gerani,
There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.
Sounds like the teachers report at any PTA meeting doesn't it?
I know there are many people who do not believe in God. But that does not change the fact that Jesus left Heaven, was born as we are born, (Meaning; a baby unable to provide for Himself and depending on another to teach Him right from wrong) lived a perfect sin free obedient life, died in our place, and was resurrected as the first of many. AMEN! And who did He do this for?
YOU! ME! EVERYONE! He came to save mankind, and no matter what we believe or disbelieve we will not change the fact that He paid OUR PENALTY and gives us HIS reward. If I gave you a new car and you sent it to be crushed instead of using it, it was and is your choice.
God gave mankind free will, we choose, a relationship with Him and the peace and hope that can only be achieved through this relationship. Or we choose to reject Him, His love, His peace, His power. If a lamp that is burning brightly says I don't want to be connected to that outlet anymore, and it pulls its on plug what happens?
Sin, and its father only have one goal and that is destruction. Does people abandoning the very reason America was founded make it right?
Did the Israelites worshipping a golden calf they had made with their own hands instead of the God who had made them with His hands give power to their idol or make their acts right?
My young brother I could give you testimonies without end of God's love and care. I have seen people given life when every worldly trained doctor gave them hours to live. I have seen people healed in the time it took a doctor to walk out and back into a room. I have prayed demons out of people, what am I trying to say, I have tested God and know that He is good, He keeps all His word, and it isn't my thoughts alone that tell me God is love, The Holy Bible tells me in 1John4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. GOD IS LOVE. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."
I repeat, it is the fault of the devil and the evil he has spread across this planet that there even needs for a discussion as to whether or not murder should be legalized. If we love each other we want only the best for each other, and this includes those too small to have a voice.
By the way, I am an American, married to a Turkish person living in Germany. It is not America's political laws or beliefs that offend me or even cause me sorrow. The European states with their sexual beliefs (some call it freedom) far exceed anything America as a whole has yet reached. What causes me to worry is the signs of the times, the opening comments are not my words, they are not the words of a news reporter, they are the words of Paul, found in 2Timothy3.
The Lord Jesus Christ is returning soon, and He has our rewards with Him. What will be your reward? Now is the time to be sure of your faith.
