Mark 13:22
For false Christs and false prophets
shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were
possible, even the elect.
The Bible also warns that many
people will be seduced by false teachers who will lead them astray with
doctrines of devils and demons. It is amazing but a recent survey found that
57% of Christians believe that there is more than one way to Heaven. The truth
is that this is complete blasphemy. The Bible is crystal clear that there is
only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ. The following
scriptures attest to this fact:
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.
1Ti 2:5 For [there is] one
God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Surely we are living in the last days when even Christians
would deny many of the cardinal doctrines of the faith, especially ones having
to do with the essentials of salvation. The truth is that many people are
living in the world and the world doesn't like the truth. The world is becoming
consumed with the liberal leftist and socialist thought process that believe
that everything is OK if it feels OK. This is paving the way for the
legalization of gay marriages, adoption of children by gay couples, increased
sexual immorality, etc. While none of us is perfect and we all have fallen
short of being sinless, the truth is the problem lies in the fact that sinning
has become OK as more and more people abandon the Christian faith. As they
abandon the Christian faith they discard Christian values and morals.
Jesus gave us these signs so that we would know to remain
faithful despite the changing atmosphere and environment around us. wickedness
and lawlessness is gaining ground in the world, and soon the "man of
sin" will emerge and carryout his dark deeds according to the Word of God.
The rampant rise of evil in our society will help pave the way for the moral
and civil decline in society. We are already seeing increases in crime,
suicide, homicide, and crowded jails. We are truly reaping what we have sown.
God will not be mocked and no nation is safe from the judgment of God if they
purposefully rebel against Him.
In my humble opinion, the first step in recovering from the
rise of wickedness and evil in our society is to pray. We must pray without
ceasing and pray that God helps deliver us from our own self inflicted
immorality. The Bible says that the last days will be like as it was during the
times of Noah, when wickedness and evil were so rampant that God flooded the
Earth to cleanse it from such evil. Yet the lesson to learn is that even though
God flooded the world and destroyed everything that lived except that which
Noah took on the ark, it gives us a reason to long for the blessed hope of the
rapture of the church that will remove us from the time and place of God's
wrath that will fall on unrepentant sinners. Despite the darkness that is
slowly but surely enveloping the world, we should seek the spirit of God and
all the things that are of Him including love, joy, peace, goodness, etc.
God bless.
