Freedom and its choices

Freedom, it’s a nice word but we use it to say that we are free from something. Real freedom is based off of choice that we make. I will go back to the story of Adam and Eve.

God gave Adam and Eve freedom to make a Choice on what they were going to do in the Garden of Eden. He told them not to eat of a Tree of good and evil. This was a rightful choice and he warned them if they would eat of the tree they shall surely die. Do we listen to Warnings? No we don’t. We think that we know better than God. So we get snared into thinking that it wont harm us. The Devil the great deceiver let us to think that just try this cigarette or just take this sip of alcohol. Look at me he says I am not dead. Then the devil lies and tells us that God is trying to prevent us from taking this apple because it would enhance our lives. Well we do it and it ending up costing us not instant death but eternity.

I feel the same way about drugs and alcohol. What enhancement does it to do our lives? First it gets us addicted to substances that now we have to take that substance in order to gain normality in our lives. It threatens our lively hood with Christ. That substance becomes more like a God to us. We have to smoke it or drink it on a regular bases. We have a hard problem stopping it because it has taken over out lives.

So what is the Big deal with smoking anyway? If you are a smoker there is no big deal, because this is your substance and you will die doing it. So that might not be a problem for you. It makes you happy even those it kills you in the long run. This is a personal price you pay for that addiction. Trying to stop is hard because of withdrawals and side effects. Some people today wish they would of never started smoking.

I want to say to all those smokers. Star a new addiction to Christ. This addiction does not have a side effect or withdrawal Symptoms it also make sure that you have an ever-lasting life.

How do you get started with this habit? Start picking it up immediately by getting into his word. I suggest getting a pastor to help you get started, you might find out that its better than the drug because you can take it with you were ever you go. Start lighting you life up with its renewal of Gods spirit in your life. I know you will never regret starting this addiction because it would be an enhancement in your life.
