When the alliance breaks-5

* Luís Alberto Alves

In soap operas and serials, where authors are often Satanists, with exceptions, actors and actresses will play roles suggesting that wrong is right. They reinforce the behaviors defended by darkness. By means of amusement, subtly, they pass the messages sent by the devil, fomenting the rebelliousness and the lack of commitment to the Word of God.

The purpose of Satan is to make as many Christians break the covenant with God, when after the ransom of the mud of sin, they have promised to serve the Lord wholeheartedly. In case of the drug addict, who turned away from the narcotics, the alcoholic leaving aside the drink; the prostitute renouncing illicit sexual relationships; the homosexual who became disgusted with the way he had sex before he met Jesus; of the trafficker who stopped selling chemical substances responsible for the addiction; of the thief who decided to work to support himself. Finally, there are several examples.

The Christian's alliance with God bothers the devil. It is ruled by good rules and pleasing to the Lord. He will not bring anyone into the abyss, but into Heaven, where the obedient servant will live eternity. It is to keep us on that path where the unjust can not stand, for the light of the Lord knocks him to the ground. The difficulties exist because Satan knows where he will go after the Last Judgment. Since he does not intend to live alone in hell with his demons, he intends to bring many rebellious Christians along.

When temptation comes (and it will come), the servant obedient to God, needs to ask for strength to Jesus Christ to continue the walk. Ignore the bad invitations, sometimes disguised in beautiful packages with the well-known words "nothing to see". The boat will rock, but it is better to remain in this alliance. She is sure that one day we will be in Heaven where we will never be tormented and there we will pass through eternity. Therefore, my brother or sister remain firm. Never break the covenant that you once established with Jesus Christ.
