John 8: 32
Jesus said ‘I am the way, the truth and the light and
no one come to the Father but by me.’ The world is seeking for the truth of
life and it is turning to different ideologies trying to seek the truth.
Where I am
at this city, I saw the advertisement by a Christian cult which puts up their
scriptures on the TV popular programs enticing the people to read the
scriptures of their cult and to experience their teachings.
There is
also another cult which is also very hard working; they have stands, manned by
their faithful workers beside the train and bus stations where they hand out
literature on their teachings. They claim to be another denomination of the
Christian faith but we know them to be cults for a long time.
Yet I also
see that there are some in the west who run after Asian mysticism such as Yoga,
other Indian religions and practices, some also run after Buddhism, meditation,
etc. The sad thing is that a good number of these were former Christians or who
come from Christian homes.
Then the
latest shock is that many Christians have also run after the radical IS
terrorists. Some have joined these and some girls are offering themselves as
wives and sex slaves to these terrorists. They do that thinking that their
ideology is something exciting and worthy not knowing that their ideology is
totally demonic.
In the world
today the people continue to rebel against God as they had thousands of years
ago. The god of this world, Satan has blinded their eyes and mind and have
cause them to believe in lies and deception instead of the gospel. They have fallen
into the trap of the devil and are completely disillusioned by the devil’s
teachings. They have deserted the truth and have become captives of the devil
and are deeply in bondage.
Jesus came
to set the captives free, He saw that all men are under the bondage of lies and
therefore He came to bring the truth of the Gospel and He declared in John 8:
32 And you shall know the truth and the
truth shall set you free.
Therefore it
is important that every believer in Jesus Christ must study the word and be
strong in the word so that they can put on the full armour of God and stand
against all the wiles of the devil that is thrown against us.
