One of my favorite Bible verses is Revelation 21:4 "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Our whole world seems to be in chaos right now but God will bring his order to it. I believe many people has lost sight of this that God will one day bring us peace and happiness to our entire world.
Instead of listening to God's words of peace, love, kindness and compassion, we are becoming more like the people in Noah's day. Genesis 6:5,11-13 "The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt. for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth." It is clear that if people turns away from God's guidance, there is a good chance that they themselves will become corrupted and violent.
I know that our government must be neutral in order to rule fairly over us, however it must also have a moral code in order to protect it's citizens. There are some people that we must be protected from who are immoral to a point of harming others. Our leaders must act in an ethical way so that violence and corruption do not over take us.
I know that some people do not believe in God and they live by their own rules. I only hope that their rules do not include giving out fear and violence. People who live their life without out believing in God are taking a risk that there is no devil. I personally believe we need God to protect us from the devil's destructive plans. It always seems to me every time that we ignore our spiritual growth evil grows stronger. A person who's mind is focused upon the teachings of Jesus Christ is not thinking about doing something evil. A person who is looking into the light is looking away from the darkness.
Even though some people have turned away from God's teachings, they can still come back to him. They can let the teachings of God to soften their heart so to let go of their hate and violence. They can learn to live in peace and be our brothers instead of our enemies. We all can be a part of God's new world, living together in his new order without death, pain or sorrow for God has the power to changed it all.
