WICKEDNESS CAN’T RIVAL GOODNESS – Luke

Make a Choice to Avoid Wickedness

(Passage: Luke 22)

Evil reigns in the domain of wicked people. While goodness makes good people prosper; evil people will perish in their vices. Evil people will reap the consequences of their actions here on earth, and permanently in hell.

Wickedness didn’t just appear on the planet, Satan introduced it to make people misbehave, sin against God, and miss their opportunity of receiving God’s blessings.

People who engage in wickedness are more or less children of the devil; they will perish with their master unless they exercise repentance.

Don’t allow Satan to manipulate you into engaging in evil, because evil has consequences!

The world is so full of evil to such an extent that people can’t trust each other anymore. The horror gets to an extent that a son would betray his father, and a wife would want to kill her husband for money. What a life!

Children of God must run as far as possible from engaging in wickedness. Why? Satan does not only target the unbelievers, he also targets believers. Of course, this should not scare God’s children, but we still have to be vigilant.

(Christians must understand that we have God who is strong enough to help us successfully scale through in this wicked world.)

Fret not, God will help you overcome in this wicked world!

Be careful and learn how Satan stole Judas’s mind:

Judas Iscariot, who was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples sought bribery, and he handed over his master to the enemies. (What a wicked act!) The scripture reported;

“Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. So he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him, to them in the absence of the multitude” (Luke 22:3-6).

God Saves His Children From Wickedness

You get God’s backing!

As many unimaginable wickedness reigns on earth, children of God has many lessons to learn, but we must not be afraid. God will help us win.

Believers should prepare their mind so as not to be disappointed. In this world, servants would betray their masters and family would disintegrate. Come to think of it, “trust” would be difficult to earn.

Hope remains for the believers in Christ Jesus. The earth that comprised all atrocities will not last forever!

God will soon bring this world to an end and send his children to new earth that is perfect (devoid of wickedness). He will send bad people to a permanent place called the hellfire.

To be just is to be rewarded in righteousness. People should be just and do good so that they can prosper.

Let’s have a simple mathematics to summarize this:

Person + Godliness – Wickedness = Eternal blessing

If you’ve doubted about the world being evil, then you should be convinced by the recent activities. Wars, killings, rape, and different forms of vices are on the rise. Consider to speak up against actions of violence and not partake in any form of sin. #speakup #activity #war #form #actions

A CHRISTIAN MUST BE SPIRITUALLY SENSITIVE – 1 John

Be Sensitive To Differentiate Between A True and False Teaching

(Passage: 1 John 4)

Every child of God must train himself (or herself) to be spiritually sensitive at all times. We must allow the leadership of the Holy Spirit in our lives to understand what the true gospel is. The Spirit of the Lord will also empower us to live by the truth of the word of God.

Hey, not all teachings out there are true; many lack validity in the word of God!

Fake teachers are out there to deceive those who are not sensitive in the word of God.

Any person who is not well-rooted in the word of God will fall victim to false teachings. Also, Christians who are not spiritually sensitive will derail from their faith.

Christianity is not to be merely practiced. It comes with discipline. That is, we must be firm and sensitive with our understanding of the word of God.

A Christian must not be naive to believe just any teaching that he or she hears.

It makes no sense to just believe anything that we hear “in the name of God” without confirming its validity in the Bible!

It is essential that we are sensitive to differentiate heresy from the true word of God.

The Bible warned,

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God:

Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.

And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world” (1 John 4:1-3).

Keep Your Fire of Faith Burning Rightly

The Bible has warned that a time will come that many people who are in faith will start to fall for false teachings. Many will be deceived.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

As a child of God, you have to guide your faith so that you won’t become a victim of false teachers, false prophets, fake pastors, and the like.

Our salvation received through faith in Jesus Christ is very precious, and we can’t afford to yield that to Satan. (Remember that Satan, the thief, is not willing to only steal. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy.)

Be firm as a Christian!

As a child of God, you must understand that Christianity is a firm religion that is consistent with God’s principle.

Christianity is a religion with a sound foundation. This means anyone who claims to be a Christian must know what he or she stands for.

Everyone must understand that Christianity (faith in Jesus Christ) is a religion established to satisfy God’s interest. As believers, we must hold firm to our faith in Jesus Christ without wavering.

What Must A Child of God Avoid To Escape False Teaching?

Avoid any teaching that lacks bases in the scripture. That is, you have the obligation to carefully evaluate any teaching that you receive – This can also come to you in the form of advice, preaching, or prophecy.

Be spiritually alert and ensure to reject whatever comes to you if it does not properly align with the word of God.

A Christian must reject any teaching that only entertains but lacks consistency with the Bible.

God’s principles taught in the Bible must remain our final authority.

With so many churches, pastors, and preachings in the world today, it’s easy to get confused. Avoid pitfall by personally study your Bible to establish the fact. Pray and ask God for clarity. #today #churches #trustgod
