Can you imagine being married to someone and they come to you and say honey I think I should be allowed to cheat on you at least once a week. It's hard being faithful 7 days a week 😱.
What would you say ? Would you think your spouse loves you?
Well friends this how many of us Christians treat Christ 😔. When we get baptized we enter into a covenant with Christ, a marriage relationship in which He vows to be our God and we vow to be His children, we vow to be faithful to Him. But many soon seeks satisfaction elsewhere and break His heart 💔
We commit what the Bible calls spiritual adultery when we seek satisfaction from other sources than Christ. When we go to the world to fulfill the void in our hearts because we don't really believe that Christ is able to be our all and this friends is the source of our weakness in the Christian life .
Friends, being a true Christian requires total commitment. Part time Christians are an enemy to Christ for they cannot be depended upon to be constant witness for the Master. A part time Christian lives a sinful life throughout the week and come on sabbath pretending to be Holy, such a person is a fraud.
But it gets worse. Because other people think they are Christians and when they see their sinful behaviors, their lifestyles they concluded that Christians are hypocrites, that there is no power in Christ and that the religion of Christ is a fraud, a delusion. And because of this, many reject the gospel because of these part time Christians.
Friends, if you want to be a Christian you must be fully committed to Christ. You cannot be sneaking around with the Devil and the works of darkness throughout the week and hoping to be Holy on sabbath. Friendship with the world is adultery against God. You must either be wholly God's or wholly the Devil's.
According the Bible, God would prefer you go fully into sin than pretending to be His servant while you are practicing a life of secret sins, blaspheming His name and bringing reproach to His cause in the eyes of the heathens. Either serve God or serve sin
So what are you going to do friends? Are you going to still pretend you are a Christian while living a life of sin? Or are you going to go fully into the world and enjoy sin? The message to day is choose! Either be fully committed to Christ or go serve sin, the world and the Devil and stop being a stumbling block to the cause of God.
Choose this day whom you will serve
James 4: 4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God
