Key Text: Proverbs 14:12 KJV - There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Small or big, every sin ends in destruction and death. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The wages of sin is death. In His wisdom, the just and righteous God has determined to punish every sinner in hell fire, except they repent. The type of sin committed does not really matter; lying and murder will attract the same judgment - eternal destruction. Therefore, to escape the judgment of God, you must abstain from all appearance of evil.

Sometimes we lie to avoid punishment, or we lie to make profit, or we lie to protect our friends, but all liars shall end up in hell fire. Sin is very deceitful and appears to bring some immediate gain or protection but the end of every sin is death. If we are serious about pleasing God so as to make heaven at the end then we must also, strive to avoid sin at all cost. Always check to confirm that the action you are about to take is not sinful.

Thank God for His gift which is eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord. There is hope now that you are still alive but tomorrow maybe too late. If you are living in sin, just acknowledge, confess and forsake such sins, then ask God for forgiveness and pardon. The Lord is waiting for you to return to Him. Whatever your sin, humble yourself and go to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon you.

Prayer: O Lord, give me victory over every temptation that I may not sin against you, in Jesus name. Amen.

Reflection: Abstain from all appearance of evil - 1 Thessalonians 5:22.
