Bible Question:
Do you think we are going through a time of testing? 2 Tim. 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. CDBJ |
Bible Answer: Hi CDBJ, I think we are. I think that as the Christian church, we have become so diluted by nominal Christians, who do not truly have a living faith (See James 2), that God is calling us to be holy, and be separate. Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: Jesus says to the Church that is expecting His soon return, "Hold on, so no one takes your crown," and "to him who overcomes. . ." This can't be that we're just cruising along - there will be resistance. Jesus also said that because lawlessness increases the love of many will grow cold. As we see the increase of lawlessness, do we become jaded? Consider what is happening in New Orleans right now, as armed gangs are roaming, and anarchy abounds? What should be our response? How do we pass this test? You know, the word in 2 Tim 3:1 translated perilous is used only one other time in the New Testament, of the demoniac living in the tombs. Perilous times like the wild, dangerous demon-possessed man, that no one could even go that way. How do we maintain our walk in faith? Love in Christ, mark |
