Living for God in this perverse generation

For Christians who do not endanger basic biblical orthodoxy in this generation of politically correct, morally corrupt, and uncivilized large-scale criminal anarchy, the "straightforward" of traditional morality and values ​​will become increasingly difficult​​​ . Gospel, set foot. Learning and pious behavior. It will be difficult for Christians to resist the "storm" of religious persecution and social exclusion. The censorship of conservative values ​​and the message of saving the gospel on social media have begun.

There will also be storms, volcanoes, and earthquakes of greater frequency and intensity, such as the birth pains mentioned in Matthew 24: 8. The radical left “ain’t seen nothin’ yet” when it comes to God’s supernatural intervention and judgment.

There was an unprecedented spiritual battle because Satan used the latter to “about like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). At the same time, God extends his hand of love and grace to everyone.

But in all these difficult times, Christians are facing a major event. "The glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ is the blessed hope that we long for. It is precisely because Christ appears in glory that it will mean the complete and permanent removal of sin from our experience, and we will be immediately Change and complete."

At the same time, how should Christians live their lives and how should they respond to this generation? There are six ways:

1. Realize that we are fighting spiritually.“Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers…powers…world forces of this darkness…the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:11-12).

2. Perseverance. “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord” (I Corinthians 15:58).

3. Fight for faith.“…contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3).

4. The Bible that calls for victory and protection.“…greater is He {the Holy Spirit} than he {satan} who is in the world” (I John 4:4).

5. "Comfort each other." These three words are from I Thessalonians 4:18. The context is the catching up of all believers from the world, in what some Christians believe to be the rapture.

6. Live above any disapproval. “… prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear at lights in the world, holding fast the word of life…” (Philippians 2:15-16).
