John 1:1-5, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. 4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Why are some led astray? We’re put here on this earth to be tested. If we pass the test God sets before us we will return to Him and remain angels glorifying Him forever. The true test of anyone’s character isn’t through the good times, it’s the hardship, the grief, the rejection, and sometimes the loneliness. This is why our tests often bring hardship, now how we deal with this hardship is important.
People can either turn toward God in times of distress or away from God. If you turn to God when your life seems to be falling apart, He holds you up and comforts you. But if you turn away, and start to doubt Him or blame Him. He gives you space to repent and ask forgiveness, But when you don’t; you just keep getting farther away from the Lord.
For this cause the Lord has spoken, “So be it, Because you have forsaken Me, I will forsake you also. [Giving you over to your own imagination.] Because you have hated Me, I will hate you also. Because you have been ashamed of Me, I will be ashamed of you also. Because you have judged Me, I will judge you also. Repent therefore and turn from your folly.” Seek the Lord while He may be found. For His judgment comes nigh unto you.
Matthew 10:27, What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
