There is no confusion
with what God says. People don’t always
want to hear what God has to say and they may try to make it say what it
doesn’t say, but it doesn’t change what is.
People have always tried to make evil good. Sin is the most lucrative business on
earth. Sin is made out to be attractive
and something to be desired. Sin is used
extensively to “get ahead” in the world.
It is the way the world operates.
Sinful behavior is the norm. We
are constantly bombarded with sin. It
influences the way we think and live.
Sin is not seen by the world as something evil, it is seen as something
good and useful. God declares that evil
is not good and those who say it is are bound for destruction.
People also declare
that good is evil. There is much
opposition to those who stand strong on what God declares to be true and
good. The world has very little
tolerance for people who oppose what they do.
The world has always fought vigorously to try and silence God’s
goodness. They declare that good is
bad. They oppose those who declare
sinful behavior to be sin. They don’t
want to be told that there is a godly standard to live by and to be held
accountable for. The world will do
everything it can to deny the fact that they can’t do what they want to
do. In the world’s eyes, good is evil
because it opposes what the world wants to do.
God declares that those who oppose good and call it evil are bound for
destruction.
When God speaks of
destruction, He is not talking about annihilation as some declare He is. Destruction is spending eternity in
hell. It is alienation from God. It is an inescapable sentence of being an
outcast from God’s presence. Destruction
is an eternity without hope. It is
eternal torment and anguish of heart over blown opportunities to repent. God will not be mocked. Truth will prevail. Evil is evil and good is good. It behooves us to educate ourselves about all
that God declares is good so that we might live it. Many things that we think are good are not;
they are evil. Ignorance is no
excuse. God has given us His Word to
educate us. We must be willing to listen
and learn so that we can live lives that are pleasing and acceptable to
God. God does not confuse us. He guides us into all truth and we had better
pay attention. Destruction is certain for
all who do not walk in the light of God’s revealed truth.
