Deuteronomy 29:16\u201319, Emboldened to sin.<\/b> As we pass through the spiritual wilderness of the world around us (verse 16) on our way to the Promised Land of our eternal inheritance, it\u2019s easy for us sin-oriented beings to justify our personal rebellion, our sinful habits, our lustful and materialistic thoughts on the basis of carnal rationalizations.<\/p>\n

Delusions are tempting.<\/p>\n

It is all too easy to\u00a0fall prey to such excuses as, \u201cEveryone around me is doing it,\u201d or, \u201cIt feels like it\u2019s okay to do,\u201d or, \u201cIf it feels good, do it,\u201d or \u201cYHVH\u2019s laws don\u2019t apply to me \u2026 that was for the people back then, not for us today,\u201d or, \u201cThat\u2019s not what the church I belong to teaches,\u201d or, \u201cSurely YHVH doesn\u2019t expect us to keep his commandments \u2026 they\u2019re too hard to do \u2026 we can\u2019t really do all that stuff today,\u201d or, \u201cWe\u2019re under grace today \u2026 that stuff has been done away \u2026 Jesus fulfilled it \u2026 nailed it to the cross,\u201d etc. Do these statements square with YHVH\u2019s words of truth?<\/p>\n

If we have fallen prey to such excuses to disregard the Creator\u2019s commandments, we have, in reality, emboldened ourselves to continue sinning.<\/p>\n

The question each person needs to ask themselves is, \u201cDo what I believe and practice square with YHVH\u2019s Word?\u201d Is YHVH pleased with our excuses or our obedience?<\/p>\n

What did Yeshua say would be an identifying mark of those who would love him? (Read John 14:15.)<\/p>\n
