Signs in the Spiritual/Religious Realm

Here’s the twist in Jesus’ prophecy that would have shocked the disciples: The greatest threat to authentic faith in the end times won’t come from atheistic governments or pagan philosophies. It will come from people using Jesus’ name while abandoning His love.

Yet amid this spiritual chaos, Jesus said something unprecedented and beautiful would also happen. The authentic Gospel of the kingdom, rooted in sacrificial love, would spread faster and farther than ever before in human history. These two developments—counterfeit, loveless religion and the spread of the true Gospel—create the perfect storm of spiritual crisis. Genuine, love-centred Christianity and loveless religious deception will escalate simultaneously. And here’s the spoiler alert: Love wins.
