01/16/24 BELIEVE AND RECEIVE
The more that a State (a human government) cooperates with the will (the purpose) of God, the more it will experience His blessings. The more that a State (human government) resists, rejects the will (the purpose) of God, the more it will suffer the judgements, curses and wrath of God.
The principle is true for individuals as well. However, the innocent, righteous or law abiding suffer at the hands of, and because of the actions of the wicked. Christians also suffer as we fulfill our commitment to communicate salvation to a needy but hostile world.
The wrath of God, the condemnation for our sins was satisfied by the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Those who place their faith in Christ have passed from death to life, from condemnation to peace with God.
This world is not simply a testing or proving ground for our faith, it is our mission field, our battle field, where we fight the good fight of faith and where we live or die for the glory of God.
We do not live to please or exalt self or the world. If you love the world or the things of the world, the love of the Father is not in you.
