This is the topic, which some people will not even to bother. But isn't it true that moral decay had brought us many sufferings, troubles, and inconvenience. Yes it is. Why people bother to spend so much to war? For personal selfish gain; why people bother to kill people? For various selfish gains also; why people go and abort baby? (by the way, there are 115,300 babies being aborted per year. This is not the latest statistic) It's also because of selfishness's sake. Moral decay is a big issues. It's a result of sin, and sin kills. "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23)
In Bible, there is a solution for this issue.
By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature. (2 Pet 1:4 Amp)
The Bible said, we can escape from the moral decay and become sharers of God's divine nature through God's precious and great promises. Interestingly, our education system had become more and more advanced, more and more psychologists are produced, more and more people started to try religious meditations and some even practice self punished disciplinary. But none of it actually helps. It doesn't solve the roots. But in the Bible, God provides us a easier and simpler way which is to embrace His promises. There are 3,000 over promises stated in the Bible which is concerning our well being, necessary goods, spiritual prosperity, freedom from fear and sin, and our eternal future. One example: "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." (Romans 6:14) When we are in the grace (unmerited favor) of God, sin (which produces death) shall not have dominion over us. Isn't it great? I would say, even if you receive only half of the 3,000 promises, you are already reigning in life well enough! Moral decay got to say bye bye to you.
The only way to access into all the promises is to believe in Jesus, the one who loves us and had died for our sins (John 14:6). And the way to believe in Him is as easy as ABC. Below is a simple prayer you can make to accept Jesus into your life.
Congratulation! After you had Accept, Believe, and Confess that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour. You had registered yourself to be citizen in Heaven, God's beloved child, sharers of His divine nature, and heir of all the inheritance in Heaven. You can repeat the step A,B,C as often as you want, to reassure your position in Lord Jesus, in Heaven and in the world.
