"Preach the word in season and out of season" (2 Timothy 4:2), so we must stick to the pure gospel and not change because of the changing environment. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." (Matthew 24:35) The Bible is infallible.
Christians should be light and salt. The greatest feature of light and salt is that they can change the environment. If light cannot illuminate, it is not light; if salt has no taste, it is not salt. You are the salt of the earth. If salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled underfoot. (Matthew 5:13) The faith of Christians must influence society, justice, rule of law, and education; in a secular society, renew the entire society. Wherever we Christians are, we must become better.
Romans 1 teaches us to live a holy life. So we must oppose all unclean lifestyles such as fornication, homosexuality, and transgenderism.
Christ is the King of all, including society, the nation, and the church. We must have faith, especially when we are facing battles. You must know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12) Those who are willing to endure suffering for the sake of the pure truth will be remembered in the temple of the Lord; the Lord uses suffering as a seal and seals it in the hearts of those who belong to Him. Especially in this absurd generation.
But we must know that suffering for the truth has the Lord's promise and remembrance, and the suffering for the Lord will become the Lord's seal:
"I bear the seals of Jesus on my body." (Galatians 6:17)
"If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and glory of God rests on you." (1 Peter 4:14)
"Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus." (2 Timothy 2:3)
"All who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will also suffer persecution." (2 Timothy 3:12)
"God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love you have shown for his name." (Hebrews 6:10)
No matter which country or region we are in, no matter how bad it is, if we keep the truth, the Lord will turn over all evil. The countries and regions where we are will also be blessed because of us. For example: becoming a Christian country and becoming one of the best countries in the world.
**Since Joseph had given his house and all that he had into Joseph's hand,**From that time on the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian because of Joseph; and the Lord blessed all that he had in the house and in the field. (Genesis 39:5)
The Lord said, "If I find fifty righteous men in Sodom, I will spare all the people of the place for their sakes." (Genesis 18:26)
If you have the message of losing everything rather than losing the gospel, whether it is a person or a country, you will gain more. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33) This is also the reason why Christian countries have become the best countries in the world.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, and blessed is the people whom he chooses for his inheritance." (Psalm 33:12) The Bible has shaped the foundation of modern civilization, and the Christian faith has guided the justice of the system, the order of the family and the mercy of society. Therefore, Christian countries have become the best countries in the world.
