Humankind is meant for more than we see in this world. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 tells us that that God calls us to endure hardships in this world, remain diligent in seeking Him, rightly interpreted His Word, and stay set apart for His use in preparation for eternal life with Him. This is how God makes examples of ethical consistency amid a sinful world so that we can learn and choose eternal life (2 Timothy 3:10-15). But these days, it seems that the exact opposite describes our society. These last days are more perilous than any time in human history. And by the phrase “last days” I mean the whole time from the writing of the New Testament until now and until the second coming of Christ. And the moral decay we see is a direct result rejecting God’s calling. 

God’s wrath against sinful humanity, outlined in Romans 1:18-29, is not a joke at all. We need rock-solid dependence on God to turn this thing around. And this solidness comes from God’s wisdom found in the Holy Scriptures. A refreshed commitment to God’s Word is the only practical response to the judgement we see happening around us. That is because God’s Word is powerful in the human heart and can change the minds of people in distinct ways. But first, we must let Him in.
