A few days ago I was under the impression that the person I am with has been cheating on me. Found glitter in the sink when there is no glitter to be found in our place. I am Gods daughter and I try to live for him all day long every day but at that moment I struggled with the fleshy side of me and thoughts were going through my mind that two could play this game (yes wrong I know) I had two guys come into where I was working and invite me back to their cabin to "play" I declined without a seconds hesitation but the idea kept coming around tempting me with thoughts similar to those thoughts tempting me to go down a road that wasn't the road my King would have me on and how I would be justified to do so. (devil working his hardest to get one of Gods children to fall) The next day when I got on facebook this was the very first thing on my page for me to read. I call it my God speaking to my heart and once you read it I'm sure you will to.
JESUS IS LORD The Way, The Truth, The Life
SIN IS LAWLESSNESSWhoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 1 John 3:4
It is a dangerous thing to live your life without a spiritual “plumb line,” or standard, by which you determine right from wrong. God’s Word is that plumb line. Spiritual laws, like physical laws, are meant to protect you, not restrict you.
You may exercise your freedom to challenge the laws of electricity, but to do so can bring you death. Likewise, you will not break God’s laws, they will break you. God established absolute moral and spiritual laws that we are free to ignore, but we do so at our own peril. These laws are timeless. Culture does not supersede them. Circumstances do not abrogate them. God’s laws are eternal, and they will save you from death if you follow them. You may feel that God’s laws restrict and bind you. On the contrary, God’s Word protects you from death (Rom. 6:23).
For example, when God said that you are not to commit adultery, He wanted to free you to experience the fullest pleasure of a marriage relationship. Furthermore, He knew the devastating heartache that would come to you, your spouse, your children, your relatives, your friends, and your church family if you broke this law. How important the laws of God are for your life! Without them, you would be robbed of the delights God has in store for you. Sin is choosing a standard other than God’s law on which to base your life. If you are measuring your life by that of your neighbors, or society at large, then you are basing your life on lawlessness, and lawlessness is sin.
