Corruption
So what is corruption?
Let me offer a definition for you as follows:
Sin is disobedience to God ; Corruption is the Multiplicity of sin!
Let's tip the iceberg on this:
The 10 commandments:
Exodus 20 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
20 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
Clearly verse 1-6 says worship God alone, not the Saints, not the angels, not any other human or animal. Witchcraft and worshiping other deities is STRICTLY forbidden. Satan is very deceiving. He wants you to rebel and turn away from God's goodness and purity. Only worship God the Father, Jesus his Son and let the Holy Spirit Guide you and his mercies shall be given for generations to come.
Verse 7 basically says never swear i.e. do not be profane.
Verse 8 to 11 calls for a day of rest! works 6 days and go worship on the 7th.
Verse 12 Honour your parents / family.
Verse 13 Do not kill or murder.
Verse 14 Do not commit adultery - A big one! Today the adultery industry - pornography , pseudoerotica, disregard for purity / immoral sexuality , infidelity is causing no end of grief.
Verse 15 - Do not steal
Verse 16 - No lying! If you really want to be an Honest - Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Verse 17 - Do not envy what others have
You ask what does this have to do with corruption? I say everything. EVERYTHING!!
Because of the decedent amoral path that we as a society has taking , corruption grows and we are losing focus.
Think about it! From your household to your neighbour to your national government, do you accept the lies, the dishonesty,
the distrust , the ill-feelings that are growing? This is corruption!!
The only way to turn from corruption is to repent of it, to turn away from it!
The next part deals with personal Salvation for Eternal Life!
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
That is only way!
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
John 10:28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 3:16 -17
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
If you want eternal salvation just pray:
Lord Jesus I am Sinner who wants to turns from my evil ways; Lord Jesus I ask you to give me eternal life;
Lord Jesus I want to come home knowing that my Salvation is assured in your hands and that my Name is in the book of Life.
