1. Save time.
Time is evil, so we should save time. Because modern society is a society with too much information, it is a busy and tiring society, that is, the end times. Being busy means wasting a lot of time, energy, and energy in places that are not for God, and it is not God's will. As time passed, food was plentiful and time to play has increased. Because it's a bad society.
A drunken, lewd, or licentious society is a sign of the last days. A society where money is an idol is also a bad time. Honor, glory, and automobiles are also a sign of evil if they become idols. In addition, the convenience of the world became an obstacle to the life of faith, and it became an evil society where people used it to deceive and corrupt morally.
The modern age is the 3S era.
First, with the infinite development of science, modern society has become a convenient era.
The second is sports, and the development of sports such as golf leads to the development of a culture of entertainment.
The third is sex, and sexual depravity is a typical symptom of the last days.
Time goes by so fast, you have to save it. If you waste time, time is wasted. Time once gone will never come back. We must receive grace with zeal in a time that will never come again. Efforts for wealth and honor are in vain, but faith for God remains forever.
We need to save time because our human nature is evil and lazy. When young children come and try to touch their toys, they stop and cry. This is because man is evil from birth. Also, because people are inherently lazy, Jesus rebuked them, saying that being lazy is evil. Do not be lazy to discern the will of the Lord. The lazy must go to the ant and learn. A lazy person is of no use to anyone.
The only way to save time is to understand the will of the Lord. We must believe and obey the will of God. A person who prepares for the future by praying, serving, and listening to the word for the kingdom of God is a wise life. Also, you must do your best. If you do your best, even if you lack it, you are worthy of God. I always have to think about whether I am doing my best.
Drunken saints are not the will of the Lord. It's not just that you shouldn't get drunk, you shouldn't drink and you shouldn't even look. It is reasonable not to drink alcohol. Many people suffer from alcohol. When you are drunk, you are out of your mind, you are breaking God's will, and you fall into a beastly instinct. You must not smoke either. Isaiah 55:2 tells us not to eat anything that is not full by eating, and not to work for it.
2. Understand the will of the Lord.
Understand the will of the Lord and receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. Receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit is the same as receiving the insistence of being guided by the Word of God. The Holy Spirit guides you into the truth. The God of the Holy Spirit works the truth, so any work that does not conform to the truth is not the work of the Holy Spirit, but the work of the devil. If you follow the Holy Spirit according to the Word of God, you will be filled with the Holy Spirit, and this will lead you to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. The life of the saints should be a life of praise. They will sing a new song, a spiritual and Holy Spirit-filled song, and a song of joy.
When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will always rejoice and give thanks to God. We should give thanks to God for everything. Grieving and complaining are the devil's business. Repent for not praying to God. obey each other Serve and obey others. Jesus did not come to be treated, but to serve others.
Believers should save time and live a wise life that follows the will of God.
(Ephesians 5:15-21) Therefore, be careful how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, saving time, for the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Don't get drunk. This is debauchery, but be filled with the Holy Spirit. Speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your hearts, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
