Obey God because you are his children. Don't slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn't know any better then.
During our moments of pain and suffering, we need to concentrate our efforts on behaving the way our Lord behaved during His moments of pain and suffering. Despite the torture at the hands of unfair prosecution, Christ remained obedient to His Father's will and to the teachings of the scriptures. Life might seem unfair at times, but life isn't about all things being fair. Life is about knowing and doing what's right and fulfilling our purpose set for us by God. After all, God already knows what's best and right for us. As believers in Christ, we have an obligation to this because the Word teaches us in James 4:17, “that knowing what is right to do and then not doing it is sin.” It's interesting that backsliding comes in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes you wouldn't even realize that you had begun to knowingly not do what is right to do.
