The sermon explores a lament over the apparent absence of righteousness in a world increasingly marked by deceit and wickedness, drawing from Psalm 12 to highlight the pervasive nature of falsehood and the need for divine intervention. It emphasizes that while the prevalence of sin can feel overwhelming, the central message rests on the assurance that God has acted through Jesus Christ, offering salvation and refuge from the pervasive darkness. The people of God are encouraged to recognize their own need for redemption, to trust in the purity of God's word, and to actively proclaim the gospel, knowing that God's covenant faithfulness ensures ultimate justice and eternal safety for those who believe.
