Be Careful then How you Live

6 "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.”Matthew 18:6-9



Jesus is very clear here and does not mince words when He tells you and me as His children not to mess with the sin of this world. You see, making a compromise to dabble just a bit into the evil things of this world that are apart from the goodness and holiness and new life that we have found in Jesus Christ could no doubt cause you and I or even others to stumble as they look on and watch us live the life. Now, please don’t misunderstand, there is grace that covers you when you sin, however, along with sin comes consequences and the consequences that come are not what your loving creator of this world would want for your life. God wants only the very best for you; He wants you to enjoy this life as you live out your purpose for His glory all the while soaking in the incredible love that He has for you. Sin will undoubtedly deter you, sometimes for years, from living an incredible life in Christ, so please be careful today about how you live. Look to God for His direction and His guidance as you make decisions today for only He knows what’s best and only He can keep you from harm as you live your life for Him!
