It is very clear that we are in the last days. And these last days, according to the Scriptures, are very dangerous days. (Cf. 2Tim 3:1) They are days that are characterised by shortage of love and surplus of wickedness. They are days of overflowing with deception and abundance of corruption. (Cf. Matt 24:12, 2Tim 3:13)
Nevertheless, we can enjoy God’s overflowing favour in these terrible days. Indeed we need to enjoy His overflowing favour, if we must walk triumphantly in the face of all the evils and corruption of these days. And without His favour, all our efforts towards righteous and upright living can only end in frustration.
