The document discusses two viruses: COVID-19 and the "Human Condition (THC) Virus", which refers to humanity's inherent sinfulness. It argues that the THC Virus is 100% lethal and already a part of all people. However, it says the good news is that through Jesus Christ, believers can obtain an imperishable, undefiled inheritance in heaven despite this brokenness. It encourages readers to use the current pandemic as an opportunity to re-examine their faith and conduct, and to place their hope fully in God's grace through Jesus.

1. Worse Than COVID-19.
Better Than You Think.

2. What is worse than severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV- 2), or COVID-19?
The Human Condition

3. The Human Condition is not just sin, but
the state of being in sin. King David wrote it
well:
Psalms 51 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David,
when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had
gone in to Bathsheba.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.

4. The Human Condition (THC) Virus is…

5. The THC Virus is…
-100% lethal
-already a part of you.

6. -Because of this virus, we will perish.
-Because of the human condition, we are
defiled. Unclean.
The pandemic only exposes peoples hearts.
Consider the people who would buy up all the
alcohol and sanitizer, some for themselves but
others hoping to make a profit on later by selling
at high prices. And we read that in the news and
we judge them, and find ourselves better.

7. –Apostle Paul
“And do you think, O man, you who judge
those practicing such things, and doing
the same, that you will escape the
judgment of God?”

8. -Because of this brokenness in us, we fade.
Even if we survive to experience the beautiful
skies over Metro Manila, as life continues our
eyesight will wither, our hearing will fade. We
may escape this pandemic, but there comes a
point where we too, like the grass and the flower
wither and fade.

9. -Because of this virus, we will perish.
-Because of the human condition, we
are defiled.
-Because of this brokenness in us,
we fade.
But the Good News is…

10. –1 Peter 1:3-4
“Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great
mercy, he has caused us to be born
again to a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead, to an inheritance that is
imperishable, undefiled, and unfading,
kept in heaven for you…”

11. Wherever you are in this current pandemic, if
you are a frontliner who treats patients everyday,
or you are the one dying from COVID-19 or you
are quarantined to your home, Peter is talking in
conditions similar to yours.

12. Do you truly have this inheritance?

13. There’s a Test Kit for that

14. The Test Kit
-Even now, do you rejoice?
“In this you rejoice, though now for a little while,
if necessary, you have been grieved by various
trials, so that the tested genuineness of your
faith—more precious than gold that perishes
though it is tested by fire—may be found to
result in praise and glory and honor at the
revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:6-7

15. The Test Kit
-Even now, do you love Christ Jesus?
Though you have not seen him, you love him.
Though you do not now see him, you believe in
him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and
filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your
faith, the salvation of your souls.

16. Don’t Waste Your Pandemic!
If this would be over, would we also be over with the
Lord? I pray instead that you will learn to rejoice and
love the person of Jesus more whatever the future hold.
See that the old systems can so easily disappear, and we
need to invest into a system that never will. If you never
have done that until today, it is still available. Come to
Jesus!

17. What To Do If Found Positive:
Think Upward
“Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-
minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to
you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not
be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as
he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,
since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:13-
15
Guiding Question: If you were to meet Jesus in person today,
would your conduct and lifestyle meet with his approval?

18. What To Do If Positive
-Think Upward #SystemsOverhaul. #ChangeYourOS
-Think Outward.
“Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a
sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure
heart, since you have been born again, not of perishable seed
but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;”
In my conduct and lifestyle, would people want to meet my Jesus
today?

19. In Conclusion
You have something worse than COVID-19,
your broken humanity. But through Christ is the
cure: an inheritance that is undying, clean and
eternal. And this inheritance is freely available
for all. May we be part of the solution to the THC
pandemic.
