- A) the grace on people shall diminish
- B) the love of people shall increase
- C) people's sense of modesty shall leave
- D) the love of many shall wax cool
Correct Answer: D) the love of many shall wax cool
Explanation
This question is asking about what Jesus said would happen when there is an increase in sin. According to the options given, we are to select the option that Jesus said would happen.
Jesus said that when iniquity (sin) increases, the love of many shall wax cold. This means that people's love for one another will reduce because of the increase in sin. It is important to note that Jesus did not say that the grace on people shall diminish, the love of people shall increase, or people's sense of modesty shall leave. The correct answer is option D, the love of many shall wax cool.
This teaching from Jesus is a reminder that as Christians, we must strive to love others even in the midst of sin and wickedness. We should not allow the sin of others to affect our love for them, but instead, we should show them the love of Christ.
It is also important to note that Jesus' words in this passage can be found in Matthew 24:12, where He was talking about the signs of His second coming. Therefore, as Christians, we should always be ready for the return of Christ and continue to love others as Christ loved us.
