Pray for Japan and Other Countries …
Many, many catastrophes are taking place around the world and many people look to Almighty God and ask: “How can a loving God let these things take place?” and “How can a loving God let people and innocent babies perish like this?”
Well, when man fell so did creation and the result of all the catastrophes caused by the weather, and the natural disasters, as man refers to them, is as a result of sin. Here are some photos that reveal the devastation caused on Friday March 11, 2011 by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake and a resultant tsunami that hit the east coast of Japan. While many persons lost their lives, others are trapped in the rubble, thousands missing and scores unaccounted for, we pray that lives will be changed. At times like these, those persons who do not have a saved relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that they will examine their fragile lives and consider where they will spend eternity. Heaven? or Hell?
At this time Christians do praise and worship the One and Only True God Jesus Christ for His mercy and grace for not allowing the entire nation of Japan or any other to be wiped out completely. That is how patient this Awesome God is in allowing all men to repent. Scripture says He is not willing that any should perish –
9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ~ 2 Peter 3:9
Further, He says in His Word –
30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. ~ Acts 17:30,31
Listen to what the Lord Jesus warns in Scripture –
1There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:1-5
So friend, the Japanese are not sinners above all men. They have their sin, which for some includes Buddihism – idolatry before God Almighty – but what is your sin? Today, if you do not have a relationship with the only One who can save you, Jesus Christ the Lord, then you need to visit NeedGod.com – if you do not repent (turn from and forsake your sin), you too will perish.
