"We are instructed to turn from Godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in THIS EVIL WORLD with wisdom, righteousness and devotion to God!"
Is there any question in your mind that the world we live in is evil? The evidence of evil abounds and surrounds us and in some cases overwhelms us. The One Truth Today gives us instruction about what God expects us to do. Turn from Godless living and sinful pleasures. Flee from the devil and he will part from you. Seek wisdom and righteousness. The beginning of wisdom is the fear and knowledge of God. If you want wisdom make GOD first in your life. Righteousness will come as you become more like Jesus and come closer to God. It will be in direct proportion to your devotion to God. Turn from the lusts and evil of this world and focus instead on the life to come! Learn self control and devotion to God and His Word! Never forget that you live in THIS EVIL WORLD!
When the Grace of God came into your life and you were Saved from your sin, you received the Lord's unmerited favor and His blessings on your life. Not just this life in THIS EVIL WORLD, but in the eternal life to come. You were Saved and delivered from your sins. You have the Holy Spirit to help you reject and renounce the evil of this world. Grace allows us to live discrete lives of self control and spiritual morality. We are no longer of this world and that is why we remain upright and devoted to the Lord who Saved us. The Word of God is our instruction and manual for life. We know the Truth and the Truth will set us free!
All of us are waiting anxiously for the return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is our Messiah, the Anointed One and He is with us all the time in Spirit. We will be with him in our new body with our saved soul forever. This life here on earth is fleeting and only an instant in the eternal perspective. We are advised not to become to attached to this world, keep you eyes on heaven. No one should be attached to this sinful world and its lustful pleasures if they have the Lord in their heart. You are a new creature with a new perspective. Devote your life to God and turn from your prior Godless living and sinful ways. You have been Saved from this
EVIL WORLD!
