Jesus didn't come to make peace with evil ...
Jun 21, 2022
1 John 3:8 NLT - But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
Jesus didn't come to make peace with evil ...
- He came to destroy the works of the devil
- So we can be free, and walk in His abundant life — forever
>> Reality Check.
The world has always been in a battle between God vs Satan ... good versus evil.
It's why Jesus came to rescue us from evil.
1 John 3:10 points out there are two types of people in this world.
- Children of God (Christ-Followers)
- Children of the devil (everyone else)
Luke 12:49-56 tells us unbeknownst to woke christians, He came to divide, not to bring peace to the earth.
There will never be a peace treaty between good and evil. You can't have unity unless you have agreement. Not even in the Church.
Jesus paid the price for every child of the devil to become a child of God. This is the redemptive work of the gospel.
And while we are commanded to love our enemies (children of the devil), we are not to go along just to get along.
On the contrary, God will divide the sheep from the goats.
Matthew 25:31-33, 41 NIV - The Sheep and the Goats
- When the Son of Man comes in His glory
- And all the angels with Him
- He will sit on His glorious throne
- All the nations will be gathered before Him
- And he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats
- He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left
- Then He will say to those on His left
- Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Children of God, we are in the world, but not of the world.
There are parallel kingdoms on earth.
- The Kingdom of God
- And babylon, the kingdom of darkness.
Babylon is busy creating a one-world government.
What they fail to see is there already is a one-world government. It's called the Kingdom of God.
The fight is fixed. And we already know who wins.
If you are on the LEFT ... it's not too late to get RIGHT.
