God is not a stone idol. He sees, hears and speaks. He looks upon the good and the bad done on Earth. Like He saw the evil in Noah’s time, He sees the wickedness in present times as well. Jesus said His return will happen in days similar to those of Noah (Matthew 24:37).

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth.

Genesis 6:5

Everyone sins and falls short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23), so He provided the gift of righteousness in Christ (Ephesians 2:4-6). Those who put their trust in Jesus are forgiven, cleansed, and have the hope of eternal life (Acts 10:43, I John 1:9, John 3:16). Yet everyone’s actions will be judged; though their works may perish, their souls will live.

The word “sin” is rarely used now because so much of what the Bible describes as sin has become acceptable and even encouraged. Pray for God to have mercy on this nation and to cause a great spiritual revival among this country’s citizens and leaders. Then thank God for your salvation and set your heart to do the good works He has called you to do (Ephesians 2:10).
