As it becomes less holy, it reminds me that widespread Biblical illiteracy is the primary reason. People simply feel they do not need a Saviour. They may need addictions of all sorts, alcohol, drugs, lust, therapy, and other ways of addressing a need that all humans have.

The Bible informs us of the two important truths we need to know.
God is Holy. Sin is a great offense to him. ( He is perfect without sin.)

We aren’t perfect and, if we want to please God and to spend eternity with Him - an eternity glorious and joyful, no sin at all,
we need to be saved from our sin. But, it is not a self-improvement project, although we are improved by a life that that recognizes and depends on God, but it is about worshiping that God as we commune with Him. Therefore, Jesus died and accepted our guilt for Himself, in that we were powerless without him to be sin free before our holy God.

The obstacle for many is that faith comes first, the choice to believe there is a God. Some people come to believe by reading and understanding His Word. Some come by examples they’ve seen in the lives of others. Some come from their own felt need.

Those who do make that choice know they’ve moved from despair to hope, from darkness to light, and from death to life.

But, without faith, it means nothing but foolishness to a non qqbeliever, the irony being that the Bible teaches the opposite about where the foolishness lays.

That faith is life changing long before death and the reason for hope in a maddening world. For those who believe, Happy Resurrection Day is what it’s all about.

I wish that for everyone.
