When God says...
My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent. If they say, “Come with us, Let us lie in wait to shed blood; Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down to the Pit; We shall find all kinds of precious possessions, We shall fill our houses with spoil; Cast in your lot among us, Let us all have one purse”— (Proverbs 1:10-14 NKJV)
He is warning us there are agents of sin around. Careless, face to face with their temptation, we become a neutral and free moral agent. As believers, we are shielded by faith. But, when we listen to them we step on to a place of decision to sin or not. Better avoid them, lest our free will can be tested. The agents of sin use forceful tactics. They use enticing bait of spoils to weaken our resolve. We are to be always alert and online with God. Lord Jesus said - "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Mark 14:38 NKJV)
And I say, AMEN!
