How To Raise Your Chances Of Not Getting Murdered

A lot of crimes happen to people when they are being the wrong kind of people which then leads them to the wrong kind of places to meet the wrong kind of people.
Here is a couple who loves to spend their time in night clubs who then happen to chance upon another couple who are into thrill-killing. They invite them back home and then the crime happens.
Because they are being the wrong kind of people (they enjoy morally-compromising places) their wrong characters gravitated them to the wrong kind of places like night clubs. And there, chances are high, they would meet the wrong kind of people; which, in this case, is a couple who are into thrill-killing. The result? The wrong kind of happening --- they got murdered. This is a true story. And crimes of this sort are numerous in detective stories featured on TV.
How do you elude the wrong kind of people? Actually, no one can get away from the wrong kind of people 100% all the time. You will have to get out of this world for that to be possible.
However, there is a way to avoid the wrong kind of people TO A DEGREE. That is by not going into the wrong kind of places. But how do you get yourself not to go into these places?
Well, it's by having the right kind of heart. But how do you get such a heart?
Well, it's by being right with God. If you are right with God then you can be right with your self because God will give to people, who are right with Him, a new heart with a new nature with new desires.
Eze 18:31 "Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel?
Eze 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Ac 15:9 "and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith (in Christ Jesus).
How do you get right with God? By trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for salvation.
