It really is sad how mankind consistently tends to choose sin over salvation. This is something that my dad and I were talking about earlier this week. People tend to lack commitment to being a Christian. Lukewarm and backslidden Christians are a commodity in our world today. Being a Christian requires us to be ambassadors to our King! Life is full of sinful temptation, but we are called to overcome it. James 1:12 says “Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him”. The word for “love” in the Greek that James uses is agaposin, a variation of agape. This means an unconditional, undying, selfless love. We need to love our Lord more than anyone or anything else in this world.
