Does sin exist?
Be alert

The words that Peter preached around 2,000 years ago, are still valuable, to the point, and full of truth. Basically, in 1 Peter 5:8-9 it is written that Peter said to the elders and his followers to ‘Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith,…’
It is so true that we are to be alert as the devil prowls around, and that we are to resist the devil by being firm in our faith. Wherever there is corruption, injustice, exploitation of human beings, abuse of power, and manipulation of the truth amongst others, there is the devil prowling around parliament, financial and government institutions, drug dealers, and traffickers of human beings amongst others. The roaring lion penetrates these places to devour, destroy, and try to eliminate the presence of Christ.
The solution for any person who comes face to face with the lion in these situations is to stand firm in one’s faith. Stay strong in Jesus, and trust in Jesus to receive His grace to overcome the devil.
Whenever one opens the door for the lion to enter roaring in one’s life, destruction of society follows. Having a strong faith in Christ helps a person to overcome the devil.
