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 !
