This walk ain’t easy, and no one said it would be. But it is worth it! It’s like a challenging game, and to win is to make it into the eternal paradise. Like most games, there are more losers than winners. BUT. Everyone has EQUAL chance to win. It’s all about the choices we make…
You may have heard, the harder the decision, the bigger the blessing (reward). I have personally found this to be absolutely true. Easy decisions can bring curses. It’s easy to lie, cheat, and steal. It’s harder to be upright and honest. I haven’t dealt with a liar, a cheater or a thief, that’s way too much darkness for me. But I have dealt with people who want you to join in their sin. And it’s easy to play along, harder to walk in the other direction.
Even when Eve sinned, she sincerely repented. It’s in the Books of Adam & Eve which were removed from the modern Bible. So that’s a different thing from wanting to remain in your sin and never change from it. Blessings.
For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. (2 Peter 2:20)
Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set[j] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. (Matthew 10:34-38)
