“Ye have not yet resisted unto blood striving against sin.” (Hebrews 12:4)
The Bible teaches us from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 to make a stand against sin and sinful activities. We are to stand against sin even in our own minds and bodies. Job was one who feared God and shunned evil.
The martyrs, “resisted unto blood striving against sin.” John the Baptist is a case in point. When he withstood Herod concerning Herod having the wife of his brother Philip, John was thrown into jail and was decapitated.
Stephen, in Acts chapters six and seven, is another who resisted unto blood striving against sin. Neither of these great men just “went along” to get along.
How strongly do you oppose and resist sin in yourself, in society, in your family, friends and acquaintances? Or do you just keep quiet and not resist sin?
If we would make a difference and turn our nation around from destruction, we must make a stand against sin.
