The devil tries to get us to be blind to compromise. To make us think that it is okay,
it�s a small compromise. The devil is a master at getting us to have our eyes blinded
to the truth. There are MANY compromises that the devil
can get us to compromise in; such as ***, thinking that it is okay to *** as long as
we are not physically having sex. Or that it�s okay to be prideful as long as you
know the truth. Or it�s okay to serve money as long as you
are giving 10% to God. Or it�s okay to associate with people who
are in sin as long as you don�t seem like you are condoning their sin.
He tries to make us believe that it is okay to compromise in our relationship with Jesus
and that if we just sin a little it will be okay,
we will still get to heaven. But this is what Jesus said in regards to this in Matthew chapter
16:24-28 �If anyone desires to come after Me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save
his life will LOSE IT, but whoever loses his life for MY sake will
find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son
of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels,
and then HE WILL REWARD EACH ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS! Assuredly, I say to you, there
are some standing here who shall not taste death
till they see the Son of Man coming in HIS Kingdom!� Each of us will be judged according
to our WORKS! And if our works were wicked, if we compromised with our relationship with
Jesus with sin, then we will not make it into the Kingdom of Heaven; we will NOT see the
Kingdom of Heaven. BUT if we live righteously, if we put sin
behind us, if we REPENT of sin, if we flee from the devil, if we resist the devil and
run to Jesus, then GOD draws close to us. He will protect
us and keep us from our feet slipping into the holes that the devil has placed in front
of us. But we cannot compromise. Many Christians
compromises! They don�t THINK they are selling their
soul to Satan but they ARE because they are compromising.
We cannot compromise whatsoever, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus and seek after HIM with
all our heart, soul and might! Are you doing this? Are your eyes fixed on
Jesus? Or are you compromising today? May the grace of Jesus be with you.
