Romans 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
The Christian in our day must hold the lines of truth in a clear, concise and consistent format, so that the line of demarcation between those who serve God, and those who serve Him not, may be distinct. The tendency to buckle under pressure from your boss, if and when he instructs you to break God’s law, is a recipe for disaster, and all who take that route will have to repent, or perish, as the word of God plainly states.
Acts 5: 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, 28 Saying, did not we straitly command you that you should not teach in this name? and, behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. 29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, we ought to obey God rather than men.
It was the worship of the creature, rather than The Creator, that got us into the mess we are in today, for Adam worshipped Eve, when she bid him to eat of the forbidden fruit, and he obeyed, contrary to what God said. In so doing, Adam placed his loyalty with her, instead of God, and the rest is history. This is something men and women in our day must never ever do, for wherever this is the case calamity and adverse consequences will follow like clockwork in the overwhelming majority of cases.
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
