Have you ever taken the time to figure out what the world would be like without Jesus Christ? The years are numbered in accordance to time before HIS birth (BC), and after HIS birth (AD). Forget about Christmas with its festive atmosphere, caroling, goodwill, gift giving, and promise of peace on earth. Easter would be gone as well. Forgiveness? There would be none forthcoming. All mankind would be condemned. How about the church? It would not exist. There would be no hymns, no Bible preaching, no singing, no altar calls, no conversions, no youth programs, no Christian Schools, no Bible Colleges, (many secular colleges that were started by Christians wouldn’t exist either), no Theological Seminaries, no evangelistic teams, no missionaries, no Christian radio stations broadcasting the gospel, no Christian books, magazines or newspapers, no Gospel tracts, no way to expose false religion, NO CONFLICT WITH SATAN, he would control it all. Merciful people would be scarce, ruthlessness, and violence would abound. Godly influence and morality in business, government and religion would be non-existent. Children would be raised without natural affection or respect for Holy things, the family structure would suffer and be ripped apart, racial and ethnic hatred would spread even more, life would be cheap, and the future would be dark.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
John 9:5 KJV

We are seeing right now in America just what happens to a nation and also a world without Christ. What I mean by that is as America and the world goes farther away from the Lord Jesus Christ and His word in the Authorized King James Bible the more sin is accepted and the more ungodly society becomes with sodomy, transgenderism, fornication, abortion, adultery, divorce, corruption, drunkeness, drug use, lawlessness, strife, hatred, tattoos, piercings, paganism, and every other ungodly and immoral thing being the norm. Psalm 9:17 perfectly describes a world without Christ : The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. America is being turned into hell right before our eyes. Elections are stolen (2020 and 2022), illegal alien criminals flood in unhindered, our government from bottom to top is corrupt, and so are our judges, courts, schools, colleges, news media, and just about every other thing you can think of, and the sad thing is many “professing Christians” support much of the sin that is spoken of here. (Titus 1:16)
