Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers
Have you noticed how God does not just forgive us and allow us to go on doing our own thing!
Jesus paid the ultimate price on our behalf and expects us to try and show the same love toward Him as He showed to us...
This does mean turning away from the evil or bad ways we used to live by... God is setting us free from the temptations of this world, but we still have to make a choice!
