Exit Death, Enter Death Culture | thebereancall.org

Creation Week in Genesis 1 is punctuated with God creating living things on Days 3, 5, and 6. Ten times the Bible records that God created living things ‘after their kind’. Clearly, God is the source of all life.

God made it clear to Adam that rejecting the Creator of life would result in death. Satan enters and tempts the first people to reject their Creator, clearly knowing that death would be the outcome. Indeed, death and struggle for survival resulted from this Satan-inspired rebellion.

Speaking of the Pharisees who were plotting to kill him, Jesus said, whenever the Children of Israel abandoned God and followed after false gods, they ended up with death and bondage. "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John:8:44).

God creates life; Satan works to destroy life (murder/death). So, it is not surprising that countries which turn their backs on God reap a harvest of death and misery. Whenever the Children of Israel abandoned God and followed after false gods, they ended up with death and bondage. The experiment has been repeated many times with the same result (see Judges and Kings).

Can countries that were once strongly Christian expect to avoid similar consequences if we turn our backs on our Creator? No!

The evidence is mounting in our time where nations that once honoured God’s ways have abandoned God, aided by the grand lie of evolution, that we no longer need God. We see it in the developing culture of death, for example in:

            • Unrestricted abortion, even up to full term!

            • Euthanasia (‘voluntary assisted suicide’)

            • Indoctrinating children with gender bending ideology, creating confusion, disaffection with life, and suicidal urges.

            • Extremist ‘deep green’ ideology that sees humans as a plague on the earth—they therefore support all policies that kill people, or prevent people being born.

Jesus proclaimed: “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John:14:6). He is the antithesis of Satan who is a liar and a murderer. Jesus also said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John:10:10). When we turn away from our sin to follow Christ, we pass from death to (eternal) life (John:5:24).

So, whose side are nations on? With the growing prevalence of the death culture, clearly many nations are not on God’s side, but Satan’s.

Satan’s grand lie is that God is a spoilsport who wants to make you miserable with rules and regulations. He tricked Eve in the Garden in that way, claiming that God was withholding blessing from them.
