When we find a person who has been in an auto accident, a gaping wound on their arm is showing, do we rush to get them with an ice cream cone and put a band aide on it, or do we rush them to the hospital for the uncomfortable fix of stitches and antiseptics?
Our country has been destroyed for lack of instruction and even worse lack of desire for truth. Instruction and correction is rejected by nearly everyone because of the stubbornness of the heart. We are going to be destroyed, going down, I wonder if the smiles and head nodding will cease when there is nothing left to save and no one left to impress? Israel of the past found out what happens when a country gets to where we are right now!
Isaiah 1:2-6 “Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth;
For the LORD speaks,
“Sons I have reared and brought up,
But they have revolted against Me.
3 “An ox knows its owner,
And a donkey its master’s manger,
But Israel does not know,
My people do not understand.”
4 Alas, sinful nation,
People weighed down with iniquity,
Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who act corruptly!
They have abandoned the LORD,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away [c]from Him.
5 Where will you be stricken again,
As you continue in your rebellion?
The whole head is sick
And the whole heart is faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head
There is nothing sound in it,
Only bruises, welts and raw wounds,
Not pressed out or bandaged,
Nor softened with oil.”
Israel is not the only nation who acts as they did back in the day. The whole world is acting this way now, one of the signs of the end of the end. There will not be many days now left before Christ takes out His church. There is not much faith left on the earth, not much love, kindness or diligence. 2 Timothy 3 has arrived as prophesied, but the hope is great in born again believers as they anticipate their home going. Hallelujah
The way of salvation for those who have not yet known Christ is to confess your sinfulness, believe on Christ, that He paid the price for your sin and will cleanse you if you want to be cleansed. Then He will send His Holy Spirit to live in you, the guarantee of our inheritance as His children. When He has done this you will no longer be the same person you were before. The WAY you think will be opposite of the way you once thought. Christ changes everything about us when we are born again and remains with us until He comes for us. Hallelujah
Acts 16:30 "…30 Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved....."
