In difficult times it is really important to know what to do and remain faithful to God and hold fast to our testimony. This will be a way of establishing a little direction for those who are young Christians.
The very first thing is to know what Jesus has done for us and what that result will be. We cannot be on the fence as to whther we are saved or not. Living in sin brings guilt. That guilt is a tool of the devil to cause us to waver in our faith.
Many have the idea we live the way we please and that we don't have to obey standards which God has established. Going to church for some has fulfilled their obligations if they put money in the box.
it will be neccessary for us to know if we hold to what is true concerning the bible and those who teach it. It is possible for people to make mistakes about the word, but they will be on the track of making sure that they have truth.
Now that we have a sure salvation and are commited to truth, we know what we believe about salvation
and the truth about the word. That is basic stuff. the third is living the truth. Head knowledge about the bible is important. Wisdom is acting on it. The person I am with right now believes in smoking, cursing, back talking, is racial, Would not go to church, lies, points the finger, is very proud and rebelious, and more , but says they are a Christian. I love them and pray for them, and forgive them.
It is very important for us to have the Holy Spirit clean us up from sins so we can appreciate the work Jesus did on the cross which was to deliver us from sin. Rom. 8:6 part 2 set us free from the law of sin and death. Jesus came to give us life and that more abundantly Jn. 10:10 to be continued.
