"...I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly." - John 10:10b
"Two teenagers fatally shot last night."
"A police officer shot and killed."
"A meth house discovered in an upper middle class neighborhood."
"Hundreds massacred by militant terrorist group."
We're constantly bombarded with bad news on newscast after newscast. It's depressing. The harsh reality of the daily news challenges those who believe that man is inherently good and the world is getting better.
The Bible tells us the truth. Human beings are not innately good and kind, and society is not progressing toward universal peace and harmony. Why, just the opposite is true! Man's sin is a constant reality and if we don't want to believe it, we can just ignore the news and refuse to lock our doors at night.
There is good news, however. God is in control of history and anyone who acknowledges his need for God in Christ holds the key to inner peace and security. For in Christ, whether we live or die, we can't lose. Christ gives us the key to eternal life and living this life victoriously.
Amen!
Amen brother
Jeremiah 17:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
True, mankind is not innately good. People say that all the time, and it could not be further from the truth.
Thanks for the devotion.
