1/ My son, if you have sinned, do so no more, and for your past sins pray to be forgiven.
2/ Flee from sin as from a serpent. that will bite you if you go near it; Its teeth are lion's teeth, destroying the souls of men.
3/ Every offense is a two-edged sword; when it cuts, there can be no healing.
4/ Violence and arrogance wipe out wealth; so too a proud man's home is destroyed.
5/ Prayer from a poor man's lips is heard at once, and justice is quickly granted him.
6/ He who hates correction walks the sinner's path, but he who fears the LORD repents in his heart.
Personally, I do not 'get' how so many people are so comfortable with sin, I mean, many people are so SURE of salvation, they have, all but, forgotten their sins, and, some, even continue to commit them! Me, I am shaking in my booties, for, I FEAR the LORD, my *GOD*, fiercely, and, with great reason! Remember people, that ole' serpent, the deceiver, easily, convinced Eve, that, surely, *GOD* would not punish her for eating of the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Life; thus, it is safe to say, that, many of those who, are otherwise, trying to walk in the WAY, but, are smug in their assurance of salvation, despite their continuance in sin, even, repeating sins they know are wrong, have been influenced by Satan, whether the TRUTH of this is received, or not, until the day of reckoning...
I am fearful, though, I stand in HOPEFUL FAITH that I will be forgiven, I do NOT take it for granted, and, daily, TRY to align, more, and, more, to *GOD*, via, HIS WORD, thus, HIS instruction! There is LOTS of arguing going on between Christians about the need to exist in consciousness of our actions, but, the WORD, clearly, tells us to ALWAYS be AWAKE, and, AWARE, which, in part, is in place, to KEEP the evil deceiver, away from us, because, it does NOT take much, for him to infiltrate our beings, and, smug arrogance, in righteousness, provides a very easy way, for him to do so!!!
*GOD* has chosen HIS people, but, that does not mean that these people ARE, naturally, ready to exist in eternity, though, they WERE before evil entered the world! Listen, eternal life will be the evidence of purity, wholesomeness, goodness, and, all things right, so, it makes sense, at least to me, that many, who sway, falter, and, like to have it both ways, are not going to be welcomed, though, I pray that most of us will be! WHY would *GOD* want tainted souls in eternity? WHY would HE want to have to deal with this all over again? Once Satan, and, his affected, are gone, ALL EVIL, and, ALL WRONG, and, ALL NEGATIVES will be wiped out with him! Then, the FULL TRUTH OF *GOD*, and, LOVE, will exist, freely, without challenge of any sort!!!
Not only does fear keep me on the right course, but, devout LOVE for my *GOD*, as, HE has always been there for me, and, I feel indebted! Not only that I took 2 vows with HIM, which, CAUSE me to further my efforts, and, strengthen my spirit! I, have CONSIDERED the choices carefully, and, have CHOSEN to serve HIM, and, to live in as much righteousness, as is feasible, while I repent, daily, and, regret all my ignorance, falter, and, stupidity, of the past! I WANT to be with HIM, not trapped with evil! How TERRIBLE is that thought? Enough to scare me right to the straight, and, narrow path!!!
Some people don't believe in repenting daily, but, surely, even the most devout, do sin in any day! Don't forget, one slip of that wagging tongue, can bind you to sin, and, LORD knows, most of us are entrapped by this, alone! Think real hard about this, you will see that I am right! For instance, even though you TRY to live in HOLY LOVE, someone, or, something, comes along, and, before you THINK about it, that tongue has spewed forth words, which, might, or, might not, have been heartfelt, but, WERE spoken, IN REACTION to what caused you to do so! See what I mean? Sin is the EASIEST thing to live in, as it is so prevalent in our imperfection! Now, some sins are readily forgiven, this is true, but, requires sincere, repentance, on our part!!!
*GOD'S* Chosen, ARE to be as LIGHT in the world, and so, to LIVE in as much righteousness, as is feasible, optimizes the REASON for our doing so! Like, your actions can influence another to believing! But, IF your sin is visible, then, that influence will be compromised, understand? THIS is the major reason for ALWAYS trying to perfect the being, that *GOD* IS GLORIFIED THROUGH HIS CHOSEN, for ALL the world to see, hear, and, hopefully, turn from their ways, to HIS WAY!!!
