Everything really is black or white, unless you persist in gray areas of “freedom” then you must know that Satan owns all gray areas.
Any so-called called moral compass that is defined contrary to this is purely subjective and relative. It is what the Bible refers to as sinking sand.
When we build upon the Rock, Jesus Christ, then we are not subject to falling prey to these gray areas of sinking sand which result in the backsliding out of the grace of God.
Some will take issue with me stating that backsliding takes us out of God’s grace but one only needs to do a topical study of backsliding throughout the Bible to see that anywhere backsliding is mentioned it describes a separation from God being a very dangerous and damning place to be. This is up to the reader to search out (See Proverbs 18:13). Do not go by what you have heard from the pulpits during your lifetime but instead search the scriptures for yourself. Once you have done this you will see the gray areas looking to be what they truly are and that is pure evil, black.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:24-27
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, Hebrews 10:26
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. Luke 10:27
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1-2
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. Colossians 3:5-7
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin. James 4:17
And when he had called the people [unto him] with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Mark 8:34
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD [be] God, follow him: but if Baal, [then] follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 1 Kings 18:21
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me…If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:6, 15
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11
Note on backsliding. Start here and Ezekiel 33 and then ask yourself about the book of life mentioned in the old and new testaments. The context as well as the math is easy here. One cannot be blotted or taken out if they were not already written in. Many will use theological gymnastics to wiggle around this but the safe thing to adhere to is stay on the old paths, in God’s will, and you do not have to struggle with this concept. Repent or you will perish.
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezekiel 3:20-21
And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Exodus 32:33
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:19
Think on this. If you are backsliding and ridding the fence and Satan owns it what would be your eternal outcome if died on that fence?
