The Only Cure for This Broken World

Is Jesus Christ

In the book of Genesis, we learn that the world wasn’t made to be broken, and we weren’t made to fall short. Evil was never a part of God’s plan, but He knew it was an option when He gave us free will. Then when evil multiplied across the earth, he sent us the cure.

“The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.” — 1 John 3:8

Satan’s been feeding the world with lies ever since he first tempted Adam and Eve into disobeying God, which brought the curse of sin to mankind. We’re distracted with fear and confusion and then lured into wicked temptations that lead us to sin and keep us from Christ.

Have you ever wondered why it’s acceptable for people worldwide to publicly mock Jesus, but not other religions? It’s because Satan only attacks the One he is threatened by. He knows full well that Jesus is the only savior of the human race.

Societal agendas

Society has rapidly declined since God has been removed from the media, television, and schools (to name a few.) In place of Christianity, evil agendas are being pushed on us as world leaders enforce harmful policies that glorify Satan, with the intent to pull us further from God.

There is no such thing as ‘your truth’ and ‘my truth’ because truth is absolute, yet current trends tell us that truth is relative. The consequences lead many to dissatisfaction and delusion that perpetuates the loop of sin and self-destruction.

As a result, we’re forced to affirm other people’s sins because being honest is seen as ‘hate’ so we must accept because that’s what ‘love’ is. Wrong.

Love is telling someone to turn around and walk away from the edge of the cliff they are about to (unknowingly) fall off.

Love is telling someone stuck in a cycle of addiction that Jesus came to set them free.

Love is letting someone know that they’re headed for an eternity of separation from God if they don’t acknowledge Jesus as Lord and repent.

The Cure

To know Jesus, and have a relationship with Him is the ultimate freedom. Instead of being dead to sin, we can be saved and live only through Christ.

“On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who needs a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” — Mark 2:17

The world is broken because without Jesus we are sick. He is the answer to all of the evils and problems we face. So we must persevere in our mission to bring light to the darkness and never cease praying for the lost, because the truth will always prevail.

Yet we do not need to ‘preach’ at loved ones or express anger because they don’t believe. We can win souls for the Kingdom through our works, not just our words. We can demonstrate loving kindness through our actions, and become living testimonies of what it looks like to follow Jesus.

We may be living in a spiritual battlefield but God is the ultimate victor, and one day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. (Philippians 2:10–11)
