Sin always promises to give you fun and enjoyment, but in reality, all it will give you is death, despair and destruction. Today, there are many voices that are saying that you can live any way you want to, and God loves you anyway. Yes, God loves you, but Jesus made it very clear! He says: “Go and sin no more.” Sin causes a separation between God and us. Job 28:28 reminds us on what we need to do: “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ” If we depart from evil, God will forgive us and cleanse us. It’s not enough to simply believe that God is real. The Apostle James once said: You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” (James 2:19) It’s not enough to simply believe. One must truly repent of their sins: “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,” (Acts 17:30). One must also have a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! ( “…Repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”(Acts 20:21 (b). Those who truly and humbly ask God for forgiveness, and receive the precious gift of salvation that the Lord Jesus gave us on the cross, will be saved. This is God’s promise. Don’t listen to the many voices out there that make empty promises. They cannot save or redeem you. They themselves are deceived and deluded. History shows that most of the time, the majority are wrong. The healthy fear (respect, reverence, honor) of the Lord is truly wisdom!
Job 28:28 “And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”
