Box of Chocolate Gathering: Our study has been, "With or Without God---Our Week Would Be..." Without God, for the sinner, sin reigns in their mortal bodies and the passions of the flesh were aroused by the law and brought forth fruit to death. Hell is their home for eternity. They walk in darkness and fall into many traps. Sinners love evil. They are sorrowful and grieve over situations that happen in life. All their days are afflicted with evil. They have no comfort. Satan triumphs over them. Sinners fruit are bad. Wasting and destruction are in their path They will be hungry, thirsty and naked in need of everything. They fight against God and His commandments. The sinner is damaged badly by their father, satan, and will come to ruin. Sinners are bound with a yoke of bo***ge. On the other hand, a saint, who are God's redeemed people are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. Heaven is their home for eternity. Our Father guards our feet and keeps us safe. He delights in us. We hate evil. We will judge the world. The Father makes us merry. A merry heart does good like medicine. Our mourning is turned into joy and comfort and He makes us rejoice rather than sorrow. He will wipe away all tears; He puts them in a bottle. We have Holy Spirit who comforts us. Our enemy (satan) can't triumph over us unless we let him. We bear fruit worthy of repentance. Our fruit is good. We are of great worth and value, esteemed rare and precious. We are God's special treasure IF we obey His Word. We bring forth good things out of our heart. The truth makes us free. We die to sin and we are free. We are free from the law of sin and death. We are set apart for His glory. We are sanctified by truth, by God's Word, we are washed and cleansed by His Word. We are sanctified by the blood of Jesus. We are long-suffering where the sinner is impatient. We have long and patient endurance from offense. We have the ability to bear trials without grumbling. We have a friendly attitude towards others. The sinner has an inability to control their desires and actions. They are cruel, harsh and irritated easily, being provoked to anger. They are not mild. They lack kindness and sympathy. Now, which one sounds like the kind of life you want?
