Galatians 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
It is the Lord Jesus Christ that does the delivering, not we ourselves. Our sins are paid for, blotted out, removed as far as the east is from the west -- HE is the one that performed that work -- HE is the one who gives us enough faith to believe in Him.
The trick is this: we get the stupid idea in our pea-sized brains that there is some inherent good in this world. That men are somewhat good in the inner parts. That thought never came from the Bible. If it were not for the atoning blood of Jesus Christ applied to our souls, we would be as good as in Hell right now. ALL have sinned -- except Jesus. Amen. He didn't die for his own sins -- he had none. (Heb 4:15)
This present world -- according to the Bible -- forget what your philosphy professor taught you is EVIL! It is
presently ruled by the 'god of this world' - the devil. (2Cor 4) Satan offered 'all the kingdoms of this world' to Jesus Christ in the wilderness, but Jesus turned him down. But ONE DAY! Amen! He's coming back -- John 14 -- He will come again! He will strip the devil of his power and bind him in the bottomless pit for a thousand years.
The world that now is -- this present world -- is EVIL. God says so. And brethren, Canada, Australia, the U.K. and the USA are EVIL -- take Hollywood for an example.
It is the will of God for you and I to be delivered from this present evil world. Not to go out of the world just yet, but to be delivered from its way of thinking, its way of doing things, its thoughts and ideologies.
Back to the Bible, or back to the Jungle!
Isn't the will of God something you need? Sure! Is it something you are willing to seek? When you find it (with God's help and the Bible as a guide) will you do it?
Amen! . . .. . . .. .. .. .. I'm done. Breathe easy, men.
