Read 2 John, 3 John, Jude
Jude 1:21 says, "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." Once we’ve found the Lord, you’d think we’d never want to return to those old things we left behind. But habits are hard to break and we have to make a conscious effort to stop. Every day we have to decide to say no to the evil things we are trying to weed out of our lives.
When things get tough, we seek comfort in the familiar and again find ourselves slipping into the very things God delivered us out of. We have to start all over again.
But if we can learn to seek good habits, we have something to turn to. God knows how hard it is to stomp out evil without having something in its place. He provides all we need in love and mercy when we turn to Him.
