Of course most of us know that sin can actually bring pleasure for a moment, but is it worth the misery it also causes? As an obvious example, you may have pleasure in cheating on your spouse but look at the misery it has caused by tearing apart your family.
The ultimate result of sin the destruction of your relationship with God. In this life we can choose to repent of our sin and restore our relationship with God. What happens if we don't? If we want to live our life independent from God we must remember that it will culminate in separation from God for all eternity. Nobody is forced to choose God. Nor are we forced to choose eternity without God. No one suffers this fate by accident.
We all have the free will to determine our ultimate destiny. We will live our lives according to our own sinful lusts and greed or will we turn to God for forgiveness and restoration. We will be the ones who ultimately choose whether our eternity is going to be spent with God in Heaven or separated from God and cast into hell. It is all up to us. We have free will to accept or reject the gift of salvation that is offered to us in Jesus the Christ.
Remember that God loves you so much that he sent His Son to endure your punishment that you would have the opportunity to choose eternal life with Him

Any friend of God’s is an enemy of the devil.
As Satan moves to and frow across the earth seeking whom he may devour, God is constantly seeking to draw us closer to the safety that waits in the shadow of the Almighty. He wants us to come to him for protection from the one whom seeks to destroy all that God loves and cares for.
There is a battle occurring for the hearts and minds of all angelic and human beings.
Satan wants to make you doubt whether God cares at all for you and whether or not He even exits.
Satans rebellion began before the concept of time and continues even now. He desires to turn all of us away from God that we might worship him.
To many of us are willing victims of the wiles of the ancient evil one. Our own lusts rule over us if we do not stay close to our Creator.
We willingly walk to edge of the abyss by serving our fleshly desires instead of God and Satan just gives us the final nudge.
As we fall completely into the degradation of sin, Satan rejoices because he has caused sorrow for Our Heavenly Father who loves us. His whole purpose in destroying us is to cause pain and sorrow to Almighty God. He is the enemy of God and therefore the enemy of all of Gods creation. If we are Freinds of God We are to be the enemy of Satan. We fight against his shemes and deceptions. If we go along with Satans plans , We then have joined his team.
What can we do about defeating this enemy?
Submit to God.
Resist the Devil and he will flee from you ....... James 4;7
