Stop...go no farther!

Hello.Good evening. A subject many have dealt with and many more will. Ever been in a relationship that was contentious? It's not always the way you think. Lets look at what the word of God says about this. Romans chapter 2:verse 8. " But unto those that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, vs 9 Tribulation and anquish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, also of the Gentile. The above is what the consequences of sin are. Contention  means likely to cause disagreement or argument. No one should like that. Yet we see that even on the subject of what is unrighteous, many people will contend. Look at Titus 2:12...Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and wordly lust, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. The previous verse, 11 says its the grace of God that bringeth salvation, that hath appeared to all men...is what teaches us to live this way. This is not an option on how to live. If your saved, u should be living this way. Now look at Romans chapter 1: verse 18. Here is an example of what many do. And the results. Don't fall into this category. " The wrath of God revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
God's wrath is upon you, because you sin and do not change. Let's look farther into Roman's 6:13. It says" Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. In other words the Apostle Paul here in the Book of Romans is trying to tell us that we are to yield ourselves to God because we are alive from the dead and our bodily instruments are to be yielded [ faculties] to God. In other words, before sin has power over us, it  must pass through our will. This of course is concerning the believer. We can have control.Romans 1:18 shows us clearly that many know exactly what they are doing when they sin in Gods face. THE WRATH OF GOD WILL BE UPON YOU. In verse 19 of chapter 1( Romans) The Bible says GOD has shown it to the people that know better but sin anyway. Wow. Someone reading this may be guilty of this behavior. Your involved in living an unrighteous life and yet you know better. Please repent. Go no farther into your sin. Let the Holy Spirit change your heart. Amen.
