In a moment of weakness, we might feel like the only choice is to just give in. If you feel like you're going to be tempted, don't go near the sin. Don't think, "How close can I get to the fire without being burned?" Instead, run far away from it. We should desire to please God, and not ourselves.
There are many Christians that become outcasts because of their love for Christ. They are not accepted, they're being rejected, and labeled as Jesus freaks. Well, in our text today, we notice that it doesn't matter what they say. It doesn't matter what they do. As humans, it's normal to want to fit in. But, the path of the wicked leads to destruction. We must also remember not to compromise, because the road to Heaven won't get wider. Giving in to sin should not be an option. We need to know who we are in Christ.

You're right, in order to avoid being tempted don't go near the source of temptation! Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned? 9/18/2014 09:05:55 am
Definitely, there should be no room for compromise. God bless. Comments are closed.
