In life we see the world saying that all manner of things are good and those things come in attractive packages. Trans fatty acids were said to be healthy but now we know we were deceived. Sin destroys life as well. Trans fatty acids have sneaked into our lives and at first there did not appear to be any ill effects. But now we know the effects appear over the years and result in higher rates of heart disease.
Sin does the same.
Sin slowly sneaks into our lives and gradually over the years takes away life. We must decide whether we want to really live or settle for the lies of the world. God calls upon us to make a decision. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. I ve only climbed some very small mountains that some would consider hills.
