Nothing More Important
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ For everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Mark 9:42–50

Nothing More Important
The world, the devil, and our own sinful flesh never tire of trying to pull us away from God. They know our weaknesses and where we are most vulnerable. Yet, the reality is that no matter what the temptation is nothing is more important than our life with God. Nothing is more important than retaining your faith into eternal life. Therefore, let nothing come between you and the Savior. Though the world, the devil, and our sinful flesh will never stop tempting us, and even God will test us with fire, He does not consume His own people, and He is greater than any adversary we face. Rejoice, for God graciously gives us the faith in which He preserves us to eternity. May our Lord give us the lasting faith that can persevere through every trial. My He empty our hands of anything that competes with Him, and let us hold firmly to Him eternally.
