If we are not abiding and LIVING in the Spirit of Christ, the Devil sure is planning to deceive the whole world by playing the "peacemaker" as the Antichrist.
Lately, I have felt the Lord has put it on my heart to remind and tell people of the HOPE there is in CHRIST.
Many people may "know about" Jesus as some kind of important "historical figure", "religious teacher" or "mythical figure without giving Him due Credence; and so the people in the world cannot know the TRUE JESUS that is revealed in HIS WORD: in the King James Version Holy Bible.
People need to know NOT to put "their trust in man": money fails the people, government fails the people, politicians fail the people, court justices fail the people, education fails the people, hospitals fail the people, law enforcement fails the people and RELIGION fails the people...
What else is there to this LIFE?
ONLY GOD is the ANSWER!
It's time for people to know and LEARN of the REAL GOD revealed in HIS WORD and the wonderful gift of ETERNAL LIFE by His HOLY SPIRIT and FORGIVENESS OF SIN He gives people by trusting on His Son, Lord JESUS CHRIST to be SAVED.
Once any unbelieving sinner trusts on the Lord Jesus Christ there whole lives are COMPLETELY CHANGED! They are a "new creation"; a new man!
The way they see the world, experience life; even their physical health may change for the better!
There is FULLNESS OF LIFE and MEANING when one comes to know GOD and what HE ALWAYS DOES AND WANTS TO DO IN ONE'S LIFE!
Everywhere I look I see DECAY and CORRUPTION in all facet of life and human experience: endless warring and military conflict across the world; crooks in government, mass shootings, crime epidemics, economic depression and failure, decay of quality education, decay of society, community and the family; rampant apostasy and lukewarm Christian churches going astray after ungodly lusts and worldliness... Distrust, hatred, depression and despair of the future among everyday people walking the streets (especially in the younger generations like in my generation the "millennials"...) in all manner of groups and crowds... I can sense an ugly aura of ROT in society and coldness of people's hearts towards their fellow man... People dying on the streets. I see it too vividly - UNCENSORED and RAW... Decay of normal social skills, face-to-face communication and lack of learning essential life skills in young adults like myself and even in older adults who may have gone through hardships in life.
Everything just seems as it's said, so "f'-d up" that where would anyone know where to begin to "save this fallen world"?
Well, the answer is simply LORD JESUS CHRIST!
It's not our mission to "save the world" because the world HAS ALREADY BEEN SAVED by the SAVIOUR of the world who is CHRIST JESUS! The world just needs to know Him and the REAL HIM of His WORD and LIVE and DO ACCORDINGLY to HIS WILL.
GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD. GOD.
We must TURN TO HIM to SAVE US from all our FAILURES AND MISTAKES! Only HE CAN FIX this!
Though some may say "God can't fix this"; my question is if God can't fix it, who else could? No one else is doing any better.
It's HATRED, REJECTION, OSTRACIZATION, ISOLATION, LONLINESS, DESPAIR and LACK OF LOVE AND CARING than oftentimes is "background causes" for why people lash out and go into the killing sprees we see and hear about on the television news broadcasts.
As fallen man in this fallen world, the human heart is BORN EVIL. PURE EVIL! There is NO GOOD in man apart from the Goodness of God expressed in man!
When his time is come, the Man of Sin himself will manifest the PURE EVIL that is MAN!
ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY, LORD JESUS CHRIST is PURE LOVE!
The Antichrist is the antithesis of the Lord Jesus Christ in every way: pure evil.
Satan was once an angel of God as Lucifer; his original nature was good, but turned evil when his pride lifted his heart to think he could be "God's Equal" in Heaven... The Devil, Satan, evil as he is, is NOT pure evil because he was once holy and good as an holy angel of light.
Nevertheless, despite all the death, evil and sin in the world; the One HOPE for this world came down to earth 2,000+years ago in the small village in Bethlehem, Israel and lives on inside the souls of people who have put their FAITH on Him.
It's up to US believers, CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH GOD to abide in all of our individual callings from our Lord and gather together in the churches to do HIS WILL.
No church is perfect or every will be but as Christians we are given commandment by our Lord to fellowship with each other no matter what we believe.
God will LEAD US in HIS DIRECTION and there's no "saving the world on our part" because HE IS THE SAVIOUR. We just OBEY and DO, DO His Will in our lives on an individual basis in addition to collectively as the Church Body.
God-willing, HOPE may indeed be the continuing MESSAGE the Lord has put on my heart to share with the world in these Last Days. HOPE: because this is the coming END of this world as we know it and the coming of GOD'S ETERNAL KINGDOM here on earth in Christ's Millennial Reign and in the Creation of a New Heaven and a New Earth.
The people of the world must LOOK TO JESUS and not the problems of this life to end. Because JESUS is the Past, Present and our FUTURE!
