SELLING OUT TOO CHEAP 2

EVE WAS THE FIRST TO SELL OUT Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree good for food, and that it pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. SHE SAW The serpent deceived Eve into thinking that the forbidden fruit would make her equal with God. She knew that God had forbidden them to eat of the tree of "Knowledge of Good and Evil", yet she still let the serpent persuade her. She saw. I am sure it must have been a beautiful sight and it probably looked very delicious, and the thought of being as smart as God was truly tempting. There are certain things that I don't want to be around. I know my weaknesses and I don't even want to be near many things that I know might tempt me. Satan will use the things that look good to entice us. He makes sin look beautiful and alluring. If we look at many things and try to rationalize them we might just come to the conclusion that "it won't hurt to try it." But it will hurt. Sin always hurts. Not only does sin hurt us, it hurts those around us. Just look at those who have chosen a life of sin and see how it does affect those around them. Remember, it doesn't matter how good something looks. If God says to leave it alone it is best for you if you leave it alone. Please feel free to contact me by email at shilohkosciusko@gmail.com with questions, comments or even suggestions for further devotional studies. If you know of someone new to the Kosciusko area and would like for our church to visit them please let us know. Our prayers are that this devotional ministry will be an outreach to bring people into a closer relationship with Jesus. I do appreciate you taking the time to read these devotionals and please keep us in your prayers.
