Understanding The Future Evil Days

Good understanding about the future evil days
keeps us aware and strengthens our conviction to stay
firm on the right path. The Bible is the only reliable
Book that guides us on how to walk pleasing to God.
Man-made philosophies of life are not reliable and
always lead a carnal mind to more wickedness and
foolishness. Without the Scriptures, we strongly
believe that no man can find his way to the right
path.
Man’s deepening involvement in the affairs of
the world brings him to a new and more dangerous stage
of spiritual deterioration. We may not be aware, but
every time we sink into sin, our old man always
surfaces and soars up to a new height of carnality.
What a sad moment when a Christian is trapped in the
devil’s snare unaware because of lack of Bible
knowledge.
Our Lord Jesus said, “And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” The
worsening condition of our troubled world affects our
lives in different ways. Those who love the things of
the world will stay in love with the world. Those who
love the Word will stay in love with the Lord. Men of
faith and men of wisdom always choose to love the
Word and abide in the Lord. In times of uncertainties,
the safest life on earth is a life lived in the center
of God’s will.
As we perceive the coming evil days, we could
also see and come to realize the importance of Paul’s
epistle to Timothy. We clearly see the great advantage
of a Scripture-guided young man engaged in the battle
for truth. Knowing the Scriptures at an early age led
this young man to a deeper understanding of the Word
of God, and eventually to a remarkable life filled
with wisdom.
Before it’s too late, we believers must be doing


        
a great preparation in order to face with courage and
strength the coming evil days. The best start is to
learn from the Bible the needful things we must know.
Bible knowledge is a must-have of every Christian.
Important things to be considered as we prepare
ourselves to stand firm on the side of Truth:
(I) The Last Days
-Perilous times II Timothy 3:1
It is always a blessing for us
to see a glimpse of future
events through the Bible.
(II) The Evil Fruits
Of Self-centeredness
II Timothy 3:2-9
(III) The Persecution
Of Godly Christians
II Timothy 3:10-12
There are degrees of
persecution in the believers’
lives. Carnal believers suffer
less persecution than spiritual
believers.
(IV) The Importance
Of The Scriptures
II Timothy 3:14-17
-Excellent foundation
-Give the best knowledge
we need
-For reproof
-For correction
-For instruction
Without the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word
of God, we cannot stand the test of evil days.
