It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are. Sometimes compromise is good, it is good in marriage and many times in business. But when it comes to our spiritual relationship with God compromise isn’t good.
It can become too easy to compromise our faith by giving into the world temptations. Scripture tells us that when we see people who reduce God to something they can use or control we need to get away from them as fast as possible.
If you have ever felt close to God and are now feeling separated from Him, as many have, it’s because you moved God didn’t. Satan’s policy is to make us believe that not only does He not exist, but that there is no evil in our hearts that would cause God to move away. I have learned from experience that when you flirt with the devil and sin all you do is allow him to get his foot in the door. When his foot is in the door this allows him and his demons to influence our thinking and discernment process, as well as taking up residence somewhere in our hearts. This is why we can’t compromise in our spiritual life,
This doesn’t mean that we can’t seek to live in harmony with people who have different opinions. It just means we have to be aware of unrighteous living.
God wants our devotion. God is selfish and it is not the same like of selfishness that leads to our sinful acts. God’s selfishness is a kind of selfishness that is out of love for us. We may have a difficult time wrapping out heads around this concept, but God way is not our ways. (Isaiah 55:8-9).
We cannot have God’s blessings and flirt with the devil. Sadly we are seeing this and it’s repercussions in the world today.
