Be alert and of sober thoughts. Your enemy the satan prowls round like a roaring lion in search of somebody to devour.
1 Peter 5: 8 NIV
The enemy is continually making an attempt to deceive the kids of God. As Christians (particularly these younger & saved), we should all the time be vigilant and on guard. We should continuously be within the Spirit so that we’ll not fall prey to the techniques and deception of the enemy.
Below are 8 lies that society tells you, that it is best to NEVER, EVER consider.
1. God is not real.
God is very real. Even creation proclaims His nature (Psalms 19:1-6 NIV, Romans 1: 19-20 NIV). How is it that planet Earth is the one planet that may maintain mankind and has every little thing that we’d like, from the meals we eat to the air we breathe? Food for thought!
For what may be identified about God is obvious to them, as a result of God has proven it to them. For his invisible attributes, specifically, his everlasting energy and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever because the creation of the world,[a] within the issues which have been made. So they’re with out excuse.
Romans 1:19-20
2. The Bible is old school.
God is identical yesterday, immediately, and endlessly. The methods, ideas, and patterns of the world might change, however God and His phrase are fixed and by no means modifications. There is nothing new below the solar, nothing is a shock to God. The Holy Bible is related, much more, immediately, as increasingly indicators divulge to us that Jesus is coming again quickly. We have to all the time be prepared and day by day learn God’s Word so that we’ll be ready as His bride.
Heaven and earth will move away, however my phrases won’t ever move away.
Matthew 24:35 NIV
3. Sexual Abstinence is flawed.
The Bible describes sexual immorality, which incorporates premarital intercourse, as sinning towards oneself. Other sins are dedicated exterior of the physique, however sexual immorality is defiling the temple of God, which is the place the Holy Spirit of God lives.
“Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
1 Corinthians 6: 18-20
4. If you like me, you should have intercourse with me
Anyone who really loves and cares for you’ll watch for you. He or she is going to worth your physique and choice to be abstinent. Hopefully, they too need to abstain as nicely. Your physique is a temple, do not abuse it, cherish it and deal with it with kindness and respect.
Don’t you already know that you simply yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anybody destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that particular person; for God’s temple is sacred, and also you collectively are that temple.
1 Corinthians 6: 16-17
5. You have to date/have a boyfriend and girlfriend to be pleased
Since when did the necessity to have a “significant other” be a necessity to be pleased? The happiest persons are those that are content material with who they’re and love themselves earlier than they let every other particular person in. Find worth in your self, maintain your self and that particular particular person will come alongside on the proper time.
But search first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all this stuff might be given to you as nicely.
Mat:hew 6:33
6. Sex is Just a Physical Act
Being Intimate with somebody is greater than only a bodily act, it concerned your soul and spirit. When a person is intimate with one other, the 2 create a bond (chemical bond within the mind) and a non secular/soul tie. Your complete being is now tied to the opposite. Please, my brothers and sisters, select properly and select to attend!
Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one along with her in physique? For it’s stated, “The two will turn out to be one flesh.
1 Corinthians 6:16
-Grace
