The words ... In God we trust are everywhere. Even on American
currency. But that begs the question of, are the words in God we
trust in the Bible? Let’s go and find out together.
First ... I want to begin by saying that I am an American citizen and
have been all my life. I was always proud to call this my home. Of
course I am a sojourner in this world and my true home is Heaven as
it is for all Christians, but I kinda liked living in the ole USA. I
guess it was because I felt the United States of America represented
God. Why do I say that? Because, this was recited in every public
school classroom in the United States of America, every single
morning:
I present to you ... The American Pledge of Allegiance:
I pledge allegiance to the flag,
Of the United States of America,
And to the Republic, for which it stands,
One nation under God
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
If that makes you, fellow Americans, feel patriotic, try this one:
God Bless America
Land that I love,
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
From the Earth to the stars up above,
From the mountains,
To the valleys,
To the rivers,
White with foam,
God Bless America
My home sweet home,
God Bless America
My home sweet hoooooooooooome.
And then of course there’s that wonderful, little phrase that’s
printed on every single bit of American currency: In God We Trust. As
you can see, God used to be a vital part of the United States
of America, but things have changed ... But why? Let us look
within the Bible for the why we Trust in God Bible Verses truth ...
Nowadays, people trust in the teachings and trends of the world
instead of trusting in God and just as Paul predicted:
2 Timothy 3:1-5
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For
men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a
form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
We Trust in God Bible Forecast
Trust in God Bible Verses Tears and Fears
The rapidly deteriorating moral fiber of this once great country of
ours is escalating daily. Most try and blame this and that. But let’s
be real, the blame belongs to the people. Now some
will say, “no way man, it is the government”. But, I
say to you that the people did not stand up for the righteous cause but rather accepted it and carried on and this is
why it was allowed to happen.
Just as when the religious leaders wanted to kill Jesus and the
crowds stood by and allowed it to happen and were even con
-vinced into chanting “Crucify Him”. Pontius Pilate
gave them many opportunities to recant their con-viction of
their Savior but they chanted even more ... “Crucify Him”. Though it was prophecy that they would do so, it must have
broken God’s heart to have to foretell of those that He loved
so dearly weighed His price at a lousy 30 pieces of silver.
As with the people of that day, today’s generation seems to be
just as willing to not only accept the unrighteous trends but
also to promote them. They seem to be content with the modern
advances and how these advances put a few dollars in their pocket and
a big screen television in their living room so they can keep up with
the Jones’ ...
They have become accustomed to allowing this boob tube to train them
and their children on the slowly changing trends. They surrendered
their morals for a temporal cheap thrill. As years passed, they have
went from a country that had sitcoms like The Walton’s and
Little House on the Prairie and have somehow transformed our mind
that once accepted these wholesome shows as the norm to the
new trendy shows like Desperate Housewives, Queer eye for the for the
straight guy and let us not forget the daily soap operas which have
nothing but sexual content.
In God We Trust Bible Truth Loss
Well, “we have come a long way baby”. These shows
are only on the air because people watch them. So, the people have
chosen yet again and it is the responsibility of the people, to
say enough. But alas, this will not occur as prophecy
reveals that God knew that the people would choose these
trends.
You know it’s scary when nothing surprises you anymore, and
issues that 20 short years ago that were unspeakable, are now thought
of as normal, even expected. From the language, sexual topics and
nudity on our televisions to the acceptance of the 750,000 homeless
people on the streets on any given night, to our sons, daughters,
husbands, wives, friends and fellow Americans dying in Iraq daily.
Now do not get me wrong. I do not suggest the war in Iraq is either
right or wrong as I seek not to discuss political issues but rather
to point out that war and death have become such commonplace that we
have become immune to the tidings on the News report that says,
“Seventeen more die today in Iraq” ...
If you’re not from the good old U.S. of A., I’m not sure
if the same thing is occurring in your country, but I would venture
to say that it probably is. One extremely alarming thing about this
is that many Christians are falling into these traps of the devil,
right along with the rest of society ... I mean ask yourself whether
or not you are watching movies that your Father would not approve of.
It is that the worldly trends are very subtle. Such is the enemy’s
plan.
Peter alerts not to be tricked by the changing trends of the world:
2 Peter 3:17
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware
lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from
your own stedfastness.
In God We Trust?
Do we really? Are we trusting in God’s Word to live by, or do we choose our own selfishness? Do we claim ignorance so that we can continue living in our desires without guilt, just cuz everyone else is meanwhile feeling like we’re still worthy of calling ourselves Christians? Do we trust in what the world teaches because we believe more strongly in the theory that the majority rules instead of that the Lord rules? No wonder Jesus said:
Because few choose Him ... Most choose the world.
We Trust in God Bible Warning
Trust in God Bible Verses Danger
Let’s see now, in America, we don’t allow God in our schools any longer. The result is gangs, drugs and sex have overwhelmed the public school system. We don’t only have to worry about the children, but as we have seen on the news as of late. The teachers that we pay to teach our children are sexually molesting the children. And we ask why.
It appears that the Law has become to bend over backward for special interest groups that are offended by the mention of Christianity in any way, shape, or form, so the laws are amended to please them. One valedictorian was even reprimanded for thanking God for His hand in helping her to attain her achievement. And we claim that In God We trust, and that we’re One Nation Under God ... Amazing.
What on Earth would our “founding fathers” who created the law and intended this country to be ruled with God’s counsel
think of the new way? An even more important question ... What does our Heavenly Father think?
Isn’t it astounding that Christianity far outnumbers the groups that are initiating and implementing these changes, yet Christians don’t band together and fight for our rights. Instead, Christians just quietly sit back in the shadows as laws slowly change where one day, Christianity will be illegal. Sound impossible? This is prophecy in Scripture. The End Times brings on a time when a person will be killed for being a Christian;
Revelation 13:7
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations.
Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not
worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his
mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years.
It has already begun ... In many countries, Christians are being killed for their Faith. But, God knows the Truth of the Original Sin and how it became part of our ancestors curse upon us now. That is why He sacrificed His only begotten Son to offer us His Mercy and absolutely awe inspiring Grace. Repentance is the
answer. God will grant Grace if one sincerely repents.
I’d like you to read once again, the scripture that we
started off with:
2 Timothy 3:1-5
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For
men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a
form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
We Trust in God Bible Concerns
Trust in God Bible Verses Bring Hope
God knew that immorality would become the rule instead of the
exception, and He taught that even those souls from Sodom and
Gomorrah will have a better chance on judgment day than those who
refuse to accept the Truth which would bring forth God’s
Grace.
Luke 10:10-12
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your
ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of
your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you:
notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is come
nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable
in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Where does that leave the United States? The land that we love? I
regret to report that after an in depth study of End Times
prophecy that it reveals that almost every nation or region is
mentioned in the End Times. But, the United States of
America is not.
In God We Trust Bible Truth
There is however prophecy that says that ⅓ of the world is
destroyed. (Revelation 8:7-12)
These verses reveal that something from Heaven is cast to the Earth and that ⅓ of the earth is destroyed.
If one looks at a globe or atlas, they will find that if one circles on the globe or atlas all countries mentioned in the Bible prophecy as being in the End Times after the first few Trumpets in (
Revelation 8:7-12) That there is only one land mass large enough to be deemed as ⅓ of the earth. That area includes Mexico, Canada and ... The United States of America.
We Trust in God Bible Summary
Trust in God Bible Verses Conclusion
Pray for America, but rather that God’s will be done. If you have your tent pitched in America, remember how God delivered just Lot, who was vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations.
As with Lot, who lived in a place where they had discarded God and allowed fornication, homosexuality and violence to become commonplace. Expect to be vexed with the filth and to fight the good fight and reach and teach as many as you can before the time. Be prepared for the promised signs and be ready to depart quickly and remember what the angels told Lot and his family just before Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed for it’s sin ... Get out and do not look back.
But wait, what of the question at the beginning? Are the words “In God We Trust” in the Bible? The answer is that the, we trust in God Bible verses are actually everywhere in the Bible. The evidence is documented throughout the entire Bible as to why we should trust God. It is in the words and deeds of those who trusted our Heavenly Father before us.
In God we should trust.
