Sin...
Sin is all around us and yes, even still within us. Trying, seeking to push us towards the side of the devil. I'm still a little strange at mentioning the devil at times even to write it. I spent so many years denying that he even existed, that evil only came from people and not some other being that had once been so close to God. It's been a definite mind shift for me, like several other things. Like getting rid of old rituals, I had thought for a while that some of the celebrations that I used to celebrate could be incorporated into a Christian life, but then I've come to realize that if I am letting God make me new, then that means all of that has to go.
Like it says in Hebrews 10 22:25
We should draw boldly nearer to God which only became possible after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
We should hold hope, be faithful to God. Do not hold on to old rituals of the former self. That can lead you to stray back to the easy ways.
We should work together and with each other and for each other, always encouraging one another and ALWAYS LOVING one another as we are commanded to do.
Remember God will never forsake us and it is impossible for him to lie, so the rewards and blessings that he has promised us through his word will one day be ours, only in his time, when we are ready to receive them.
