One Solitary Righteous Man - Is Not Enough!
Consider the fact that God destroyed immorality twice, with the flood and also with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, while leaving behind one solitary righteous man each time. And immorality still returned to entice mankind into a lifestyle of slavery to wickedness and sin. Sin is sin, and not a harmless biological impulse that we are free to indulge with impunity.
Ephesians 6:10-18
New International Version (NIV)
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Thankfully Jesus Christ (God become man) was not only one solitary righteous man but one solitary sinless man as well!
John 18:36 – Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.”
To ensure that you are part of Jesus Christ's kingdom thereby gaining an eternal existence with him in heaven just believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
God Bless

And I praise the Lord along with you. Boy, when Jesus returns the second time He, that solitary God/Man will finally be enough. Thank you for the reminder, my friend.
