Truth always sets us free, but it only does when we accept it in our hearts. The truth has a way of freeing us from everything that holds us down. Sin deceives, distorts, and keeps us from the truth. That is, until we recognize truth. When we embrace truth, it clears the path to restoration and wholeness by clearing away the deceptive mindset sin creates in us. This path begins with getting right with God, getting right with the people you offended, and making the decision to turn around and get back on the path God has set before you. Following God, walking in His ways, is like driving on a road with guardrails. They make you feel safe, they give you confidence, and they protect you from accidents by keeping you on the road. Walking in God’s ways protects us from evil attacks. It doesn’t guarantee we won’t be attacked, we will, but it assures us that we won’t fail and it be permanent. Sinful behavior will always lead you astray. That’s why drawing close to God is vital in our daily lives. He keeps us guarded and aware of sin’s powerful influence. And He gives us the power to overcome it.
6 Godliness guards the path of the blameless, but the evil are misled by sin.
