The world's biggest problem is its rejection and denial of the truth of the Lord Jesus the Christ who came among us and died for all of our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day, according to the scriptures. As prophesy shows, man is his own worst problem. From the beginning, when Adam and Eve willed to be disobedient to God, the cycle of sin started that continues to this day. The depravity of mankind causes him to continually reject the only salvation that he has which is faith in Christ and the higher creator our God. All of the facts of true history and prophesy point to this conclusion. But, because man wants to live in darkness and reject authority over himself, he refuses to even investigate the possibilities of a savior. Many talk about the need of Christians to open their minds. I believe it is the unbelieving word that possibly needs to open its mind and heart to accept that there is a God who loves every man, woman, boy, girl, but does not love their sin, but has mad a way to escape the due penalty of sin. The way of escape is faith in the Son, the Son of God, Jesus the Christ, Messiah, Deliverer.
So, mankind looks at the things of this world and worries that the world may end through some catastrophe. I part that is true. It is true for those who do not put their trust in the Son of God. For those who have, we know that man's end will be because of man's own will. His will to reject or accept God and His word and promises. All of the bad and evil that we see around us is the result of man's sin. God's word states that we deserve death as the consequence of our sin. Almost every religion and cult in the world knows this. That is why they are always trying to make atonement. However, all that we have is not good enough to make up for our sin. Even the Jewish sacrifices or doves and lambs were not good enough. And many in the past thought that if they could keep the Law (commandments), that would give them favor before God. But, no man was able to keep the Law until the one who knew no sin came and dwelt among us. It took a perfect sacrifice. The only perfect man that has ever existed in Jesus the Christ. Who gave His life, that we may live (eternally) with God.
But don't take my word for it! I welcome all men to truly investigate these facts for themselves. No man can force a belief on another. If so, there is no faith. One must come to believe on his own by digesting the facts with his mind and then allowing those facts in the mind to penetrate his heart. Faith is not blind nor ignorant. Faith in something must have substance and facts to back them up. Else it is just a theory.
Peace and blessing be with all who read this.
