This is the life!
I have a great life, this is the life . . .
(expand on worldly)
I have a good life (as a Christian) - - - expand on this
Most of us want to have a good life, we want to live it, but it maybe hard in this world since the world wants to destroy, or lure us away from the good life that offers to us.
Sometimes blatantly, but oftentimes subtlety.
We need to protect the good life we have in Christ.

An Answer
Read Pro7:1-4
(Slide) Principle - Keep My commandments and live: interesting fact this phrase is used 4 times just in Proverbs alone, 3:1; 4:4, and our passage today 7:1 and 7:2 - I want to develop on this some more in just a minute

When we treasure something we store it up (or lay up); we also protect it.

(Slide) Keep My Commandments (vv. 1, 2)
(Slide) Jesus says if you love me keep my commandments (Jn14:15)

May we remember God sent the Christ so we can be free, and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ (Rom8:1) but that plan was recorded before (Slide) ()
Don’t think there is anywhere you can go and hide from God; for he know all things, sees all things and all things will be made known - (Slide)
Remember sin is looking to take the good life from you - (Slide)
Sin wants to separate you from God; and does -
