Happy Sunday everyone,
Apostle Paul told Timothy saying,
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2For
men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3unloving,
unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4traitors,
headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having
a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” 2
Timothy 3:1-5.
This was a prophecy Apostle Paul
wrote to Timothy, and the prophecy has started coming to pass.
The reason why all these are
happening is because the world is under the fallen world which originated from
the first Adam. Let me put it like this, the world is like a beautiful flower
that was uprooted from the ground, and as time passed it kept on dying and
later started to decay. Adam was separated from God, which was why God told him
that of the day he eats of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he will die,
and it happened, and the ground (earth) was cursed because of that also, (ref.:
Genesis 2:17; 3:17).
But in all these, God brought us
a brand new life that is fixed and attached to God, thus having God as the new
life with Jesus being the new life [just as Adam was the beginning of the old
life], all we need to do is to be translated to this brand new life and be
free from the oppression of the devil.
The cursed life that is in the old life, isn’t in the new life, they can’t be the same. Don’t think I’m writing
too much on this matter because it has to ring in our minds that there two
worlds, but we can’t belong to both, just as Apostle Paul put in Romans 6:4, to
address the point of sin, as he said, “Therefore
we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was
raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness
of life.”
This newness of life is in the newness of the Spirit, it is not as a bad boy deciding to become good, but as a
bad boy replaced with a good boy (just to elaborate).
There are two worlds, but we can’t
belong to both at the same time. One is passing away, while the other is life
itself [actually Himself]. And the only way to save yourself is to be
translated from the kingdom of darkness, the one we see here on this earth, to
the kingdom of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of Life, but then again, the
choice is yours to make.
May the LORD bless
you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you
and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus
today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations,
you’re born again, you are now brand new!
