The will of God.

"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour" (1 Thessalonians 4:3, 4 KJV). Sin has no respect for anyone. It will lead a soul directly to hell. It's out to trap, delude, deceive, and bind up every human being. When sin catches hold of a person, it is hard to break free from it because sin usually amuses the flesh by allowing the flesh to indulge in its sinful nature and appetites. That person will begin to look at things in an immoral way. That which was pure will become perverse in the imagination and the heart. Sin holds one back from being free. It keeps them in a place of selfishness and pride. Pride is one hard sin to break because one bound by pride sees themself as okay and without a problem. The traps that the devil uses on everyone of us is found in 1 John 2:16. It says, "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world". Sin grows in one's life when one loves the things of the world and puts them first in their life. For the love of the Father is not in them. God has called us to dedicate ourselves to the most thorough purity and not to impurity. The only way to victory over sin is through Jesus Christ and the cross. God bless you. Amen
