God wants non of His children to partake in the sinfulness of this world, but to come under His saving grace. The Bible says this at Ephesians 5:1-7:
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
God is very serious when He tells us about the inheriting His Kingdom.
We are dear to Gods heart. He wants us to follow His ways and to walk in love, just as Christ Jesus loved and sacrificed himself, offering us as a sweet smelling savor to God. If we choose not to walk in the ways of God, we are making a choice to walk down a path of destruction.
God tells us not to commit these acts:
- Fornication - It is jeopardizing to God.
- Dedication It is a damnation.
- Uncleanness - It is demeaning.
- Covetousness - It is possessiveness.
- Filthiness - is laziness.
- Foolish talking - is unbalanced walking. One will surely fall.
- Jesting - It is foolish joking.
Verse 5 goes on to say that a whoremonger, unclean person and a covetous man, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Gods desire is for all His children to be obedient to His Word. We are to love Him with all our heart, soul and mind. - Matthew 22:37 Keep in mind when temptations come, God is with you.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. -
Isaiah 41:10.
At times you may become weak in your desires. You may stumble and take a fall. Call on the LORD. He is near to answer your call.
