How Should We Then Live? - Ep.178 - What About Evil? - The Grace And Glory Effect - Part 1
We live in a world infested with evil. We live in a world held in the sovereign hand of God. How should we then live?
The Christian life is one led in a moment of three simultaneous instances of sight. We look back on our lives that were in rebellion against God. That life heaped evil onto the world as it was led in direct opposition to who God is and His Will. We look at our current lives that are justified by Christ's work on the Cross and walk in the sanctification path to conform our lives to God's Will. We look forward to the time of the end when every tear will be wiped away and where death and evil will have their final defeat.
How should we then live? We should live as those who forgive much because we were forgiven much. We should live as those who show mercy because we were shown mercy. We should live as those who face the horrors of this world we stand up and willingly give of ourselves because Jesus Christ was the main example. And as we took part in His suffering, we now take part in bestowing mercy upon others - even if those that suffer are victims of the Holocaust; even if those that suffer in the Holocaust are there because of their Christian act of mercy.
How should we then live? We should live like Christ lived and overcome evil.
