These are indeed dark times in which we find ourselves living in. The world is a crazy and dangerous place. There is a lot of anger and hatred all around. Sometimes we focus on all the wrong is going on and we forget what the cause of the problem truly is. It is easy to look at the symptoms and point to certain things in society which are wrong without realizing the true source.
The source of society's problem and our world's problem is a problem of the human heart. There is in each one of us a sinful nature. We may not even realize it is there unless God allows us to see it through the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
We are all born into this world with our hearts bent away from a Holy God. We have sin in our hearts from birth that block us from having a relationship with God. God loves us with a deep love. He demonstrated His great love towards us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
The Lord Jesus came to the earth to live a perfect and sinless life. He went to the Cross and shed His blood on the Cross for your, mine, and the worlds sin. He rose to life on the third day to show us that He is indeed God. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father and one day He will return to this earth as the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
We are all deserving of going to a literal hell for all eternity. God out of His great love for you made a way to be reconciled back to Himself through Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you! He wants you to repent of your sins and trust Him as your Lord and Savior.
Sometimes I am afraid Christians are more known for what they are against then what they are for. I am no exception to that. I am not perfect and I make mistakes and I sin. I am thankful that I am forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and I am thankful that He is still working in my life through the Holy Spirit who indwells me and everyone that have placed their faith and trust in Him.
I want everyone to come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved so they won't suffer in hell for all eternity. I don't want people to suffer. We need to preach the Word and proclaim the Good News to all the world so many more can come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Help us to tell others about You and what You did on the Cross.
Help us to have the courage to stand upon Your Word.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name I a pray,
Amen.
