Putting One’s Faith in Something Other Than God Almighty or Jesus Christ

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
–1John 5:4

FAITH IN THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD

To listen to modern man talk is revealing.

Very revealing.

A person will talk-talk-talk the talk about their supposed faith in God or Jesus. Some will go as far as to proclaim “I love Jesus.”

THEN–when the talk turns to the times of uncertainty which seem to be arising all around–that same person will demonstrate where their REAL FAITH lies by the plans they have made for a very uncertain future.

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man”
–Jeremiah 17:5

Modern man loves to talk-the-talk: about faith, about God, about the future. But when the talk turns to what that man has decided will secure his future, all that talking is exposed as empty words.

Some put their faith in government or government programs.

Others put their faith in the things they themselves can accumulate or control (gasoline generators, stored food, solar power cells, etc.).

Still others will declare they are “okay” because they have a “strong network of family and dependable friends nearby.”

When asked about his previously-claimed “faith in the LORD,” one man did NOT quote the Bible.

Instead, he quoted a popular old song from the 1940s: “Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.”

“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.””
–Psalm 118:8-9

One of the best ways to discover IF a person is trusting God Almighty or Jesus Christ is to listen to that person’s plans for dealing with the chaos many KNOW is coming in the future.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
–1John 2:15-16

The list of things men of little faith choose over God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ is a long one. It is almost always a list of the things of this world.

Some of those things chosen include:

power generators
canning supplies
stored food
gold
guns and other weapons (including crossbows and knives)
various underground structures
various hidden structures (including those underground)
the churches or “my church family“
pension checks
government programs(?!?!) such as food stamps or Medicaid
buried money or other valuables
alternate forms of power
other detailed plans for water, food or shelter
elaborate plans for defending these hoards

Oh, some make sure to let others know they have stored copies of the Bible–AS IF doing so will secure them the blessings of God.

But the Bible is most usually the last thing mentioned–not the first.

Finally, it is revealing how many have decided they will know the situation is once again “under control.”

“When the government takes control again.”

“Oh they’ll take back over. They’ve been planning this for a long time.”

“They will have to do something!”

It’s surprising that how many anti-government types–those who detest the present system of government–have placed their faith in government. It is commonly “a new form of government” which they feel certain will arise after a severe disaster.

“It would be the perfect opportunity to make all the changes!”

It is sad how many have put their faith in the very things of man which have proved to be false.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. “
–Psalm 146:3

HAS the reader made his plans for the day of uncertainty?

IN what has the reader put his trust and faith: God or the things of man?

THOUGH time grows short, there is still yet a little time left to change direction (repent) and call upon the name of the LORD.

Do not wait until it is too late.

Is your calling and election sure?

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

The World’s War Against God’s Word

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”
–Psalm 119:89

The world wages a continuous battle against God’s Word.

It never ceases.

Satan (and the world) know IF men are disconnected from God’s Word, the success of the enemy is assured. Which is a primary reason the world has raised up so many alternate sources of authority: government, media, science, medicine, history, tradition, the churches, entertainment, fashion, music, and others.

Their job is to challenge God’s Word at every opportunity: to mock, to scoff, to denigrate; in short, to attack the validity of God’s Word, offering their often-colorful stories in its place.

One recent attempt is the article, To Understand Why We Have So Many Languages, Look Way, Way Back in Human History. The article offers a narrative built around a number of claims, of which “rainfall and warfare are just two of the many factors.”

God’s Word relates the origin of man’s various languages, which occurred a few generations after the flood.

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”
–Genesis 11:1-9

…and so it goes.

God’s Word offers the truth, as well as the answers to men’s problems.]

The world offers its competing version and drags men away from the truth, as well as the answers to their problems.

God’s Word never changes.

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”
–Psalm 119:89

The stories, traditions and fables of the world change whenever it becomes convenient or when men cease to believe the earlier stories of the world.

THE TRUTH NEVER CHANGES

The world has a very compelling reason for its non-stop attacks: IF one doesn’t know the problem, one cannot arrive at a solution.

IF men do not know their problems or the answer to their problems, they will follow along behind the latest stories of the world offering to solve those problems. Men who are in the dark are much easier to control and enslave.

The closer we come to the climax of human history (Revelation 4-22), the more intensely the world will challenge the Word of God.

The reader will be FORCED to make a choice–and the Bible declares that the overwhelming majority of men will forsake God Word and choose the deceptive stories of the world.

The reader cannot avoid making a choice.

The Word of God OR The stories of science, medicine and other authorities exalted by the world. Forcing men to make a choice is one reason the events of the end times occur.

Which will it be?

HAS the reader put his faith in the many stories of the world?

THOUGH time grows short, there is still time left to change direction (repent) and call upon the name of the LORD.

Do not wait until it is too late.
