Colossians 3:7

 

 

7 In [en] the which [hos] ye [humeis] also [kai] walked [peripateo] some time, [pote] when [hote] ye lived [zao] in [en] them. [autos] KJV-Interlinear

 

 

7 and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. NASB

 

 

You can view this verse from two angles.The first is that you live among the unrighteousness's due to its existence all around you in the world.And second, is that you were, or are, an active participant in the unrighteousness s that exist in the world.

 

Unrighteousness refers to a wide variety of evils which originate from the sin nature.

 

The sin nature has an area of strength which is human good, or good produced from the energy of the flesh or the sin nature.Also, the sin nature has an area of weakness which include sins that range from lasciviousness s to asceticism s.

 

Most of you, I would presume, are not serial killers, or habitual burglars, or drug users, or whatever it is that you associate crime or sin or unrighteousness, with.

 

And although these things do contribute to the evils of the world, they are by far in the minority as far as unrighteousness goes.

 

The worst examples of unrighteousness and by far the most prevalent are not petty crimes, but government policies, social lifestyles, public attitudes, popular beliefs in society, all of these things that depart from doctrinal teachings such as divine establishment principles, the definition of life, social morality, do-gooder approaches to life, and so forth.All of these things can only stand when forced onto society.

 

Remember that lie based policies have no foundation on which to stand, therefore they must be held up by artificial foundations of legislation, intimidation, regulation or controls of one sort or another, violence, and so forth. Man has to invent his policies and then invent justifications for them.And sooner or later, invent exceptions to the rules that don t work, and exceptions to the exceptions.

 

And when things simply don t work, they are tried all over again, and called new, or change, in order to gain the support of a na ve public. Which public is na ve, only because they are actively engaged in their lifestyles of unrighteousness.

 

And not only do you live within this world, but you can look in the mirror, and see full well that you were an active participant, and perhaps still are, in the unrighteousness s of the world.

 

Therefore, the wrath of fury, which is already on its way, as we saw in the previous verse, is at least in part, because of you.

 

God is the author of good.This world is constantly cruising through difficulties, not because of Gods policies, but because people ignore them.

 

Adam and Eve lived in the most beautiful garden, but sin entered into the picture and the garden was lost.

 

Solomon was strong on doctrine and the prosperity in Israel back then was vast. Silver was as common as the pebbles on the streets.

 

In the Millennium, prosperity will be unequalled in history, and it will last for the entire one-thousand years. But, at its end, Satan will be released and rebellion will ruin everything again.

 

Today we are all experiencing economic hardships, and it will either continue or change depending on the attitudes of the general public. Right now the attitude is anti-scripture.But no matter how the views of the vast majority of society, go, God has a plan for your specific life.

 

God can and will carry your burden through any and all worldly or personal circumstances. All you need do is be certain that you are in compliance with Gods will, and not the will of the rest of the world.

End Of Lesson

Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
