It is ironical that the enemies of God instantly obey God’s word while the children of God refuse to obey God’s commandment and walk in His ways! Whereas snakes and scorpions refrain from exercising their naturally harmful behavior when ordered under Christ’s Name, God’s people, created in God’s own image and likeness, engage in sinful ways, dishonoring God’s Name! How is this possible?
It is possible because God has endowed us with free will. However, our free choices have consequences and we cannot run away from them. The saddest consequence will be the loss of our names from the scrolls of heaven. How greatly Jesus desires to share His power with us to defeat the Enemy, and so have the names of all his sisters and brothers written in heaven!
