This warning is based on John 18: 1-18, verse 18 is the main verse which reads, “It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself”. This was just after Jesus was arrested and Peter had just denied Jesus for the first time. It’s important that you take this warning seriously and keep it in your mind as long as possible because you might end up in a situation similar to that of peter.
Peter must be an example for us. Many times we think we are strong enough to withstand temptation and that by ‘Just’ standing(Getting advice) with non-Christian friends and ‘just’ listening to Non- Christian music(the sensual kind) because it has a nice beat or cool cars in it we won’t fall. When we do that we are just like Peter who innocently stood with the enemies of Christ and ended up denying our saviour As we go out to do what we do let’s not forget that we should not be yoked with unbelievers lest we end up compromising our faith and have a bad testimony. Philippians 3:18(NIV), “For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.” We see that there are enemies of the cross who we should clearly avoid AND the most important text 1 Corinthians 10:12 NIV “So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!”
