You Can Obey God, and Still Have A Good Time by Bryan
Gibson Young
people, be advised--the devil is a liar. Jesus said so in John 8:44. One
of his biggest lies to young people is that you can't serve God and enjoy
life at the same time. The devil wants you to believe that God has placed
too many restrictions on you (see Genesis 3:1-6); that if you want to really
"live it up," you must forsake His commandments.
Please
study the following words from 1 Peter 3:10-12: "For he who would love
life and see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips
from speaking deceit. {11} Let him turn away from evil and do good;
Let him seek peace and pursue it. {12} For the eyes of the LORD are on
the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of
the LORD is against those who do evil." Did you see that?
To truly "love life" and "see good days," you must "turn away from evil
and do good." By doing that, you know that God will always be on your side,
that His ears will be open to your prayers. Sin does bring pleasure, but
this pleasure is only passing (Hebrews
