The most boring class I ever attempted to take was a computer code class. I thought I’ll try to learn something new and try to fix computers and build websites like my father. This was something that I quickly realized was not my calling nor skill, I did not last long. Computer coding is what makes it possible for us to create computer software, apps and websites. your browser, your OS, the apps on your phone, facebook, and this website – they’re all made with code. Computer code tells the computer what to do, and how to do it and when to do it. There is no computer without code, a computer can be beautiful on the outside but if the coding is not right it becomes worthless. The old saying still remains true “Never judge a book by its cover”.

Not all computer code is good. There is a such thing as a computer virus. A virus is a piece of code that is capable of copying itself and typically has a detrimental effect, such as corrupting the system or destroying data. The longer a virus remains on a computer the harder it is to get the virus off.  Viruses are extremely easy to get catch but hard to get off and can be very expensive to remove. There are many ways to get a computer infected with a virus the most common ways are opening e-mail attachments, visiting unknown links, not running the latest updates, pirating software, music, or movies.

The good news here is that there an antivirus out there. An antivirus is a computer software used to prevent, detect and remove malicious software. The antivirus software can be applied after a virus has infected a computer. But it would be better to load before a virus has a chance to infect because it can detect a virus before it has a chance to spread.

I said all that to say this as human beings we have a code in is. The code that should be making us run correctly and helping us reach our full potential is the Christian code which is a set of very basic rules that you should adapt to everyday living. In order to get this code, you have to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior. We have to be careful because the world we live in is a virus it is corrupted and trying to infect us with a sin virus. Once sin infects us it tries to copy itself on to every aspect of our life, it tries to take over our life and it tries to rewrite the code that is already built in.

God has given us an antivirus to help us get rid of our sin virus. The only thing that can get rid of a sin virus is the word of God. There is a lot of sins but there is only one Christian code, there are many ways to get corrupted but only one way to get clean. Trust in Jesus and apply the Christian code antivirus to your life.
