Some
scientists believe that greenhouse gas emissions are damaging to the
environment and are causing climate change. Some environmentalists are so
worried about protecting the earth. Others promote climate change for financial
gain.
As Bible-believing
born-again Christians, we are not denying that we should care for creation and
our environment as God commands us.
And God blessed them,
and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:28 KJV
One day God’s wrath shall pour out
justice on an increasingly wicked world.
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the
sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
And men were scorched with great heat, and
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they
repented not to give him glory.
Revelation 16:8,9
KJV
There is
nothing wrong with going green, trying to reduce carbon footprint, solar
panels, windmills, and other energy sources but we must remember what saves
mankind is the Christian gospel which needs to be heard, especially with the
united voice of the world that seems like climate change is the issue above all
others. That is a lie from Satan. The Bible tells us that this whole world
lieth in wickedness.
And
we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
1 John 5:19 KJV
We
remember that God is Sovereign and this world is not our home. God will one day
destroy this present earth in which there will be fervent heat and the earth
will be burned and replaced with the New Heaven and New Earth.
But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away
with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein shall be burned up 2 Peter 3:10 KJV
And
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Revelation 21:1 KJV
Many people
nowadays are so worried about climate change and its effects, which lead to
environmental challenges such as images of droughts, melting glaciers, floods, wildfires,
etc are heart-breaking but how much more terrifying fire awaits people who die
without Jesus Christ, there is no second chance, for those whose names are not
written in the Book of Life.
But the heavens and the
earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men 2 Peter 3:7 KJV
And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of
fire Revelation 20:15 KJV
However,
we should not let environmental changes consume our thoughts, where things that
God created are held in higher esteem than God (which is Idolatry). The most
urgent need for people throughout the world is to get priorities right. Instead
of glorifying climate change, it is time to repent. Jesus says
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.
Luke 13:3 KJV
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will
judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he
hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Acts 17:30,31 KJV
Jesus answered and said
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God.
Marvel not that I said
unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:3,7 KJV
The message of hope we proclaim
is not a hope in human endeavour, nor hope in this world but the hope of the eternal
world to come.
There is
only one name whereby we must be saved Jesus Christ alone!
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12 KJV
Blessings in Christ,
David & Gay
