In the beginning we know that GOD created the earth and all that is in it. He made the stars, divided the water from the earth, created the moon and the sun, and HE did this all in 6 days.
We also know that GOD is perfect, and what HE creates must come from Perfection, because HE cannot create anything else.
Genesis 3 we learn about the creation of imperfection as well as what human nature is.
Genesis 3:1-13
1 Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the LORD GOD had made. The snake asked the woman, “did GOD really tell you not to eat the fruit from any tree in the garden?
2. We may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden, the woman answered
3 except the tree in the middle of it. GOD told us not to eat the fruit of that tree or even touch it, if we do we will die.
4 The snake replied, “that’s not true you will not die. [lie]
5 GOD said that because HE knows that when you eat it, you will be like GOD, and know what is good and what is bad. [trickery,deceit]
6 The woman saw how beautiful the tree was and how good its fruit would be to eat and she thought how wonderful it would be to become wise. [tempted, doubt, lack of trust in GOD, greed] so she took some of the fruit and ate it. [disobedient] Then she gave some to her husband and he also ate it. [Adam also showed doubt and lack of trust in GOD,]
7. As soon as they had eaten it, they were given understanding and they realized that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and covered themselves.
8. That evening they heard the LORD GOD walking in the garden, and they hid [fear] from HIM among the trees.
9 But the Lord GOD called out the man, Where are you?
10 He answered I heard you in the garden, I was afraid and hid from you because I was naked. [shame, guilty]
11 Who told you that you were naked? GOD asked, did you eat the fruit that I told you not to eat?
12 The man answered, The woman you put here with me gave me the fruit and I ate it. [blame, lack of responsibility]
13 The LORD GOD asked the woman, Why did you do this? She replied, “The snake tricked me into eating it. [blame lack of trust, doubt, lack of responsibility]
So we learn that satan created imperfection, as well as the attributes of Human nature, which is fear, doubt, shame, guilt, lack of responsibility
Disobedience, and greed, etc.
Matthew 16:23 Jesus told Peter, get away from me satan, you are an obstacle in my way, because these thoughts of yours don’t come from GOD but from human nature.
So Jesus rebuked “human nature”.
Paul writes in Romans 8:6,8 To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace.
8 Those who obey their human nature cannot please GOD.
