③ Morality in the last days
2 Timothy 3:1-5 'Know this that the times of distress will come in the last days, when men will love themselves, love money, be proud, proud, slanderers, disobedient to their parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 heartless and bitter unrepentant, accuser, unrestrained, ferocious, not fond of what is good, 4 betraying, selling, hasty, sleeping, loving pleasures more than the love of God, 5 who has the form of godliness, but denies the power of godliness. Turn away from them.' - Amen.
Just as new diseases continue to arise even if medicine is made and medical technology develops, he foretold that human beings would become more evil even with education. In order to maintain spiritual peace, to have true spiritual happiness, and to show the life of a saint that is glorious to God, the saints must cultivate good morality.
Many philosophers have taught that morality and ethics are values of life. Although it has nothing to do with salvation, as we are well aware of the fact that if our morality is broken as a human being, we will lose our true human value no matter how much environmental factors we have.
Today, as the lesson of the last days, I would like to appeal to the subject of the third [morality of the last days]. Text, 1 'Know this, and the times of suffering will come in the last days', but the morality itself below that is said to be the suffering of life.
Knowing this is a simple command word, but the word to know, ginwvskw, is a term that means to know experientially and personally. The day of the last days is the word of the common day hemera (hJmevra), and it is the time of the last days and the time of suffering.
1. Charity
2 It is said, 'People love themselves, they love money...' When you believe in Jesus, your individualism and selfish spirit are bound to change. As we live in a world of militancy, selfishness is bound to intensify. However, once you become a saint, you must be transformed by your faith.
People these days only know themselves. The problem with the marriage culture of young people is that they are too self-centered, so the marriage is delayed and they do not have many children. You have to think that life isn't just for you. It is right to be conscious of the parents and those around them.
Romans 14:7-8 says, "Not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's." If we look at it, it is said that those who live for the Lord and die for themselves, that is, suicide is also a sin from a moral point of view.
The spirit of the cross makes us have precious thoughts that make us think of others. Today, many people who listen to successionist sermons do not have the opportunity to hear the word itself, so the essence of the true gospel is to live in the spirit of the cross. A preacher who only promotes his own success and skips preaching about the devotion of a believer for others is a false prophet.
2. Materialism
2'People love themselves, love money, are proud, proud, slanderous, disobedient to their parents, unthankful, unholy, mammonism and mammonism. It's like money can do anything.
James 5:3 “Your gold and silver have rusted, and this rust will be a witness to you and will eat your flesh like fire, for you have amassed wealth in the last days.”
This ideology is not necessarily a communist ideology in the view of relics, but it is an ideology that has spread throughout human history. And if you have this idea of tyranny, some evil images will follow you, such as sabotage of pride and pride. Need money, but love of money is not the Bible's permission.
1 Timothy 6:10 “The love of money is the root of all evil, and those who long for it have been deceived, and have erred from the faith and have pierced themselves with many sorrows.”
Hebrews 13:5 “Do not love money, but be content with what you have, for he himself said, ‘I will not leave you, nor will I ever leave you.’
Today's church culture has fallen into materialism. Even like the fallen Jews at the time of Jesus, there are many people who preach strange sermons that make people think that having a lot of money is a blessing and poverty is a curse. Money is a means, not an end, to be used properly for God's sake.
It is not true faith to teach or follow prayers for wealth and success on a daily basis. Those who focus on such teaching are false prophets. It is not a sermon to talk about how to live a good life without the gospel idea of the cross. Not even liberal arts education. It is the idea of almsgivingism.
It's Sodom. It is an ideology that Gomorrah and Rome neglected, and it is also the cause of the downfall of those European and Western churches. Believers who have fallen into materialism and successionism will have to repent and turn around.
3. Disobeying Parents
2 'People love themselves, they love money, they are proud, they are proud, they blaspheme, they disobey their parents, they are ungrateful, they are unholy.'
In the Ten Commandments, honor God in heaven, the first parents in the world
I did. Here, the word reverence is used together as a word to honor God. Christianity teaches the fundamentals of filial piety. One of the things that the distrustful society in Korea misunderstood is ancestral rite
Christianity is often criticized for not being filial. However, if a Christian is reviled because his family relationship is not correct or because he is truly filial, it is right that he should be rebuked for being reviled rather than criticized.
The word 'respect' in the Bible, kabod (d/bK;), is derived from the same word as the liver (kabed, dbeK), the heaviest of the internal organs. It means to treat your parents like a liver. It is a word to be cherished and respected. These days, there is no place for fathers and mothers in the home. Authority, respect and love are gone. This is also the phenomenon of the last days.
There are 660 nursing homes in Korea. However, the conditions of nursing homes are usually poor. Strictly speaking, sending to a nursing home is almost like abandoning your parents. You have to remember. If you do not want to serve your parents, you will be punished. If you disobey your parents, the sinful nature that follows is unthankful and unholy.' Honoring your parents is a heavenly feat. all morality
comes from home.
3 'He is heartless, unrepentant, accusers, unrestrained, ferocious, not fond of what is good, 4 treacherous, selling, hasty, sleeping, loving pleasures more than loving God.'
Unkindness means unkindness, refusing to resolve one's grievances is a sin of not confessing sins to God on your own, and accusation is slandering or telling people that you are evil.
Incompetence is 過猶不及 (excessive overpayment, 'excessive is the same as not reaching'), and excessive evaluation of words and deeds without holding on to the center, and ferociousness means savagery toward others. Not being good means that the heart itself, separated from God, is not good. If it is not good, then evil takes its place. To betray and sell is, in one word, an act of betrayal, and impatience is to install without care.
Hebrews 12:2 “Let us look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
said '
James 5:7-8 “Therefore, brethren, be patient until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and is patiently waiting for the early rain and the latter rain. It's close'
To sleep is arrogant. These days, if people don't know how to publicize themselves, they're treated like idiots. I'm not good at it, but I'm proud of myself. They think that they are living well, but the truth is, you have to be humble to live well.
Proverbs 16:18 "Pride precedes destruction, and a haughty heart precedes stumbling."
James 4:6 “But he gives more grace, and therefore it is said, God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Pleasure refers to all carnal pleasures, and things that are greater than God are things that God wants to live happily in the flesh. If you don't honor your parents first, the sinful nature of these types becomes stronger and you become an evil spirit that harms your own soul and harasses others.
Even those who are members of the church do not like to serve their sons or daughters, their parents or mother-in-law. The church should teach that serving parents is heavenly, but it is a wrong doctrine that keeps teaching parents what they understand.
There are also many hunks. This is a sin. This is an act that contradicts the Bible. If you do not believe in Jesus and respect your parents, it is not normal.
4. Lessons without godliness
Reverence is the attitude and willingness to give oneself to God in all things dealing with life. In the last days, we are only trying to show each other more humanly than God, but to God, we will become believers with only the form of godliness.5 'He who has the form of godliness but denies the power of godliness. Turn away from such people.' said
The command to turn around (ajpotrevpw) means to completely turn around, avoid, without making eye contact. So, instead of gently avoiding it, it means turning around with a revolutionary personality.
1 Peter 1:14-16 “Do not, as obedient children, take as an example your lusts, which you pursued when you were ignorant, 15 but be holy in all your conduct, as the Holy One who called you. 16 It is written, I am holy, so you also Be holy.”
Religion is lost in the actions of the church, and unbelievers dance and riot in the pulpit according to the culture of non-believers, which is not correct. The chapel building is a holy place of worship offered to God, and there is no human way to use it.
All believers, whether laymen or leaders, should be reverent. It must be full of modesty and a modest attitude of life that concerns for distinction, temperance and holy judgment. There is no such lesson, and the leaders and the church who talk, laugh and mess every day are in serious trouble. It is highly probable that he is a false prophet.
I heard a prophecy about the morality of the last days appearing in today's age. To believe well in Jesus, before you can receive any kind of power and become a person of miracles, you must apply an attitude of life that is enough to be a sign in society and history.
In the name of the Lord, I pray in the name of the Lord that you and I, who are constantly striving for self-examination to become sanctified like a saint, will stand out as beautiful human beings in the Lord's eyes.
