No Compromise With Sin

Michael D. Rourke Events 0 0

There is no discussion with sin or no ‘just noticing’ the invasion of our time and thoughts by that which offends God in any way. See it, live in the initial awareness of the battle and resist. James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Ephesians 6:10-13 … be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil.12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Experience in failure to Stand Firm, has taught and keeps teaching the bitter lesson of complacency, during life’s constant spiritual warfare. 1 Peter 5:8 Be [a]sober, be [b]vigilant; [c]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Keep in mind there are God’s angels fighting devils, ‘hosts of wickedness’ as we meander through the day. Jesus won the war and with Him we fight battles until He returns.

Failure to be aware can lead to being overrun with the temptation. Failure matures a true hatred for sin. Every true Christian should accumulate hatred for sin.

Well after the attack on our thoughts, we are able to look back at the skirmish seeing how we utilized God’s Word in victory or not. Either we succumbed to the temptation or we stood firm in Christ and passed the test. Still watch, in readiness, there is often a down following an up.

2 Corinthians 10:13 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Give thanks to God, as the sanctification (being made holy) process is sure and constant, until the rapture takes us home. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Keep the Word of God, the Sword of the Spirit, nearby at all times. Know you are God’s by His grace through faith in Jesus. Trust in hope, believe the truth of the Bible, our home in heaven is just ahead and closer every day.

Jesus taught John 10:27-30 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.”
