Are You Ready to Know God?

God told us there would be a huge increase in unusual things and earthquakes, wars, and rumors of war.
Luke 21:11   (New International Version)
There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
What else will the last days look like?
2 Timothy 3:1-5   (New King James Version)
 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:  For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
Does the Bible really say that the penalty of sin is death?  Yes! Some translations say wages but it still means what is deserved as a result of sin.  

But Jesus took that penalty on Himself, and you can be saved by trusting in His perfect sacrifice.
Romans 6:23  (New International Version)
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
