Colossians 3:16-17: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (ESV – all emphasis mine).
Galatians 3:28-29: “There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; there is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.”
Galatians 6:2: “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 12:26-27: “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.”
The trend today is everyone for self-satisfaction. Anyone who tries to spread the Word of the Lord is called a “hater,” which is exactly what Jesus said would happen near the end of this era (Matthew 10:22).
In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Paul gives a fairly extensive list of what attitudes and actions would be taking place near the end of this era: “But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
Out of all that Paul declared would be happening in these last days, the very last sentence says it all: “Avoid such people.”
