Reasons Why People Perish
Powered by Restream Surely, ever since the fall of man; man has entered into the mood of stagnation, suffering and death both physically and spiritually. Obviously, the cause of such conditions is expressed explicitly throughout the scriptures and that is the failure of man to actualize and acted upon the mandate that God gave unto him. Naturally, the passages before us further reveal the rootlessness and rebelliousness of the people toward the concept of doing that which God commands and expects of them. Note carefully that rebelliousness always leads to retribution. On a number occasions the Lord through His word indicated to man how to avoid the deluge of distress and destruction and one of those are seen in this famous passage in the Old Testament; 2 Chron. 7: 14, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
