I took my oldest boy out for a little one on one special day. A time to spend together before he started 5th grade. Being that I knew Gregory came to a saving faith in the Lord 4 years ago and is a very bright little boy; I asked him "what’s the toughest thing about being a Christian" he quickly responded with "not giving in to temptation".
Honestly, isn't that the truth with all believers!? We are tempted in so many various ways every single day! We have a choice sin or not sin. Gregory and I continued our discussion for a while. I shared with him the importance of building our relationship with our best friend Jesus Christ and He will help us turn from temptations that come across our paths. We can build that relationship by staying in fellowship with Him. We stay in fellowship with Him by being in the word and seeing what God wants to say to us, study, prayer and gathering together for Bible study and church.
"....let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:22
