There are people in this world who like to deconstruct the works of good and like to cause harm to other people causing pain and sorrow by doing evil things. If you pay attention it’s easy to see. It’s all around us. They prefer darkness to light and are in a constant battle with the light of the world. If you read the Bible you can see everything It taught is happening or has happened.
These things are written on the pages of the Bible.
Jesus is a known harbinger of the values of the eternal kingdom. And the values of the kingdom include peace, joy, meekness, gentleness, compassion, mercy, and truth. These are values the world does not possess, not appreciate. These are the values Jesus came to instill in people. I can not imagine people not wanting these things to be prominent in there lives.
This battle rages because of the fear people with worldly values are being exposed for their ugliness, and their bad behavior. The Bible tells us,
“For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, not anything secret that will not be known and come to light” -Luke 8:17
Some people are oblivious to the values of heaven. Therefore are ready to fight anyone who would dare expose them. It’s a whole lot easier to feed their flesh than it is to seek righteous living. They think they can reign in the world with absolute freedom doing all sorts of things. The end justifies the means for some people whereas if you go against the values of heaven they get praised for it.
God promised to reward us for how we serve Him on earth.
Truthfulness, compassion, love, kindness, meekness, and justice are values Jesus taught. These values are hard to be found in our world today.
Jesus warned His children that,
“A servant is not greater than His master (God). If they persecute me, they would persecute you too” – John 15:21
Jesus says that it would not be easy for His children to live by the values of heaven on earth. But to look to Him who is in the end will have justice. And that they would receive crowns for their good deeds.
