The Folly and the Folly

Brothers and sisters, see from these verses how much God hates sin, and how foolish it is to give yourself to sin or even to compromise with sin. Remember that Jesus Christ died for sin. And know that if you reject His work and choose to continue on in your sin, doing exactly as you please, that you will suffer the fate of Ahaziah. Don’t choose the way of folly or the other way of folly. Choose the way of life, opened up by Christ’s death and vindicated by His resurrection. Jehoshaphat did, and despite his failures, God accepted him. His mercy is for you too. You see, brothers and sisters, we’re all compromised! We all have residual friendship for the world. But Christ died for that too. Trust Him. Rely on Him. Honor Him as holy — and don’t ever forget how much He hates sin. Amen.
