Who Are You Going To Follow?

You have to choose between following the world or following the Kingdom of God, you can not follow both. God created a perfect world for us. But the devil polluted it with his darkness and unfortunately, human beings fell into temptation. Then, God removed His Kingdom from us and the devil stayed in the world to fill it with hate, sadness, fights and wars, despair, evil, aggression, infidelity, pride, arrogance, vanity, greed and lack of control of people’s desires. God said in Genesis 1.28: "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it”. But that was before the fall of humans, because after we fell into temptation, God said in Genesis 3.17: "The ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it." The Kingdom of God continued to be like the Garden of Eden that He created for us, but the world became the kingdom of darkness. When Jesus came he said: "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life”. If you follow the darkness of the world, you will get to the darkness of eternal death of the devil. But if you follow the light of Jesus, you will get to the light of eternal life in the Kingdom of God. That’s why Jesus warned us in Matthew 16.26: "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?". If you look at the world, it is easy to see its darkness and destiny. So, don’t follow the world, follow the light of Jesus to reach the perfect destiny that God has for you.
