When you look at what’s happening in the world, you see that all nations are gripped by anxiety, discontent, and frustration. In every society—whether it’s a dictatorship or a democracy, a left-wing or right-wing political regime—things are going from bad to worse. People feel that they are not truly represented by the government and those in power, and new crises are looming on the horizon, with no concrete solutions in sight.

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name? Did we not cast out demons in Your name? And did we not perform many miracles in Your name?’ Then I will declare to them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, all of you who practice lawlessness.’ Therefore, whoever hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. But anyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, the winds blew and beat against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

The Bible shows us that the devil is an angel created by God who fell and rebelled against God, becoming the source of evil. Although sin, suffering, and death exist because of the devil, God has a plan to redeem the world.

“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged. For with the judgment you use, you will be judged; and the measure you use will be used to measure you.” (Matthew 7:1–2). Jesus spoke these words in the context of the following verse: “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the log in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:3).
