Is Compromise Worth It?

What is compromise? Compromise is know there is something better, and still choosing the lesser of the two. If you act one way around certain people and another way around another group of people, then you are compromising your lifestyle to fit into the world. If you say one thing then do something else, you are compromising. Most people call these incidents "little white lies." Well in Proverbs 4:24 (message version) the Bible tells us, "Don't talk out both sides of your mouth, avoid careless banter (teasing), white lies, and gossip." So, those little white lies turn into huge doors. Creating these doors is an invite for the devil to come in and have his way with you. So, is any form of lying worth going through unnecessary trials from the enemy?

If this isn't enough to make you stop compromising; here's something else to think about. In James 4:4 (NIV) the Bible tells us, " Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God." If you compromise your lifestyle to be friends with the world; doing things the world does such as: partying, doing things to please other people, disrespecting people, talking badly about people, deceiving people, etc.; then you are an enemy of God. So, is compromising who you are in Christ worth becoming and enemy of God and losing your destiny?

You see it's different when you know nothing about Christ or His word, then the world is all you know. But when you know the Word, and still choose to live like the world; then you are spitting in Jesus' face, and saying I don't want what you have to offer me. You are putting Him right back on the cross, and saying what you did wasn't good enough for me to give you 100% of my life.

So wight all that being said, my final question is; IS COMPROMISING WORTH YOUR LIFE?
