An unbiased study of the book of Genesis should convince anyone of the depravity of the unregenerate heart, and the desperate sinfulness of men when they are left to their own devices, without interference by God. The sin principle came into the soul of man as a result of the fall in the garden of Eden. No good works that man can do will remove it. The threatenings of neither God nor man will turn a sinner into a righteous man. No amount of good resolutions will avail to remove sin from the human soul will sin be removed from the soul of men.
Men are born in sin (see Psalm 51 : 5; Roman 3:23), and the righteousness of their parents will not give them salvation.
Righteousness cannot be passed on from parents to their children, but each individual must seek God's righteousness for himself. Righteousness did not avail for Noahs descendants when they refused to obtain such righteousness for themselves. Their refusal so seek God for themselves made them willing dupes for such an evil business as that of building a tower as a symbol of their own supposed self-sufficiency and might.
It is astounding that within a few short generations the people's of the earth should so lose their fear of God that they did not hesitate to join themselves in a work of defiance against God.
The Lord does not permit the world to go it's way without some restraint. If the Lord did not intervene in the affairs of men, the world would soon be totally given over unto sin and lawlessness.
May the men of this twenty-first century consider that the day is fast approaching when the world is again going to be joined in a common cause, under the leadership of evil genius of Satan. But God shall again confound the people's of the world as effectually as He did when He confounded the builders of the tower of Babel when He confused their speech.
JESUS said : "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me"( Matthew 10:37,38).
What actually brought about this lesson was that I found out that there are millions of people out there who doesn't believe in the second coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.To my surprise 95% are well educated while 50% out of this 95 are lawyers...
