When faced with the choice of honoring or dishonoring God, why would you choose sin? After all the Lord has done for you, why would you choose to serve Satan instead of Him? To my shame, I have to ask myself this question far too often. Like Paul, I don’t do the things I want to do, and I do the things I don’t want to do. (Romans 7:15-19) It’s maddening!
How can we love Christ so much and still live our lives as if He were not more important than anyone or anything else? Christ is Lord; of that there is no doubt. (Philippians 2:9-11; Acts 2:36) But if we aren’t living that truth, then we’re living a lie and a life of delusion. (Luke 6:46; James 1:22)
