Sometimes I think 'What can be the worst thing in life?" Probable you can say its just a simple question which needs a simple answer. Is that so. OK!!! the worst thing is to live a life which is a lie. A life without Christ, beleiving in other foreign gods, when He is there for you.

Then where is the risk there? The risk is that Satan the father of all lies will tell you that there in no Jesus. That one is a peril on its on. Let me asure you today, just look around you, what do you see? Do you think it just boomed from nowhere? Definitely someone is behind its creation. Someone who knows your thoughts. Ok lets get to another one...Brethren who are in Christ Jesus, lets arise and open our spiritual eyes and eyes. The Devil is there out there looking for you like a hungry lion looking for a buck.
In fact, Satan's greatest success for those of us who are IN Christ Jesus is to get us to believe his lies. The less we know about God's Word (The Holy Bible; especially the New Testament), the easier it is for him to get us to believe his lies. The less we know about how to understand and correctly APPLY God's Word the easier it is for Satan to get us to believe his lies. Satan is constantly trying to convince people that the Bible cannot be trusted, and/or it is necessary to go to sources other than the Bible to learn how we are to please God.
The less we know about our position IN Christ Jesus, the easier it is for Satan to keep us bound in emotional and spiritual prisons we may not ever realize we're IN, let alone know God wants us to be freed from.
Seeking God with everything in you to receive revelation and understanding of who God the Father says you are IN Christ Jesus will greatly hinder Satan and his demons from keeping you locked up in emotional and spiritual prisons that God doesn't want you to be in and/or remain in.
Knowing fully who you are in Christ Jesus will make you much more "fully armed and dangerous" in the Army of our Lord and Savior, whose precious name is Jesus Christ.
It will also hinder Satan greatly from messing with your mind, because your mind is the primary battle ground where peace and joy in your relationship with God is gained ... or lost.
Now then ... If you have decided to believe that God paid full penalty for your sins by dying on the cross - taking full punishment for your sins so that your sins are forgiven forever and will not be held against you on the Judgment Day ... do you KNOW that God the Father says "You are NOW the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus"?
Follower of Jesus Christ, that is NO small, insignificant matter! As a matter of fact, it is a fact of HUGE importance! What this fully implies is that in one moment in time, when Christ rose from the dead and ascended back into glory, as a believer in Him, God the Father declared you as legally holy and righteous as you can possibly ever BE! You are NOW 100% justified to receive forgiveness for sins, and to start receiving eternal life from God.
(Which NOW means you're to keep diligently striving to live UP to it - because you STILL have your fallen sin-nature that wants its way! The only difference is NOW you have the power of God to help you STOP sinning ... and sin does have its consequences to various degrees in this life; ask any Christian spending time in prison for one or more crimes they were truly guilty of. Though God has forgiven them of those crimes and they won't be - aren't now - held against them by Him, the LAW here on earth says: "Pay up for them!").
For He (the Father) made Him (Jesus Christ) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God (the Father) in Him (Jesus Christ). (2 Corinthians 5:21)
