Matthew 24:12-13 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
The Bible speaks of a great falling away in the last days (2 Thessalonians 2) before the end of the age arrives, and it seems that we’re seeing it on a grand scale all around us. Virtually everywhere we look we’re watching the decline of morality and ethics — in government, entertainment, and social culture. It seems hard to deny that we’re living in the final days of abounding iniquity which Yeshua (Jesus) foretold.
This is not an easy time for true believers. The evil around us can be so discouraging and the darkness so oppressive that it really threatens our ability to walk in love. Yet the reality of the gospel is brighter and more relevant than ever in this world. And the inner light of Messiah burning in us will be all the more intense and warm in this gloomy landscape, if — and only if, we fill our lamps with His holy oil and burn with His last days love. Anti-Christ culture is permeating our society. But we respond with the enduring culture of Messiah, a culture of supernatural love that will not die.
Take heart and don’t be deceived or discouraged, or allow your love to grow cold. These signs of the end are simply proof that God is on His throne and His sovereign Word is being fulfilled exactly as He spoke it. Continue in His love. Radiate His light. Wherever you are, wherever you go, bring His love. Love will endure, even forever.
Thank you for writing these admonitions yet encouraging words. We need to contend for our loved ones; especially our children and grandchildren. God is on the throne and He has won the victory through Christ Jesus our Lord. I am so glad I found this site!
I agree with what you say about it can be discouraging with all the darkness around. Especially watching what these new generations are exposed to. Love is the key.
Press in to the love and leading of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must be careful not to let ourselves or our loved ones (children) become desensitized to sin and immorality…its everywhere…and no one seems to bat an eye…help your people Lord to be wide awake….in Jesus name…
Amen
