Believers Face Temptation Also

[Pastor Dr. Michael M Sherrod]

Believers face temptation to conform to the world's perspective every day. The temptation to conform to the world is marketed well- abortion as choice, lust as freedom of expression, and greed as determination . Each believer must develop a keen eye for God's truth and then stand his or her ground against the world often feeling alone against the masses . The struggle can be exhausting ( 1 John 2: 15 – 16 ) . But for all the clever marketing the world does , the difference between the world and the Father are clear when God's Word is used as a lens . Jesus said , '' Take heart ! I have overcome the world'' ( John 16 : 33 ).
