II Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

In II Peter 2 believers are being warned to avoid  “playing the part” of a good Christian.

 

In our verse today we see one of the great dangers Christians must continually face, “the wages of unrighteousness”.

The bible teaches that there is pleasure in sin for a season.

 

We must be alert to this reality and guard our hearts, minds and lives.

Are we content with the consequences of doing right or are we seeking the pleasures that come from doing wrong?

 

Today let each of us examine the sincerity of our walk with God in light of our love for doing what is right and our hatred towards sin in every form.
