The scriptures reveal to us that God hates sin. They also reveal to us why. Sin is vile and deadly, sin destroys and robs us of all that is good. A just and Holy God must deal with sin harshly and He has by giving His Son. Jesus has conquered sin and now calls us to go and sin no more!

There is a temptation for God's people to become spiritually lethargic and begin to neglect the things of God. Enemies often arise to resist any of our efforts. As this happens, the danger is that we become weakened and potentially conform to the world around us. However, Jesus said we are the salt of the world. We cannot afford to lose our saltiness!

As God begins to raise up a testimony of the grace and power of His son - know that Satan will make every effort to stop it. The Devil hates the testimony of Christ's saving, delivering, and healing power. However, we can rest in knowing that God always rises in defense of this testimony!
