What sin is

What sin is – Fifty Eight

     Sin is a force within man that will master us if we do not master it.  It is more than will, intellect or emotions.  It is the innate desire towards evil.   We were born with it and will struggle against it even after  our salvation.  It is our greatest enemy.  It leads to death and separation from God.  Man values it, God hates it. 

     Man calls sin an infirmity but God calls it an iniquity.  Iniquity is habitual sin, one that you really do not want to be free from.  Man calls sin a luxury.  Greed, materialism and the love of money are some of its examples.  God call sin leprosy.  As leprosy sin causes scars and deformation.  Man calls sin a liberty, God calls it lawlessness.  Sin enslaves, binds and destroys.  Man calls sin a trifle, something that does not always bring bad results.  God calls sin a tragedy.  It will leave terrible and tragic results not only to ourselves but the generations that follow.  Sin is a generational curse only broken through salvation.

     Man calls sin a mistake.  One we should not give into but not serious.  God calls it madness.  Only mad men keep on its path when shown the truth.  Man calls sin a weakness, God calls it willfulness.  We willingly sin.  Mankind loves sin.  We do it many times a day.  God knows our heart and tells us there is freedom from sin, guilt and the grave.  Today turn to Jesus Christ.  Let Him cleanse you from all sin and give you knew life.  To not do so is madness.
