“For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up. In struggling against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:3-4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

As Christians, it is not okay to normalise sin or allow the world’s ways within our church community. A lot is happening in America over the LGBT community, and that movement is changing society. This movement is infiltrating the churches, and pastors are allowing people to be part of the church as active members who are openly homosexual and even transexual pastors. This acceptance is an abomination to the body of Christ. As people who have decided to follow Jesus, we must not allow sin in our lives, and we should have an active plan against evil entering our lives. As a church, we must work together to maintain purity and holiness, resisting sin to the point of shedding our blood. That is what the Bible says.

Now, understand this, as Christians, we must not allow sin within our lives. As a community, we must welcome people in whatever condition they come to us. People of the world will come to church, and whether they are LGBT, drug addicts, prostitutes, adulterers, devil worshippers or a “normal” people, we accept them. It is our role to lead them to Jesus and teach them the ways of God. Through their meeting Jesus, they will themselves get to the point of struggling against sin and removing that corruption from their lives through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. This point in a walk with God is when church discipline becomes essential.

As the body of Christ, we welcome and embrace and love the person, but we hate the sin. As Christians, like Jesus, we must be able to go to the broken people of society and sit amongst those who are rejected by religious systems. But like Jesus, when they encounter the truth of God, we copy Jesus in saying, “Now go forth and sin no more.”. If we as Christians work to maintain the way of God, it becomes God’s presence that changes the world around us. But, we must not grow tired of maintaining purity amongst ourselves. It is an essential part of the true Body of Christ that they will be a family who works together to resist sin and maintain holiness.

Today reject sin and embrace holiness.
