The root cause of our present dilemma

Apparently no one seems to have a solution for the widespread crime and violence that are being committed worldwide and I do not believe that anyone is capable of averting it due to the fact that this was already prophesied to happen as we have been duly instructed saying; “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” And, “Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2Timothy 3:1-5; 12-13).

Let us therefore do not expect things to improve or get any better because the whole world in on a collision course and the best we can do is to follow the instructions from the apostle John who said he heard a voice from heaven saying; "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:4-5).

The crux of the matter is, even the majority of those who profess to be believers in Jesus Christ are not dealing with the root cause of this dilemma but are attempting to deal with the effects of the problem and not the very source of it due to their perception and belief in Jesus Christ which is based simply on a sort of emotional, sanctimonious sentimentalism and regarding some basic principles as metaphors and not taking them literally.

The root cause of what is happening worldwide, is due to what is happening in the spirit realm, first and foremost we have been duly admonished saying; “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled” (1Corinthians 10:3-6).

Because of this spiritual battle we have been admonished again saying; “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:10-12).

The irony of truth is, we have not been taught the truth as to whom we really are since the advent of Jesus Christ, many people still regard themselves as the old man who existed before the advent of Jesus Christ the last Adam, despite the fact that we have been duly instructed saying; “Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:16-17).
