Without God, things change; goodness, love, truth and beauty become
perverted into something else, something detestable. Most people who
know anything about the Bible are familiar with John 3:16, but don't
stop there- read on. Some people refuse to to listen and someday their
infamy will be exposed for what it is. And then comes the judgement,
first man judges God as being of no-account and then ultimately, God
will judge them for their decision. Here are a couple of passages worth
considering....
John, Chapter 3
16 For
God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 18 He
who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been
judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and
only Son of God. 19 This
is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved
the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
Isaiah, Chapter 5
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
who put darkness for light,
and light for darkness;
who put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!
who put darkness for light,
and light for darkness;
who put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!
From John, chapter 3, we progress from the famous to the infamous in
just a few short words. Like most perversion, it begins with our
definitions of what evil really is. This is where the Isaiah passage
comes to bear. Let God do the deciding as to what is GOOD and EVIL, not
whatever we human beings think it should be. What do you love- Good or
evil? In the words of the picture- what makes your heart skip a beat?
Now there is a topic worth considering on a warm and sunny winter day in
Florida!!!!!
