Outside of Christ, everything is meaningless. Apart from him there is nothing but the dark void.

He will swallow up death forever. (Isaiah 25:8) When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15:54) The puritan Richard Sibbes:

“Sin is an acid that mars and destroys whatever it touches. The Lord is not being a killjoy by forbidding sin; he is being a loving Saviour.” Jay Sklar

Laws always reflect the values of the lawgiver.

"There is no real human knowing that doesn’t begin with knowing God. Omitting God from the way you understand the world is like an accountant ignoring a number in a column of figures he is calculating. No matter how accurately he has added the numbers in the column, his total at the bottom will always be wrong, because he has omitted an essential fact." --Paul Tripp

Wait, this is the crash? 😂

The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. (Acts 17:30) Advent starts soon. Christmas is coming. St. Paul told the Athenians that now, after the first Advent of Christ, there was no more excuse for groping-about in ignorance. Now, God has appointed Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. The Christmas season is a wonderful time for you to repent of your rebellion against a Holy God and receive his mercy.

Luke 15:13 “Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.” The experience of the wasteful son shows clearly that people who have wasted all that God has given them are welcome to return to him and to be accepted fully as his children.
