John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
Psalm 1:5-6 “Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.”
Revelation 21:8
God’s discipline on believers

Personal examples
The consequences and effects of sin and our fallen world
Genesis 3: the fall
Can come from our sin or others' sin
The Reality of Satan
Satan is constantly wanting to deceive and tempt us.
God does not tempt us, he will only test us and give us opportunities to be faithful
James 1:13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
1 chor 10:13 No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
How satan has deceived our society
He wants to convince our society that God doesn't exist
He does this through multiple forms of manipulation, even though people that profess to be Christians such as prosperity gospel preachers
