We, Believers, Grieve For The World

As a Child of God, yes, a Believer in God Almighty and Jesus Christ, it truly grieves my heart, to see how this World is going.  We, Believers, are to be in this World, but not be of this World, and this has never been truer, in Our lifetime, than now.  We are to live by God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes, to the best of Our ability.  Unfortunately, We can see God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes being attacked, on a daily basis.  The World wants Us to set aside God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes, because The World says so.  As Believers, We are told, Satan, Lucifer, the devil, evil, whatever name YOU want to use, will employ any means necessary, to make the World, in his desired image.  Satan will exploit every conflict, as an opportunity to further his own agenda, to create the World, he wants.  Now, We, Believers, live in this World, and though We know and try to live by God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes, We are not naive enough to think the World will do the same, even though most of Man’s Laws are based on God’s Commandments and Statutes.  The World is always changing, as history has proven time and again.  The World adjusts its laws and rules, as it sees fit, at any point in time, unfortunately.  Meaning what is good or lawful today, may be bad and unlawful tomorrow, but also, what is bad and unlawful today, may be good and lawful, tomorrow.  Unfortunately, the World today has decided to take the laws that have been written and enforced, for many years, and change them, to the benefit of some.  Many times this is in direct conflict with God’s Commandments and Statutes, which puts Believers in a bind; because We know We are to uphold these Commandments and Statutes.  But We are also told by God and Jesus, that We are to obey Our Rulers and their laws.  Hence, the reason Believers find Ourselves in such a Biblical conundrum.  We, Believers, know God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes, and We will continue to strive to keep each and every one of them, to the best of Our ability.  What the World chooses to do, what laws the World chooses to create, alter, or destroy, is just that, the World’s Laws, i.e. Man’s Laws.  We keep in mind; this has absolutely no effect on God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes.  This leads me back to the beginning, why Believers are grieving for the ways the World is changing, to be more like Satan, and less like God Almighty.  In contrast, God is continually molding Believers, to be more like Him, and less like the rest of Us.  The Holy Bible tells Us, for this very reason, giving All Diligence; add to your Faith, Virtue, to Virtue, Knowledge, to Knowledge, Self-Control, to Self-Control, Perseverance, to Perseverance, Godliness, to Godliness, Brotherly Kindness, and to Brotherly Kindness, Love.  The key word here is Perseverance.  We, Believers, have to have the perseverance to endure the things of this World, until such time as God Almighty, Himself, decides enough is enough, it’s time to bring an end to this World.  When God Almighty Returns His Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, descending on Clouds of Heaven, to end this World, and usher in The Everlasting Kingdom of God Almighty.  Until such time, We, Believers, will continue to uphold and obey God Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes, and Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ to All Yet-To-Be-Believers, and Unbelievers, too.  May Our God Bless each of YOU, in His Mighty Way, today, and every day.  Amen.
