We must break and put an end to all of our bad habits since the Lord is holy in himself. With our bad habits, we cannot have communion with the Lord. Since we are all sinners and are therefore unable to enjoy fellowship with God, the Lord himself prepared a method for us to do so.
We should repent and change our ways from sins and we will have the privilege to walk with God. Let’s listen to what God has to say about quitting bad behaviors. By giving up our bad habits, we can progressively change.
Here are a few verses from the Bible that will encourage you to cease engaging in unhealthy habits so that God can be praised. To become a good and holy child of God, let’s read and reflect on them.
