Abuse of the Universe - A Pandemic Perspective!

  

We are all familiar with the slogan, “Make this world a better place to live in!”. We would agree that it takes not only an individual but also the society, to make this happen. Googling on this topic, we would find many sites giving tips on making the Earth a better and a safer place for human existence. Various areas of study are covered like ecological, environmental, social and philanthropical to make this dream a reality. However, what's missing is the heart issue, which is key to why one should make earth a better place and why we need each other. People selfishly bother only about them and their family, totally ignoring the larger society.

Abuse’ usually is referred in the context of one becoming a victim of verbal, physical, domestic, emotional or sexual. But I feel all the scamsters, terrorists, murderers, rapists who flee a particular country squandering of its wealth or taking lives of people find refuge in another country and use it as their hideout. To me this is also a form of abuse. They are clever enough to convince the nation of refuge to protect them and overlook their crime. I would like to call this as "Abuse of the Universe".

Being witness to all of this, would you agree with me that Pandemic is God's judgement on us humans? They may have tricked governments and laws and gone scot free but can they escape the Pandemic. The virus can enter their hideout and kill them. Now, that's the power of God.

God of the Bible addresses the problem of sin which has infected the entire human race and defiled it. But we humans live unconcerned of our guilt as long it doesn't affect our security. The selfishness of humans is incomprehensible. Vaccination for Corona may be found, but what about the human debauchery and human wretchedness? Is there a way out? Even in this pandemic there are people who look for opportunities to rob, loot and cheat people. There is no vaccination to clean our heart from the sin problem. The Bible says, "The wages of sin is death.".

Religious rituals can never transform someone to be a better person. We need a God who changes our heart and life, transforming us to love and respect others. Almighty God set an amazing example of love by making the biggest sacrifice on the cross of Calvary for mankind, so that we can receive forgiveness for our sins and receive salvation. Forgiveness from all sins happens not in a place or in doing something to achieve it, but in a person, who died for the sins of entire mankind. Once we receive forgiveness for our sins, through His power we will be filled in our hearts with love and respect for people, which overflows even to the universe God created for us. Human transformation is one of the greatest miracles that can happen to someone.  A pure heart and a clean soul can fight any negative vibes and join hands with the fellow citizens to spread God's love and impact the universe, positively.
