Want to hear a secret? There are none! One of Satan's subtle deceptions is that we can do things in secret that will never be revealed. This is not the truth. God's Word stresses that EVERYTHING done in darkness will one day be brought to light. So before we commit ourselves to do anything questionable, we ought to seriously ask ourselves, "Am I willing for those around me to know what I am about to do? Am I willing for God to watch me participate in this activity?"
"For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light." Luke 8:17
The knowledge that God sees what we do, the certainty that we are accountable for every word or action, these ought to dissuade us from sin! However, we can become so alienated from the Father that even this knowledge does not deter us. We need to be reminded: God does promise that He will publicly expose our sin so that we must give account to others for our actions. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when! Ultimately, everything we do will be exposed on judgment day!
Yet, some people, believe that they can sin against God, their families, their employers, even their friends and never be discovered. Are we one of them? This thinking is extremely foolish!! God has provided a safeguard against sin, namely, the certainty of disclosure! Did you know that Scripture commands us to expose the deeds of darkness as we become aware of them? Check Ephesians 5:11. As Christians, we are to be the light that dispels the darkness in our world! Sin cannot continue in the Christian's experience because light cannot dwell with the darkness. Friends, the only insurance we have against having our sins exposed is living a blameless life. And that starts with the Lord Jesus Christ as the one in control of our life!
May God richly bless you today!! H Trent!!
