There Are Two Worlds

Happy Sunday everyone,

Recently, I’ve been writing on the transformed life, which honestly speaking is the solution to global problems. I always wanted to transform my society, but as I looked at the world, I understood better that it was “normal” for the world to behave this way. I’m sure you’re wondering why I said it is normal for the world to act this way. I believe I must have written about why this is so, but allow me to go through a letter Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy.

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!
