When we look around at what is going on around us in the world today it might seem that evil is winning. It is easy to focus on the negative and hurtful things that are going on around us. We are exposed to it everywhere we turn. The media plays on the negative because it sells. They play the emotion to get us to read and watch.
I want to take this opportunity to show you from scripture that Evil isn’t winning and will never win. My prayer is that this article will encourage the believer and stir the hearts of those that have not put their trust in Jesus Christ. In John 16:33 Jesus says “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
There is great tribulation in this world But Jesus said He has overcome the world. I have made my decision to trust Jesus as my personal savior. I asked Him to forgive me of the wrongs that I have committed and He has changed my life. I know that some will say that’s good for you but there are many ways to God.
Scripture says this in John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.” I take the word of God as my truth and authority and it says that Jesus is the only way to God.
I know that I cannot change your perspective of your truth only God’s Spirit can do that. All I ask and pray for is that you will listen when God reveals Himself to you. God loves you so much that He gave His only son to die for you. Remember there is hurt and destruction all around us but God offers us peace through His son Jesus. Satan is the father of evil and destruction and he wants to destroy you and all that you have. Satan is the father of lies. In John 8:44 we read “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lust of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” You see God has revealed the truth about satan. Satan is a liar. God will destroy evil in His perfect timing. In Revelation 20:10 we read “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
Evil does not win God does.
Here are your options. Listen to the truth and trust God through His son Jesus and ask for forgiveness of your wrongs and have eternal life in heaven or listen to the father of lies satan. If you choose the latter, here is what your decision will get you. We read in Revelation 20:15 “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Evil will not win nor the people that follow after it. Choose who you will serve. Joshua 24:15 “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
What is your decision?
