Dear reader, a multitude of witnesses are watching you from heaven. God is watching you to see how you react to temptations.
It is like a giant football stadium.
First, all Christians find themselves in a situation comparable to that of a player on the field of a huge football stadium. A vast crowd of spectators closely observes each player’s reactions. They applaud when a player performs an action that contributes to their team’s victory.
Witnesses in heaven are watching you.
Likewise, a multitude of witnesses in heaven are constantly watching to see if you do something that contributes to your entry into heaven after your life on earth.
Our Heavenly Father is watching you.
Furthermore, the eyes of our Heavenly Father are constantly upon you. He wants to see if, in the face of temptation, you will glorify the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus Christ chose to please God.
This truth beautifully demonstrated when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness. When faced with intense trials, Jesus won the ultimate battle over temptation. He opted to please God rather than yield to the devil. As a result, God was immensely pleased with Jesus and blessed Him, sending angels to protect Him.
Resist the temptations of this world.
In conclusion, God’s all-seeing gaze is always upon you, lovingly watching how you navigate the temptations of this world. He desires that you choose righteousness. Just as in the life of Jesus Christ, God is profoundly pleased when we too resist the worldly temptations we face daily.
When we stand firm in our faith, our later life will be better. As we actively choose God’s ways, Satan is forced to flee from us, and we are rewarded with the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.
Every time we overcome, we grow closer to God and we move a step nearer to entering heaven.
