Computers and anti-virus software

Many of us have computers or laptops that we use for business and entertainment. We install strong anti-virus software to curb viruses entering into our computer. If anti-virus is not installed, any sort of virus can attack our computer and will collapse our operating system. We may have to lose data and our precious works. How preciously we are protecting our computer from external evils so that we can work without any interruption.

I just want to compare this with our life. Our life is like a computer and Jesus is our anti-virus software. He will protect us from all sorts of viruses i.e. evil, wickedness, sin etc. As we scan our computer for any infected files so as to fix it, we also need to scan our heart, mind and soul with the word of God. In Psalms 139:23, 24….the Psalmist says “Search me, o God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. In Jer 17: verse 9 says ‘The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure Who can understand it?

When we scan our life with the word, surely we can avoid from folly, compromising the world and from sin. Jesus is our anti-virus software who will give us a pure conscience, who will protect us from falling and who will bless us to lead a Holy life
