Since the very beginning, we don’t even know how long ago that was, believers, the church has devolved into extreme wickedness. God has always closed off vastated churches and has raised up new churches over and over with those who did not do evil. Human nature has never improved enough for all humans to cease doing evil. Hell is still filled with all of them and they do influence people here who accept evil and do evil. Yet God has always raised a new church with a core of the good, and when Jesus was born a man that was necessary to ensure the connection between earth and Heaven. He knows what He is doing by expanding His church to the entire world, not just to a certain group. His Love is truly all we need and we can lean into Him to feel it again and again. If we truly trust Him our anxieties are calmed. There are significant reasons for our suffering and huge rewards afterwards. Peace be with you is His message to us in the storm.
