THE WORLD’S SAD SITUATION
Romans
12:9 (Berean Study Bible)
Love
must be sincere. Detest what is
evil; cling to what is good.
That
is a pretty strong edict! We live
in a world that currently courts evil – embraces it – and calls it good.
It
is heartbreaking that it is so, but it was prophesied as being what will happen
before metered time ends – and the meter is
running out….
I
should be gloriously happy for my eternal future –
but the anticipated joy is
tinged with sadness. The root of the sadness comes for all
those who refuse God’s message of love, those who do not cling to what is truly
good. God alone is truly
good! He and he alone is the plumb
line for GOOD. Good is parametered
by him. Without Him we have
nothing – eternally. That’s
huge!
The
world is on a slippery slope leading to certain destruction – and seems not to
care!
Jesus
warned what would come at the end of time – and we are there.
I
am grateful for the promises we can hold on to:
Matthew
28:20 ESV
I
am with you always, to the end of the age.
Romans
8:38-39 ESV
For
I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things
present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else
in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
John
16:33 ESV
“…I
have said these things to you that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have
tribulation. But take heart; I
have overcome the world.”
Lord,
have mercy! Peel away the scales
from the eyes of all who seek Truth.
The search begins and ends with YOU!
