A Wicked Generation!

Genesis; 6:5
(Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was on evil continually.)

How many times have you heard someone tell you that basically they are a good person. Probably all of us have said this at some time or other. But here in Genesis, the Lord says "that mans heart is bent on evil continually". We have to realize that not one of us is good in the sight of a righteous God. We may do good things but all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That is why everyone of us needs a Savior and Jesus came to earth to provide us a means of Salvation. When He died on the cross, he died in our place to pay the price for sin.

God destroyed all living things in the flood except for Noah, his wife and his three sons and their wives. Also God saved some of all the animals, birds, and creeping things. They all went into the ark that Noah had built and God flooded the earth. We wonder just how evil the earth was at that time compared to how evil it is today. From what I see today, we have turned our backs on God just as they had in Noah's time. We have become a very evil generation.

I personally don't think it will be long before the Rapture of the church. If you have given your life to Jesus and put your faith in Him, now is the day. Tell Jesus that you know you have sinned and you are sorry for that sin and that you repent of those sins. Tell Him that you know He came to die for your sins and the sins of the world and ask Him to forgive you. Tell Him you want to give your life to Him and ask Him to come into your life and give you freedom from sin. Put all your faith in Him and thank Jesus for saving you. If you do this and you are truly sorry and mean what you say, He will save you and give you new life in Him.
Ephesians; 2:8-9
(For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.)

God Bless You!
