Believer, there is no benefit that can be derived from living outside the will of God. What benefit can you get from sin?! What joy can you draw from it?! For you, regenerate man, who is under the ownership of the Lord of lords and the King of kings, worldly pleasures are no longer pleasures. They are deceiving, temporal and wickedly crafted bouts that take your mind away from eternal things. They bring disgust to the eyes of the heavens and pain in your life.
Stop sinning man of God, flee from temptation and offer your body wholly as a living sacrifice. Stand on His truth and believe in His overcoming power that triumphs over sin. You are no longer what you were before so do not put on the things that you wore before. Rather, put on Christ, because His image is what you are now. Though you have been an eaglet in a chicken farm, rise and fly as an eagle for that is what you really are! The Scripture says, you are the salt, you are the light and you are the branch. You are not like the salt, like the light or like the branch. You are the salt, the light and the branch. You are recreated in true righteousness, holiness and godliness. These are the Words of God so there is no reason for you to doubt.
Be sober at all times, calm, serious and unaddicted to the world and its vices. Free yourself from every snake wrapped around your body and every leech stuck in your flesh. Christ did not just die for you to atone for your sins. He also lived a perfect life for you so upon repentance, His righteousness is imputed in you. You are not only saved from hell but also saved from sin! So then, let us follow Him. Let us know Him. Let us seek Him. And let us live for Him until He bids as to come home. Amen.
