The Church doesn’t allow to be won by the world temptations, but sort out everything by Jesus’ love.
The Church always faces the enemy's machinations with boldness to make things work out (Proverbs 28.1):
1. The Church is not intimidated by the mockery, persecution, pressure, threats and even punishment of the wicked (Dan 3.17-21; 6.13-17). Nor does it kill individuals who do so. She remains confident, always praying, consecrating, evangelizing and living the gospel;
2. The Church does not sink in faith when the world seems about to collapse on its head. Rather, she always keeps her fidelity and good conscience (1 Tim. 1:19) instead of using the world's concepts and values to sort out predicaments;
3. The Church does not practice abomination, that is, it does not try to promote intrigue (as the Antichrist will do - Daniel 8.23) in order to achieve privileges and resources, nor does it try to be superior to others;
4. The Church does not fornicate with other gods, nor does it attempt to resolve her marital and sexual problems with someone who was not chosen by the Creator to be their spouse. She does not try to indulge her flesh without assuming an alliance with this individual in the presence of the Creator;
5. The Church does not try to violate the Creator with "Christian witchcraft", namely, by practicing rituals that aim to convince (and even compel) Him to do what she wants. Rather, she seeks to know the will of the Creator and submit to it.
6. The Church does not idolize, that is, she does not trust the powerful and the powers of this world to sort out her problems (Ps 20.7; 147.10.11). Jesus is His only Lord, Savior and Treasure (Gen. 15.1).
7. The Church does not practice lying, that is, it never tries to deceive someone to get rid of a difficult and embarrassing situation, let alone she bilk the other out of what is rightfully theirs. Rather, she always tells the truth, even though she knows that she can be importuned, harassed or punished.
May Jesus enable us to live as the Bride of the "Lamb", that is, a worthy helper of the One who is meek and humble of heart (Mt 11.28-30).
- “He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. 8 But for the cowardly and [d]unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and [e]brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21.7,8).
