God created the universe, filled it with all kinds of living creatures and made a law that would ensure a perfect equilibrium in the ecosystem. He made man and endowed him with the responsibility of supervising the proper functioning of this system. On the contrary, man in his cleverness has drastically attended all the laws that govern the universe to suit his own selfish desires. Man\u2019s self-indulgence, arrogance. His so called intelligence has made him mishandle and exploit nature and its resources. Because of His nature, not only the environment but man himself has gone through numerous adversities and global complications. Man has gone to\u00a0\u00a0 much an extent in disrupting the laws of the universe that the Nature itself started retaliating to man\u2019s cunningness in the form of global warming, earthquakes, famines, floods etc. Darwin\u2019s theory of \u201cSurvival of the Fittest\u201d applies appropriately to Nature\u2019s response to man; even though the evolution theory still stands as a hypothesis.<\/p>\n

Man should fulfill God\u2019s purpose by maintaining a harmonious order in the natural world. In failing to do so, man has invited all kinds of discrepancies. There are multiple reasons behind man\u2019s such heartless nature. Selfishness and arrogance stands out as the primary reasons. To add to it, the rapid urbanization, inflation, advancement of science and technology gives a boost to man\u2019s selfish nature. All this made man the most insensitive and egoistical creature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today in the society we witness how relationship, moral values and ethics have become non- essential. Nuclear families, old age homes, live-in relationships etc are encouraged. Depression and suicides have become quite common in the postmodern life style. Man is controlled by gadgets and social media. As a result there has been a serious deficiency of morality and humanity. Money has become the master of many and has drained out all emotions, feelings of love and compassion.\u00a0 A new morality called \u201cNo Morality\u201d has cropped up and has become the slogan of the modern era. Technology has been often misused to abuse mankind. Spirituality has taken a backrest and has become a matter of shame for the unrent generation. Religion that should be a binding agent has divided the people. What is more devastating is the declining of moral values and ethics. The collapse of religion and spirituality will be more appealing for the future generation. The biblical principle; whatever a man sows, so shall he reap is apt for the current scenario.<\/p>\n

The Bible does not demand to be mere spectators and endure such moral negligence but diverge from the prevalent immorality and corruption. Biblical principles always let the believer to be more humane and humble than haughty. Bible teaches to be more empathetic to each other than sarcastic. Bible influences the believers to be more loving than aggressive.<\/p>\n

This article is an eye opener for the readers to realize the faulty trends of the post-modern society and return back to the original purpose of God\u2019s creation of man. God created man in His image to reflect Him in and through the life on earth. The qualities of God such as love, compassion, mercy, humility and justice etc must be seen in and through the daily life on earth. The power of reasoning must be used not for the destruction of society but to build a society that would bear the image of God.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the communist socialism but an empathetic socialism that can heal the society of much of its evils. Each of us must be empathetic towards each other and care for other\u2019s welfare in family, society and even between nations. The unique teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ is \u201cLove\u201d. Jesus said, \u201cLove your neighbor\u201d, and \u201cLove your enemies\u201d this must be followed by everyone to create a better society for tomorrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our resolution must not be how to make more money but how to make my next generation more loving and caring where they would learn to live and create a better society.<\/p>\n
