The world's corruption is due to its defiance against God... and every act of defiance is resistance to His design to rule and cultivate the world for Him.
This corruption runs deep and seems impossible to root out.
Yet Jesus has already overcome the corruption of the world through His death and resurrection... and we look forward to the day when the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and experience the freedom of His glory.
In the meantime, we actively seek to overcome corruption... starting with our own hearts, by putting off the old man and putting on the new...
For He has given us great and precious promises, so we would partake of His divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desires (2 Pet.1:4).
