Fearing Evil

Why do we fear evil? We fear change, we fear anything new, we feel uncomfortable in new situations. But why fear evil?

Evil is nothing new, it's been around since Adam and Eve took a bite out of forbidden fruit. So why are we so scared of evil?

Evil has already been defeated. Jesus did that on the cross. He took our place and destroy the sin that took our hearts, our souls. He made us one with God again. Jesus defeated evil. Why would we be scared of something that has lost?

So it it's dead, and old, why are we so surprised when we see evil in the world? Why are we scared of it?

Why fear evil?
