"As the believer's understanding of spiritual truth deepens and their godly affections develop, the allure of their old sinful life fades."
The Christian life is a constant struggle to attain holiness. Our call to be set apart from the world places us in the sights of a culture that opposes God's truth. Even as the world around us is changing, our struggle remains the same.
To resist the temptation to compromise with sin or even to turn away from suffering, Christians must cling to God's Word. Only then can we live for the Lord.
