The world we find ourselves living in today has become a place filled with venomous division. One glance at the news or a social media platform will paint quite the distressful portrait of a planet that's simply hanging by a thread.
Everyone is full of emotion, desperately searching for a solution to this madness; something or someone that will save them in the midst of it all.
I have seen this generation's true colors pop through with a vengeance during the past year and a half, and I'm sharing my heart and this salvation series because so many souls that I've met and known are lost and so many in the world are oblivious to the corruption and destruction that lies in front of their faces.
I feel like sharing His Word & to show everyone that I can possibly reach with my words. Your need for Jesus is most important. There is no lasting hope to be found in a life without Christ.
I have noticed a handful of attributes in our society that I wish to address in this week's post. I pray that my words would open eyes and touch souls. People need to wake up and listen to the truth of God's word.
We are living amongst an angry generation. Everyone has been taken over by the division that has plagued us; forever pitted against one another. Malicious words are common. Opinions are debated upon. We're a world in need of a Savior to end the division that is causing the hatred to pour out from every hole it can seep through.
We are living in a time of unprecedented entitlement. The selfishness of society is shameful and unreal. The new generation doesn't care about loving thy neighbor. They want everything without working for it; the complete opposite of what the American dream stands for. We are a world in need of a Savior to remind us that everything doesn't revolve around us. The reminder to be selfless in our love of others is what I hope to plant in your hearts.
Fear has turned us into cold-hearted and self-righteous people. The amount of arguing truly hurts my soul. Everyone knows or thinks they know all of the answers. Christ doesn't want us to live as self-righteous or cold-hearted. We aren't supposed to have the answers. You cannot get to Heaven simply by being a good and moral person. Folks need their hearts softened and their eyes opened. The lost people of this world are again so blinded by Satan. People need to quit bickering with one another and spend time focusing on the matter of their eternal resting place. It is a big deal and is no joking matter.
Let's look at 2 Timothy Chapter 3 verses 1-4 for a minute:
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."
"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, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
These Scriptures completely capture the perilous world around us. We are truly in the last days.
Lastly, we are living amongst a hopeless generation. You should NEVER place your faith in any temporary treasure on this Earth. Time is running out. Jesus will come back one day very soon. There's no hope to be found without Christ. He will be your greatest source in times of helplessness. He provides a light of hope in overwhelming darkness.
"Thy word is a lamp unto thy feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105 KJV)
I want others to know Jesus the way I know Him. The matter of eternity is so very important. Don't wait until it's too late to trust in Him as your Lord & Savior. Don't ignore the tug that might be on your heart this morning. He offers so freely the gift of salvation, eternal life with Him in Heaven safe from an eternity in the fiery pit of Hell.
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23 KJV)
ROMANS 6:23 KJV "For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13 KJV)
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9 KJV)
Let Christ meet your most important need today. You're never too lost for Jesus to save.
