Seizing the Kairos! - Present evil age

Present evil age

Galatian 1: 3-5
"Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

One of the great purposes for Jesus to die on the cross, rise, and ascend to heaven is to rescue us from the present evil age. Present evil age is talking about popular values, wisdoms, opinions, corrupt desires, and selfish pleasures of those in the world who do not follow Christ.  Present evil age is also describing all unbiblical religious systems and organizations that use the name of Christ or his family of believers, yet teach and encourage the lifestyles contrary to God's words and His standard of holiness that are given in His Words.

Many of us as Christians might realize that some of our paradigms are actually fall under the category of present evil age. However, only a few take actions to actually repent and run back to His Words. We tend to underestimate the impact of having these wrong values and paradigms because we mistakenly believe that these misleading values and paradigms is not too essentials compare to life-and-death values and corrupted paradigms.

However, the Word of God set a very clear standard as mentioned in 1 John 2:15-16
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him. For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world."

99% obedience is 100% disobedience.

It is time to ask for God's help to learn to live in God's standard, not ours. We have to daily examine our hearts and minds to ensure that we are no longer live based on corrupted values, opinions, desires, and paradigms. When we daily ask for His help, believe that He will rescue us from this present evil age!"
