MAN WILL NEVER FIND THE SOLUTION TO THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS, UNTIL HE REALISES THE TRUE CAUSE OF IT ALL - TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW OF GOD!
Ask any world leader what the greatest threat to mankind is today and you will get answers like - climate change, pandemics, wars, terrorism or extremism.
We are getting bombarded now with the so called threat of pandemics and climate change, and yet they ignore the very CAUSE and root problem of all the world's
troubles, which is SIN - the transgression of God's law. Sin is a 'pandemic' far more deadly and infectious
which has infected every person in this world, and yet you hear nothing about it! This is so important for the world and for us individually to understand.
But the saddest thing of all is that even the churches are doing more to warn about 'climage change' and the 'threat' of pandemics like COVID, than they are in warning the world of sin! Why is this? Because even the churches trample upon the law of God and are continuing to live in sin and realise not their condition!
If COVID taught us anything, it taught us that most churches rely upon man instead of God! But why is the world languishing and dying? Is it because of pollution, climate change, war, division, terrorism, or any of these things that the leaders keep telling us? No, these are merely the result of the true cause for all the problems in the world. Look at what God says:
Isaiah 24:4-6 ...'The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; BECAUSE they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.'
Why is the world languishing and dying? Because of transgression against the laws and ways of Jehovah. Because of SIN!
Just look at all the churches that have jumped onto the climate change, ecumenical bandwagon, thinking they are doing some good work for God, and yet they have little to no conviction of sin in their own or other people's lives. They are blind to the greatest and most deadly 'disease' this world has ever seen - sin. And what did God tell His people to warn the world about?
Isaiah 58:1 ...'Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.'
What are we to warn the world and the churches of? SIN. And what is sin according to God's Word? 1 John 3:4 says that "sin is the transgression of the law." This is what God is warning the world of and this is the real cause of all the problems in the world, look:
Hosea 4:1-3 ...'Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. THEREFORE shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.'
Do you see? Sin against God's holy law is the reason for death, decay and destruction in this world. And did you notice the sins that were listed in Hosea 4 above? They are sins against God's ten commandments, that holy moral law which is binding upon every human being on earth. And it is sin against this moral law that is the cause of all the world's troubles. Hosea also says there is no seeking of truth and what does the Bible say is truth?
Psalm 119:142 ...'Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and THY LAW IS THE TRUTH.'
God's commandments are THE TRUTH! Yes, Jesus Christ is the truth (John 14:6) and the Word of God is truth (John 17:17), but these all go together. You cannot separate Jesus Christ from the law of God, as the ten commandments are an expression of God's character and as Revelation 14:12 says, the end time saints are those who "keep the commandments of God AND the faith of Jesus." Do you see how they go together? Jesus Christ is the truth and God's law is the truth. And it is transgression against Christ and God's law which has brought the curse upon the land and all the troubles that we see in the world.
Zephaniah 3:1-4 ...'Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! she obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.'
Have the churches done "violence to the law" of Jehovah? Oh yes! They have done violence to the 1st commandment, by replacing the one true God the Father, the one God we are to have "no other gods before", with the false 3 in 1 trinity god. They have also done violence to the 4th commandment by replacing the 7th day Sabbath of God, the only day that God has ever blessed and sanctified for holy use (our Saturday) with another day (1st day, Sunday).
Ezekiel 22:26 ...'Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.'
Jeremiah 6:16-19 ...'Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, we will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.'
Do you see? The troubles in the world are merely the FRUIT of the rejection of God's ways and law! And what were we told in Ecclesiastes 12:13? ... "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
Not the whole duty of the Jews alone, but the "whole duty of MANKIND." But because the world and the churches reject the commandments of God and trample underfoot the commandments of God and thus the grace of God, the curse is upon the land. THIS is the cause of all the troubles in the world. It is not because of pollution, or climate change, or pandemics, or terrorism, war or any other thing. These are the RESULT of the root cause, which is a rejection of God's commandments or doing violence to God's commandments by replacing them with the commandments and traditions of man.
Mark 7:7-8 ...'Howbeit IN VAIN do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men.'
So the ONLY solution to the world's troubles is to turn to Jesus Christ, being followers of Him by faith and being KEEPERS of God's commandments. When we turn to God and seek His ways and commandments, then God will turn to us and heal us. Look at what God says:
2 Chronicles 7:14 ...'If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.'
This wasn't just a promise for the Jews. This is a promise that is just as sure today for us. But we have to turn from sin and seek God's ways, NOT the ways and traditions of man. The apostle Paul warned that everyone who names the name of Christ to 'depart from iniquity' (2 Timothy 2:19). And as we have seen, to commit iniquity, or sin, is to 'transgress the law of God' (1 John 3:4). So what are Sunday keeping churches doing by changing or rejecting the 7th day Sabbath of the 4th commandment? They are transgressing the law of God and are living in sin. What are churches and the world doing by accepting homosexuality, which God calls an abomination? They are transgressing the law of God and openly accepting sin. They are departing from God's ways, and thus God leaves them to their corrupt ways which ends in death and destruction. THIS is the cause of all the trouble in the world!
Romans 1:24-32 ...'Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.'
Do you see the RESULT of turning away from God's ways and His commandments? God will give people up to their sins and thus the spiral downward into even more sin and destruction takes place. THIS is what we see in the world today. It is not pollution or climate change, or wars, etc which are the cause of the world's troubles. These are the result, not the cause. The root cause is turning away from God's commands.
James 4:1-8 ...'From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.'
There is only one solution to the troubles of the world, and that is to turn to God with all our hearts, turning away from sin and surrendering our lives to God's ways and commands, allowing Jesus to cleanse us of all sin. Sadly, we know the world in general and most churches will not do this, as they would rather follow the ways of man than the ways of Jehovah. But we CAN in our own personal lives decide to seek the will of God and follow His ways, and thus receive personal healing in our lives and victory over sin. Will you choose God today and be healed? Do not follow the world or the churches, as they have turned away from God. Instead, be a follower of Jesus Christ. He will lead you in the ways of righteousness and eternal life.
Matthew 19:17 ...'if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.'
Revelation 14:12 ...'Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.'
Revelation 22:14 ...'Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.'
