The Bible describes evil generations as those that reject God and seek signs rather than faith in His Word.
In Luke 11:29-32, Jesus characterizes His generation as evil for their insatiable desire for signs rather than accepting His authority and the truth He preached. He contrasts them with the Ninevites, who repented at Jonah's preaching. The generation in Christ's time not only failed to recognize the signs already provided through miracles but also actively rejected the Gospel message, embodying spiritual blindness and rebellion against God. Jesus warns that such a rejection leads to judgment and condemnation, illustrating that throughout history, each generation faces the same call to repentance and faith.
