#1 REASON CHRISTIAN BELIEVE IT’S THE END TIMES: MORAL DECLINE AND CULTURAL COLLAPSE
THE SIGNS OF MORAL DECLINE ARE GREAT BUT THE SIGNS OF SALVATION ARE EVEN GREATER!
Romans 5:20-21 -where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Genesis 6:5 - The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.
THE SYMPTOMS OF SIN ARE THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW.
PAST GENERATIONS SINNED PRIVATELY; THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF SIN WAS LOCALIZED. TODAY, SIN IS GLOBALIZED AND TRENDING.
OUR COLLECTIVE CULTURAL CONSCIENCE IS BECOMING NUMB TO THE SYMPTOMS OF SIN & ITS CONSEQUENCES.
JUST AS SIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM, RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS ALWAYS BEEN PERSECUTED.
2 Timothy 3:1-3 - Difficult times will come in the last days. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
ARE WE MORE FOCUSED ON THE SYMPTOMS OF SIN AND AVOIDING THE SINNER OR ON THE SIGNS OF SALVATION AND SHARING WITH THEM?
2 Corinthians 13:5 - Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.
