As the world becomes more and more decadent, we should continue to trust God to enable us to live righteous and godly lives (Genesis 6:9-11; Hebrews 11:7; Ephesians 2:10; see Principle 4 in Ephesians; Ephesians 2:8-9). Reflection and Response How can we as Christians develop our faith and trust in the Lord so that we can walk with God even though we are surrounded by people who are abandoning the moral and spiritual values of the Bible? (See Hebrews 10:24.) Reflecting God’s Compassion 11. We must be on guard against becoming uncompassionate when God allows people to live sinful lives and even prosper (Genesis 6:12-14, 17-18, 22; Matthew 24:38; 2 Peter 3:3-4, 8-9; see Principle 5 in 2 Peter). Reflection and Response How can we develop God’s compassion for lost people who become increasingly hostile toward us and what we believe? (See Titus 3:1-7.) Common Grace 12. We must understand that God’s material blessings represent His common grace and mercy to all mankind (Genesis 7:1, 8:20-22; Matthew 5:45b; Genesis 3:18-19). Reflection and Response Though many unbelievers simply take material blessings for granted and even take credit for their prosperity, how do some Christians violate this principle as well? (See Principle 31 in 1 Corinthians.) ----------------- 7. Principle 4 in Ephesians—God’s Gift When we present the message of hope in Christ, we must make sure that all people understand that “good works” do not contribute in any way to their salvation experience. 8. Principle 5 in 2 Peter—The Second Coming Since Jesus Christ has not returned for nearly two thousand years, we should not become apathetic in looking for His return. 9. Principle 31 in 1 Corinthians—Generous Giving As true followers of Jesus Christ, we should be generous with our material possessions, giving regularly, systematically and proportionately.
