Answers with Ken Ham - Fighting Thorns and Thistles

This is Ken Ham, author and speaker on Genesis and the Bible’s reliability. Have you ever grown a garden? It can be frustrating work fighting off the weeds and insects. Sometimes it even seems like nature is against us, making our jobs more difficult. Well, that’s not how God originally designed it to be. In God’s “very good” creation, Adam’s work of caring for creation was a joyful task. But, after sin, God cursed the ground, so it now produces thorns and thistles. The Bible tells us all of creation groans because of sin. But there’s hope! Because of Jesus’ sacrifice for us, someday those who trust in him will dwell for eternity in a new heaven and new earth where the curse will be no more. Dig Deeper Why Did God Make Weeds?
