The world nowadays is getting worse morally, ethically and spiritually. The Scripture says, “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…” (2 Tim 3:2-5). Many just enjoy life and indulge in ungodly pleasures, sins, lies, unfilial impiety, arrogance, drinking, gambling, opiumism, fornication, homosexuality, crimes, etc. without any idea that some day they will be judged before the righteous and holy Creator!
Many books, novels, movies, websites blaspheme God, Jesus’ Name, and His Word, the Scripture. Even in churches many neither fear God nor honour His Word. They compromise and tolerate sins, unbiblical doctrines and worldliness!
We even see those who live in hypocrisy, sins and immorality wealthy, prosperous and successful, and this emboldens them to say, write, or do presumptuous things regardless of ethics or God’s judgment! Why? God’s Word gives us the answer, “Because a sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil” (Eccl 8:11).
Sometimes we see God quickly carry out His judgment on evil works so that people fear God and honour His Word. If God always executes His judgment like that, definitely no one can survive before His righteous judgment!
Thank God for His love, goodness and mercy, He “is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9). Sadly, many abuse God’s love, despise His goodness and longsuffering, and keep on living in sins! How about you? Please read our next article.
