Is There Anything Or Anyone That Can Draw You Away From God?

 

Today's verse is 1 Timothy 6:14

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 

    There are many things that can draw one from the faith of the Lord God, all can be placed under a single banner: Covetousness, which Paul labels elsewhere as Idolatry. Do you count anything or anyone as more important, or more valuable than the Lord your God. Solomon did, for his many wives caused him to stray. Was he not the wisest man to have ever lived? We know that to Love the Lord God with all our heart, mind and soul is the greatest commandment, and if we have any hope of eternal life, it is in Jesus Christ, who died and rose from the grave. And it is by these, though him that indwells us that we can love our neighbor as ourselves. So always, and only place God in the preeminent place, allowing none other to circumvent that, for if we are to love them, they must also come to this same knowledge of God, else we both suffer the condemnation of God. Amen.

To God be the Glory
