Evil is the opposite of nature |
Because nature, or creation, was called good by God upon creation, and because evil is whatever is contradictory to what is good, then evil is opposed to nature. If we, as humans, rightly executed our nature, we would reflect God perfectly as we were created to. But, as it stands, due to our flesh, we do not, and thus we do evil, and contradict the created order. |

Good flows from wisdom |
Wisdom is the use of knowledge which leads to good. The created order, being good, requires infinite wisdom to be held together so flawlessly. |

|
Created vs begotten |
Created is that which is made by God, begotten is that which flows forth from God, through which perfect transfer of very nature and character occurs. |

The Law & Death |
The wicked turn a good thing, the law, to bad account; the good turn death, an evil, into good. Just as the law is not an evil thing when it increases the evil desire of the sinner, so death is not itself a good thing when it enhances the glory of the sufferer. |
