Thankless generation

This is no pointing fingers to you. This generation which includes me foremost is most thankless.

Samson before Judg:15:11 killed 30 men (Philistines) and lit fire on the tail of 300 foxes and destroyed all of their crops and after that killed many Philistines. Philistines have been oppressing the Israelites for the past 40 years or so and they have been suffering under them. Samson (one really strong man) is showing glimpses of becoming their next judge and when he started to fight against the Philistines in his own way, they say, " Don't you realize the Philistines rule over us? What are you doing to us?"

We are asking God the same question. When God tries to evoke our attention to the true deliverance, to His own self, we are telling God! See, we are comfortable like this under the prince of this earth. Why do you want to disturb? Suddenly God's Sovereignty and existance come to be questioned. His unending love is on the radar.

We were so comfortable in our sins, in the pathetic fallen sinfulness of the world, suddenly when we see light, we try to snuff it out. We have become so comfortable with the dark that we question the light. We have loved the putrid so much that we do not prefer to renounce it. Light exposes the sinfulness in us. It is our choice to relinquish it or retain it.

In this global pandemic scenario, God is not punishing mankind. He is crying that we would see our fallenness, our rottenness. According to God's standards, All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. No one does good, not a single one.

If you say why innocent are dying, I say all have sinned. If you say even children, why should they suffer and God is cruel, I say man's fallen nature is what prompts. He gives opportunity for everyone to repent. 

Who teaches a child to be selfish and possessive? Who teaches a child to lie?

Is there any man who can claim he is sinless? Is his thought life pure? Of anger, lust, jealousy, envy, pride? Even once have they not sinned? All have sinned and fallen.

God's standards are different. Looking lustfully at a woman is adultery and being angry at someone or calling someone a fool, is answerable before Him. According to God's holy standards, mankind has fallen. His very nature has become corrupted.

Unless we realize this, we wouldn't have the realisation that we need a Saviour. A Saviour, not another sinful being. But God Himself who is Holy. JESUS CHRIST, died for this fallen nature of mankind, that all who believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life, to be called as children of God, heirs of God, co heirs with Christ.

 All forgiven.

In no other name is salvation possible. 

!REPENT.!
