Grace to stop being pushed into sin by others
Sometimes people like our boss, family and friends can tell us to do something wrong. If we do it, we could go to hell. Yes, we should submit to authority but with wisdom. If your president tells you to receive the mark of the beast, would you take it? If your father tells you to join him in armed robbery, would you do it?
Whether the sin you are told to do is just a lie or to murder, God will still send you to hell.
The Bible says- Hebrews 10- If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and raging fire that will consume all adversaries. Anyone who rejected the Law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?.
This means Christians that are still sinning intentionally would go to hell if they don’t stop sinning.
However, God will forgive you from intentional sin if you repent from intentional sin like he did David when he sinned with Bathsheba. God never changes.
If you are afraid God wont forgive you because you sinned intentionally, don’t worry because God is a merciful God. It is God who makes us do his will so as long as you are doing his will, it means he is making you do his will and he has forgiven you. Philippians 2:13-For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Also in the New Testament, under the new covenant, he forgave a Christian who was sexually immoral. 1 Corinthians 5:- 1It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.


But after the sexually immoral Christain repented Paul said in 2 Corinthians 2- 6Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. 7So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 8Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

What can we do then to not be pushed into sin?
As Christians we are not supposed to sin against God but sometimes our friends, family or elders can tell to do something wrong. What would you do if your boss tells you to lie on a document?
Many Nigerians are poor so it would be difficult for them to say no. I mean, your wife and kids need your salary so how can you refuse your boss?
God loves us. He doesn’t want us to sin against him. The bible says that God would always provide a way out of every temptation.
A Christian woman was told by her boss to do something wrong and though she was worried about losing her job, she told him no and guess what? The boss still kept her and treated her with respect.
I heard a story of a Christian couple really needed money and the husband went for a job interview but was told he would have to sin on the job if he took the job. He went home and talked to his wife about it and they decided to refuse the job. But the people then said it was only a test and gave him the job
It is only a temptation. Satan would love for us to sin but if we resist, we would be blessed by God. Even if we are beaten and killed like Jesus was, we should be happy because the bible says – Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven
Do you know Jesus resisted temptation from Satan with the Word of God? We are told to take up the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.
So if Satan tempts people to push you to sin, do this
You resist with the Word of God-Daniel was told not to pray but he still prayed and when he was cast into the lion’s den, God saved him.
Also Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were told to worship the golden image. They said God is able to deliver them but if not, they would still not serve the golden image. God saved them.

Satan tempts us to fear-We resist with-It is written- God will never leave and forsake us.
