Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, Jude 1.24

From the moment we accepted Jesus as Savior, Hell began temptations to take us out of our position in Christ. We need to be vigilant not to fall into temptation, for the price under the devil’s rule is very high. Why leave God’s hands if with Him we are kept from all evil? Moreover, enjoying His love and His consideration – that’s all a man needs to live free from the trouble maker (1 John 5.18).

Satan envies us, because he knows that because we are children of God, we will participate of the tremendous glory of the Father in eternity (Hebrews 3.14). Because of this and other good things that await us in our walk with the Lord, we should never pay attention to what the evil one shows us. After all, his maneuvers are only snares to trap us in his clutches (John 8.44). So, we must never disobey God’s commandments.

Don’t fall for the tale of evil, wanting to know what God condemns. If you do, the same thing that happened to Eve will happen to you. She wanted to see if the fruit was good to eat, and she saw it the way the devil showed her. To her, the fruit was pleasing to the eye and desirable to give understanding. So, she ate it (Genesis 3.4-6). In the same way, the enemy manages to get curious people to see something suggested by him, and when they go check it out- they attach themselves to him. Poor ones!

Adam wasn’t seduced by the serpent, but sinned deliberately. Result: the blame for sin was placed on him: And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression (1 Timothy 2.14). Whoever is deceived by the adversary is in a state of turpitude and no longer knows how to act, because he has been seduced by lies. The Lord will keep him!

Being a Christian, you are part of the New Covenant; therefore, you must trust God with your life. Every time you are tempted, you don’t want to check such an offer, because sin exerts a strong attraction on the human being and you will end up accepting the evil offer. You will be so influenced that you will believe that certain things aren’t as bad or harmful as they say. Return to the arms of Jesus, so that you will not be condemned to perdition.

It is good to believe in the Lord, who sent His Son to die in our place and grant us salvation. Whoever believes in God’s Word escapes the works of darkness and keeps away from them. Unfortunately, the worst possible thing will happen to those who don’t believe in God, for they have become servants of the destroyer. It is better to take shelter under the wings of the Most High (Psalm 91.1-4)!

I want to see God Himself present me blameless, with joy, before His glory. I will feel immense satisfaction, for this is more than I could ever earn. Hallelujah! It is necessary to have good conduct always, so as not to fall nor suffer loss on the Day of His coming. He loves you!

In Christ, with love,
