The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It                550
burglarized, 10 times more likely to be murdered and 208 times more likely to be robbed.”

America is simply a nation of sinners!
God's Call
God isn't calling a sinful and rebellious people who have embraced false teachings and
false religions to escape his judgment. God is calling his people to repentance, to accept the
sacrifice of His son Jesus Christ, to separate themselves from the sin, rebellion and the false
religions of Babylon; he is calling us to be righteous and holy. If we do these things we can
escape the coming judgment of God.
The Law Is Good And Holy
“[T]he law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” (Romans 7:12)
2051
The law is meant to protect us. None of us want to be murdered, we don't want to be beaten, we
don't want to be burglarized, we don't want to be lied to and cheated, we don't want our children
sexually abused, we don't want our wives or husbands stolen and we don't want our families
broken up.
Our loving Father gave us the law to protect us not to restrict us. We all want love, health
and happiness. These are destroyed through breaking the law. Our Father in heaven gave us the
law because of the sinful nature we inherited from Adam and Eve. This sinful nature keeps us
from discerning between good and evil. The Apostle Paul writes: “the law is not made for a
righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners.” (1 Titus 1:9)
We don't naturally see what is wrong with the occult, other religions, and homosexuality so the
law tells us. Once the law has informed us of our sin, we can confess our sin, repent, and stop
sinning. Our heavenly Father offers us grace and mercy through His Son Jesus Christ; He
forgives our sins. Through this forgiveness, grace and mercy, we can avoid the consequences of
our sins which is everlasting damnation. Paul further writes:
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known
sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt
not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all
manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive
without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. For
sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was
then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might
appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the
commandment might become exceeding sinful. (Romans 7:7-13).
The law that was meant to protect us condemns us because we have failed to keep it. But
in its goodness, it shows us that we have been condemned and are in need of a Saviour, “For all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) “The soul that sinneth, it shall
