Sin will keep you from this Book. This Book will keep you from sin. --Dwight L. Moody
Romans 5:12, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Sin has been defined by so many; falling short, missing the mark are the two that come to my mind. Recently I heard this definition: Missing the right mark and hitting the wrong mark.” That gives us a whole different view on what sin is. No matter how hard we try, we will never hit the mark in and of ourselves. It is only by God’s marvelous Grace that we are able to hit the mark of God’s righteousness.
Society has its own view of what sin is. Mike Lester shares this with his Theology Classes:
Society calls sin an accident, God calls it an abomination.
Society calls sin a blunder, God calls it living in blindness.
Society calls sin a chance, God calls it a choice.
Society calls sin a defect, God calls it deviant and a disease.
Society calls sin an error, God calls it enmity.
Society calls sin a fascination, God calls it a fatality.
Society calls sin a mistake, God calls it madness.
Society calls sin a luxury, God calls it leprosy.
Society calls sin a trifle, God calls it a tragedy.
Society calls sin a weakness, God calls it wickedness.
Will you continue to have pleasure in sin? If so, know this Truth found in God’s Word, it will only be for a season and after that, you must stand and give an account of your life.
