Fear of corona virus but refusal to repent and believe the Gospel

[vic66]

Many world governments are spending billions and are going into a frenzy over corona virus, their fear is that it could spread like the Spanish flu of the early 20th century, which killed many, even more than who died in world war one.

 

Corona virus is making headlines in the news papers, world wide web, tv, radio stations, pubs, bars super markets and work places internationally. 

 

Yet there is something far more critical, and of the upmost importance. Sin and rejection of the gospel is more serious then the corona virus. Being in sin without a saviour put one in danger of being lost for all eternity.
Rom1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Mat 10:28kjv And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

There you have it there is something far worse awaiting mankind then any pestilent

 

The great tribulation which is yet to come, the lake of fire and a angry God will make corona virus look trivial and insignificant. God is angry with sinners every day but he is long suffering to us wards not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance. Lets receive his free gift and way of escape from wrath. Repentance and faith in Christ the Lamb of God is the right way to go folks.

1Tim1:15

¹⁵ This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; what from you might ask? eternal separation from God! Wrath

John3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him

Men are more concerned with the spread of corona virus, but there is a God who is calling men to repentance through the preaching of the gospel, yet many ignored this message every day. The effects of rejecting the gospel will be far more severe then corona virus, Spanish flu, bubonic plague or Ebola. These pestilence though horrid can only destroy the body but Jesus takes it further.

 

Below statement shows there is no hope for any of as unless we REPENT. Repentance and faith towards Christ is the key to access God the Father LOVE and divine FAVOUR

 

Luke 13:1-5 (KJV)CHRIST WARNING TO REPENT!

13 There were present at that season some that told him(Jesus) of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

² And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

³ I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

⁴ Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

⁵ I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish

 

Repentance, faith and humility before God through the cross of Christ, will cause God grace and favour to be released to the repentant sinner or nation.(see book of Jonah) The book of judges is a good example of this. When the nation of Israel sinned, and turned away from obeying the law and prophets of God. He God would allow their enemies' to defeat them in battle, invade Israel, steal their live stock etc

when Israel's enemies  oppressed them, they cried out to God because their affliction. God then would have compassion on them and raise up judges to deliver them. The scriptures teaches a humble and a contrite heart God would not despise. This same humility and turning from sin is what God is still looking for today. 

1 Timothy 1:15KJV)

¹⁵ This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief

John 3:17(KJV)

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Rom5:8nkjv

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 

(WARNING FOR SINNERS )

 

Isaiah 48:22NKJV)“There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”

Luke 16:19-31jv

¹⁹ There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

 

²⁰ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

 

²¹ And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

 

²² And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

 

²³ And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

 

²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁶ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

²⁸ For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁹ Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

³¹ And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead

Philippians 4:69kjv

⁶ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

⁹ Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

 

  Christians should learn from David at times like these!

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Well said @vic66 and so very, very true.

The world is worrying about the leaf, but can’t see the forest!

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and that He rose from the dead and He is our Saviour. Repent of our sins and ask the Lord Jesus into our lives and we have passed from death to life and we are saved.

I commend our medial workers who put feet to faith and stand between illness and hopelessness giving everyone they touch the chance to live another day and have the same opportunity of meeting grace which was given also to us.

I heard this on one particular news program: They said that near where the first case was contracted, that the Chinese have a biological weapons laboratory.    Of course, they wondered if that had something to do with the virus.

How many people here are from Australia? There was a incident that involved a shopper pulling out a knife in a supermarket, and it was related to toilet paper. Search on google for this incident. Apparently some places in Australia, supermarkets have sold out of toilet paper.Panic buying

Look at what is becoming of society, this level of madness, a person pulls out a knife all for toilet paper? What hope has this world got.

Medical technology that was in place during the Spanish flu in 1918 and the medical technology today is very, very different. The flu is worse than the Corona virus and many will not even take a flu vaccination.
