Living for Jesus means living the life that fulfils the purpose for which He came and died for. Jesus said, I am the light of the world; and in another verse of Scripture, He said that believers are the light of the world. He has promised that His followers shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. And it is having the light of life in us that lightens up our world - John 8:12; John 5:14.

Sin deceives; therefore, it is needful to remind ourselves daily about the warnings in the Scriptures and remain watchful. We cannot afford to be careless with our Christian life because many in the past and in contemporary times have been and are being deceived out of the straight narrow way. Be not deceived: the consequence of sin is death and whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. A little sin has the power to damn your soul in hell.

After God had revealed to Israel the punishment that would befall them if they failed to obey His commandments, He expected them to be obedient. However, Israel refused to obey the Lord. They soon forgot the word of God and descended further into idolatry. Be warned, and avoid the deadly and devastating consequence of sin and backsliding. The Lord has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, so live as one that can be called home at any time.

Godliness is profitable, and it pays to know and serve the Lord Jesus Christ. As a godly youth, Daniel resisted temptation, restrained his appetite and abstained from every appearance of evil. He purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself. The decision he made as a young man saw him through life as a godly prosperous man. Beware of the decisions you make today because of the far-reaching consequences they will have in your life.

The word of God declares that Abraham was fully persuaded that, what God had promised, He was able also to perform it. Although the promised Isaac did not come until after twenty-five years of waiting, Abraham overcame the temptation to stagger at the promise of God. He was strong in faith. He trusted the faithfulness of God who cannot lie but does whatever He promises.
