All the corruption we see around us today has one cause.
December 2024 - We are living in a time of great and unprecedented corruption around the world.
We see corruption in politics. Political candidates and many who hold office pursuing evil agendas that corrupt government and society.
We see corruption in our justice systems. In many places the rule of law is scorned and rejected - those in authority are actually encouraging lawbreaking.
We see corruption throughout society. God's ordained order for society is being rejected. Mankind is corrupting the very concepts of male and female. Mankind is rejecting God's ordained institutions of marriage and the family. Mankind is calling evil good - and good, evil.
And, we see corruption in the church. False teachers are corrupting God's Word, and replacing it with their own sinful wisdom - so-called.
Why are wee seeing these things on such an unprecedented scale around the world? God the Holy Spirit tells us through the Apostle Paul. In the Book of Romans Paul wrote this concerning the ungodly:
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man - and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
All of the corruption we see around us today is because of one thing: Sinful mankind is perverting the glory of the incorruptible God.
In the Book of Romans, Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit ties the incorruptibility of God to several things - to the righteousness of God, to the power of God, to the holy attributes of God, to the universe created by God, and to the Gospel of Christ. All these things go together.
That is the kind of God we have. The God who says, "I am the Lord, I do not change." The God who says, "Be holy, because I am holy."
Rejection of the incorruptible God produces the corruption we see all around us.
The only thing that can truly change the situation is for sinful mankind to bow the knee to the incorruptible God of the Bible. Mankind needs to face the truth about the incorruptible God, and the holiness that He rightfully demands of us.
And how do we know the truth? Where do we find it? We know the truth because we have an incorruptible Word from the incorruptible God. We shall turn the spotlight on this great fact in our next update.
