THE MODERNIZATION OF SIN IN THE MODERN WORLD

Praise the lord,

In this blog, we are going to learn about how sin overrules our life and how we are adjusted and accepted to live along with sin in our life even we know that what we are doing is a sin, also how Satan cunningly bring sin into the world, which god created and especially how the sin has evolved in the modern times.

In the book of romans chapter 8, verse 2, we read that, "Through Jesus Christ the law of the holy spirit, who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death, and it is mentioned in the bible that, the lord himself sacrifice his beloved son, Jesus Christ in the cross to set us free from the sin and death. However, in the present world, many people are entangled in sin, and they are unable to overcome it. This is the cunningness of Satan, who does not allow us to enjoy life or set ourselves free from sin completely. To set ourselves free from sin and death, which comes from sin, Jesus Christ is the only way, and every spiritual person knows this, but apart from this we must understand the consequences of doing sin, and various forms of sin and mainly how sin is evolved and it becomes a normal one in our day to day life. Without knowing this realization, one cannot completely enjoy the salvation which Jesus Christ gives us through the cross.

DISOBEDIENCE – THE FIRST AND FOREMOST SIN:

In the beginning, God created the world, and created Adam and Eve, the lord ordered both Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, but Satan cunningly cheats eve and both Adam and Eve ate the fruit, and this we read in the bible and the story all of us know, But how was the sin came into existence of the world, it is not by eating the knowledge fruit which gives good and evil, but the sin comes through the disobedience of both Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve disobeyed the word of god, and ate the fruit; that's where it all began, so the first sin that came into the world is disobedience. This disobedience broke the relationship between God and humans.

If a potter makes a pot, the pot should come in his desired design; otherwise, if the pot doesn't come in his desired way, then the potter will destroy and collapse it, and he will make another fresh one. Similarly, the Almighty god and the creator created us through the mud, but the creation had disobeyed the creator. Even if the creation i.e., Adam and Eve disobeyed the almighty creator, our lord, who has an eternal love for us, he is not willing to destroy us. Instead, he came to earth and sacrificed himself to bring salvation to humanity. Wow! What a lovable creator and god we have.

Satan cheated Adam and Eve, and made them eat the fruit, so that they did not even know that they were committing the biggest sin. Romans 5:19 clearly says that "For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man, the many will be made righteous”. From this verse, we clearly understand that through disobedience, sin comes into the world, and even in this present world, disobedience is the key to many sins.

 In this current world, most people take disobedience as a casual matter, and they have been normalizing the sins that come from disobedience without even knowing the consequences. Even many Christians and spiritual persons also disobeyed to the word of god in many times, Most of the Christian people thinks that, we really obeyed to the god, they think that, we obey to the god, when god speaks in dreams or through preaching’s of pastors, and at sometimes, when they see or hear a spiritual message given by pastors and the word of god speaks to him and they obey at that particular time, but it is not like that in real, God will not always speaks through dreams or messages or pastors, we are living in the last days of the world, many false prophets and many false preachers are there. So don't search Word of god in social media or YouTube all the time. I had a childhood friend who used to search bible verses on Instagram and even advised me to search bible verses on Instagram. This is how we are taking the bible verses and the word of god lethargically and not seriously. Our Almighty god had already given his words, which are written and given to us as a law book, which we all have in our hands, "HOLY BIBLE", so let us stick to the words and verses of the bible. How many of you obey and practice the bible verses in real life? All of us didn't obey the word of god i.e., the words of the bible). If a person completely lives according to the bible, he will be completely set free from sin.

The bible says that smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, watching porn, and even thinking wrongly about a woman is a sin. How many of us are following these principles? These are the basic principles of Christianity. In this current generation, especially this generation of youths, they are losing the roots of Christianity. A spiritual person should keep his roots in faith of god and his words, In the present world many of us are keeping faith in god, for blessings, for better job, for better financial status etc…. but not all of us stick to the word of god, not following the word of god, it is completely useless. James 2: 20 says that " You foolish person, faith without deeds is useless", In this current world we are going to church once in a week and spending 2 to 3 hours in the church and return to our normal life, it's not exactly god wants from us, we should follow his principles and obey his words. Those who read this, just ask yourself a question, "Are we following the word of god, which is said in the bible, in our day-to-day life? And if the answer is no, I'll give you the answer, just follow the bible verses, obey the word of god, and follow the basics that are all said in the bible, the lord will help you out and lead you in the righteous path.

 

GOING WITH THE WORLD, INSTEAD OF WALKING WITH GOD: 

I sometimes admire that we spiritual people, who regularly go to church and pray daily, don't believe in the word of god many times, and we sometimes supposed to argue with god. If god says something to do, we are giving too many justifications and reasons to follow the bible words and the things that are said in the bible. In this most advanced technological world, we are using many words, many reasons to justify our sins and laziness for not to pray, not to read BIBLE not to follow the basic principles said in bible and we comfort ourselves and we are saying practically, logically, technically following the bible verses in this current world is not at all possible. We fear that if we did not drink, smoke, or speak bad words, with friends, or if we didn't go out with friends, we will lose them, we are not ready to accept that, or we do not want to lose the worldly things and friends.

In this current generation, today's youth and children, and even adults, want both the world and Jesus; it is not possible, you have to sacrifice one thing to get another one. The bible clearly says that 2 Corinthians 6:14 “do not be yoked together with nonbelievers, for what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?.

 We are worshiping a almighty god, supernatural god, who is above nature and above all and we are reading in the bible from genesis to revelation, so many miracles, which is not at all possible by man or any other thing in the world and some things which we can't even imagine in nowadays, and which is not at all practically possible in the world at any part of the time, and we especially Christian people, who regularly goes to church for years, hesitates to follow the simple and basic things which bible says to follow. We can't set boundaries on the word of God. Yet, our almighty is beyond nature.

 We believers of one true god, Jesus Christ are supposed to have "Love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” as mentioned as fruits of the holy spirit in GALATIANS 5:22.  But instead we are having immorality, impurity, debauchery, various art forms of idolatry, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, drunkenness, uncontrollable anger issues etc..

Dear everyone, when are we supposed to stop saying silly reasons, and procrastinating things for reading the bible, to pray daily, and when are we going to walk with god, and when are we going to leave all the worldly hatred things? There is no time at all, we are living in the last days, and many prophecies are happening in our days, many spiritual leaders and pastors are saying that we may be the last generation. So when are we going to stop saying reasons and when are we going to change ourselves from our heart and mind and obey the bible words and walk with god.

 There was a man named Noah in the book of genesis, the bible says that during the period so Noah, the whole world is fulfilled with sin, Every single person in the world committed sin, but Noah had no excuses, he doesn't say being righteous is not practically or logically possible, instead he walked with the god, He remain righteousness, lord sees Noah. The whole world was flooded and destroyed, and every single person, except Noah, was saved.

"Only one man remained in his righteousness and walked with god, and he was saved in the entire world when the whole world was in sin, so what are your excuses? Think about the sacrifices that the lord Jesus Christ has made on the cross. The bible clearly says that in Luke 17:26, just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of Jesus Christ. The things we are witnessing now are already said in the bible, all about wars, natural calamities, famine, and deadly viruses. So, leave the worldly things, don't run behind the world, keep our lord Jesus Christ in front of everything, he will lead us in the righteous path.

 

GOD BLESS YOU AMEN !

Article by: Christopher 

              In this blog, we will ponder the significance of faith in a person's life and the fruits it bears. Believing in the almighty and placing our wholesome trust in our Lord Jesus Christ is the foremost commitment for every spiritual individual. But do we truly understand why faith and the principles of faith are essential in a Christian life? The Bible emphasizes, "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Faith Makes Us Righteous Persons:

     A detailed study of Romans chapters 3 and 4 reveals that "faith makes a person righteous." The Bible also recounts, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." Abraham, known as the Father of Righteousness, became righteous through unwavering faith in God. His faith influenced even the Gentiles, illustrating the transformative power of faith in making a person righteous.

Faith Gives Us Peace:

            As stated, "We are justified by faith." The Tamil version beautifully expresses that "we receive the peace of God through faith." God desires our complete faith and belief, promising to fulfill our needs. Despite worldly sophistication, many lack peace of mind. God provides peace through faith. Ease from suffering and tranquility of mind come from acknowledging God as the creator and putting all of our trust in Him.

Faith Gives Us the Glory of God:

            Paul tells us in Romans 5:2 that we can see God's glory through faith. Complete faith fulfills our needs, eliminating worry about the future. Righteous actions resulting from faith reflect the glory of God. Those who witness our righteous deeds become witnesses to the glory of God in us. Ultimately, by maintaining faith in God, we radiate the glory of God to those around us.

Faith Forgives Our Sins:

Acts 26:18 highlights that it is through faith in God that our sins are forgiven. In this imperfect world, everyone falls short of perfection. Our sins are forgiven when we continue to have faith in God because of His boundless grace. We should feel secure in the knowledge that God has pardoned all of our transgressions as His children. Adopting this belief on a daily basis strengthens our bond with God.

Remember the quote!

"Instead of telling God about your problems, introduce the Almighty to them." 

        THE TRUTH THAT SETS US FREE AND THE LIES THAT HURT US..

Article by: Krupa Rajendran

         We have been exposed to a lot of lies, many of which we have also accepted. Some of the lies are so elegantly disguised that it is nearly impossible to recognize them for the lies that they are: fabrications that have been spread, consciously and unconsciously, to mislead and perplex us.

     The frightening part is that some of these lies connect to our Christian faith and what we understand about leading lives that are centered on Christ. These are deceptions that the prince of deception instills in our minds to sow doubt and complications in our quest to live for God and carry out His purpose.

1 Peter 5:8,

Be alert and of a sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

            What lies are you believing in your heart? The lies that keep you up at night and prevent you from living your life fully. In this new blog, I'll be examining lies that young women regularly hear and fall for, as well as the liberating truth.

        We'll talk about two lies in a post that harm many young women, including myself. Despite all evidence to the contrary, many of us have come to believe these lies to be genuine.

LIE NO. 1: WHEN I'M BAD, GOD DOESN'T LOVE ME.

              I was lying on my bed, trying to look out the window, but I couldn't see anything because of the thick droplets of tears that were pouring to an unheard rhythm down my face and onto my clothes.

There were no positive aspects in my chaotic life. I picked up poorly while thinking I could handle the attention. I made decisions that led me to believe that God could not possibly love me.

             It happened a few years ago. There was a time when I thought that God's love depended on my behavior and that I would lose it if my actions went against what He desired for His children.

Have you ever had the thought that your goodness will earn God's love?

LIE 2: IF GOD DOESN'T GIVE ME WHAT I NEED OR WANT, HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY LOVE ME?

                 What do you want the most? what you have prayed for days, weeks, months, years, or even decades. Maybe you've grown tired of the idea of a loving, caring, and generous God by this point. You have no idea as to why he continues to deny you the "one" you have been pleading for years.

   Perhaps, you define success as having a husband, kids, excellent health, or even financial security. You now believe that God has forgotten you and doesn’t love you since he haven’t given you that one thing.

         The devil has been telling such lies since the beginning of time. The serpent's remarks caused Eve to distrust God's character and choose to eat the forbidden apple.

What is the devil trying to tell you today? Is he advising you to marry anyone, and make your own decisions in your life without considering anyone, or is he encouraging you to get pregnant as an unmarried woman?

      Knowing the truth and holding on to it is a strong approach to facing the devil's lies, for it is the truth that will set us free.

THE TRUTH IS THAT GOD'S LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL; THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS, TIME LIMITS, OR TAKEBACKS.

       God's love is limitless. It cannot be quantified or appreciated. His love is beyond time and place, and nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from God's love.

     He loved us even before we knew he existed. He was thinking about us and wanted every one of us to understand everything he had prepared for us.

The Bible teaches us the following:

Romans 5:8

“God demonstrates his love for us in this While we were still sinners Christ died for us.”

Romans 8: 37-39

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

1 John 4:18-19

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.”

ANOTHER TRUTH IS THAT GOD LOVES US TOO MUCH TO GIVE US EVERYTHING WE WANT WHEN WE WANT IT.

         Consider your life and some of the things you desired and obtained, as well as those you did not receive. Even if things don't go as planned, you can discover that you are still fine. This is because God understands us better than we know ourselves. He is the only one who knows the end from the beginning and lives outside of time.

     

  He wants us to lean on the reality of his word, which reminds us that he loves his children and is always willing to provide for them if they trust him and are being patient:

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Lamentations 3:25-26

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

      I hope these words have encouraged you, and that when the lies come calling, you will remember the reality of God's word.

GOD'S WILL for US..!

             God's WILL for us!

Article by: Christopher

             Today, we will ponder on the most significant and recognizable figure in the Bible, John the Baptist. He was portrayed many years ago by the prophet Isiah as the "voice of one crying in the wilderness, that prepares the way for the Lord and makes his paths straight." He was born in this world to fulfill the prophecy and serve a purpose. John understands that his mission is to prepare the way for God by baptizing those who confess their sins and preaching about the almighty. In the book of Matthew, we can see that he is preaching repentance to the people of Jerusalem and all of Judaea.

     In the bible, Jeremiah 29:11 says

   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.   

        

                A brief description of the birth of John can be found in the chapter of Luke. According to the Bible, John is a messenger of God, and his birth, life, and purpose are all predetermined by the Almighty. He was born to pave the way for the Lord of God, and the most astonishing thing about him is that he sacrificed and resigned himself to the almighty by remaining a sacred and holy person so that he could complete the role that the almighty god gave to him.

 

               When I initially started studying John,

 I admired one thing: he was a person who was born with a purpose and was aware of his place in the world.

 

              He focused solely on his mission and position in this world after discovering them. Of course, John is an ordinary individual, and he has plenty of obstacles and challenges in his life, but he doesn't care, and despite all of his difficulties and hardships, he accomplished the goal that the Almighty had given him. Similarly, everyone who read this article had a distinct purpose on this globe that our Lord provided to us; some individuals had discovered their purposes in life but were not attempting to fulfill them due to laziness and slight impediments.

                                         Don't procrastinate anymore, 

              Try to find out as soon as possible and start working on...

                                         Stay blessed...! keep reading.

WAIT..!! THE THINGS WILL WORK OUT SOON..!

    BLESSINGS AND WARM GREETINGS TO OUR DEAR BELOVED READERS...

 We are so glad to meet you through this blog. Now let us get into the topic.
              Wait ! the things will work out soon..!

There is a time for Everything

 Ecclesiastes 3;1 says in The Bible, there is a time for everything under the heaven. Ecclesiastes speaks of various times in this chapter. likewise There is a time for everything in our lives too. We grew up (Infant -adult-Elder)  Adolescence is a time for everyone to grow. Similarly There are different seasons to ( Winter-spring-summer-autumn). There is time to work and a time to test, but we expect things that should happen so soon in our lives. so we prepare ourselves in advance but God has a plan for us.

  A wonderful verse in which Bible says 
" Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Because God will have a plans and purpose for us in order to flourish. But the plans will bloom only when the time arrives, until our duty is to wait patiently, we never do so.

  Here I would like to give you an example,

                    We all know the Mighty bird Eagle which flutters or pluck his feathers and hide inside the mountain after getting the new feathers eagle used to fly high and exhibit his Majestic look. The wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion. The lord is Almighty he will have a great plan and vision for us to look over by him, It might be worldly but god's plan is totally different what we dream for.

     I want to encourage you by telling you the change of events that happened in the Bible.

 

Wait ! water will turns into a grape juice

                 In New testament times , Mary the Mother of Jesus, and Jesus were invited into a wedding. Where the wine ran out, Jesus's mother said to him. "They have no wine".

    John 2;4 says " Dear woman, why do you involve me?"Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come". 

 Even the lord Jesus Christ also waited for the work until the time arrives, when the time arrived he turned the water into grape juice. Just like that in our lives normal things become extraordinary while we wait patiently , definitely It brings us a great blessings into our lives. If we don't wait for the perfect time we can't blame him for not receiving great blessings to take place.

  But the almighty is expect only one thing from us that is none other than patience, stability & stubbornness on him and his plans for us.

  If we wait.! we will get things which denied for others 

              Acts 1:4 says " Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift My father promised, which you have heard me speak about".

     They did not leave Jerusalem as the lord Jesus Christ had told them, But they waited for the promise to be fulfilled. 

The time has come, finally the day has arrived, the day of Pentecost came. 
In Acts 2;1-4 
which talks about the happenings at Pentecost, how the Holy spirit engulfs everyone there. waiting will always bear us a fruit of triumph.

     Especially   In Verse 4 "All of them were filled with the holy spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit enabled them.

so the verse which exhibits the gift of waiting in the hands of The Lord. Thus, while they waited they received the anointing of the holy spirit. which was not available for Many. But it is not the God's will that his plan to be bless more than in number. we are not ready to wait for him. But if we do so he will do & make things possible in our lives.

    Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ we are all grateful for the grace and given us a wonderful opportunity to reach you & tell you a few things about benefits of waiting, patience through this blog.we will meet you soon with another exciting blog .. 

Until then Be patient , Be still in the lord Jesus Christ.....
                     Stay Blessed....!
                     Keep Reading....!

        Never Lose Your Hope,
     Have  Patience Till The Time Arrives..
