So often we forget that SIN in any form no matter what the action, SIN is rebellion against God. Every single sin, every single time is a rebellion against God.
How often do we forget that? Water it down?
The Definition from the Oxford Language which is Googles Dictionary:
an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.
An act considered to be a transgression against Divine Law. SIN.
Sin is the act of rebelling against God and His Word, His Rules, His Holiness.
How far we have come from that definition.
We now call it sickness, disease, the way I was made, a defect.
Rather than an intentional act against God and His Law.
Christian remember this applies to you as well, not just the world. Your sin, your transgression of God's law, no matter how small it is in your opinion. is sin.
How do we get back to this?
We preach God and His Law, His standard, His Rules, His Holiness, and His Purity.
We preach the price He paid that we might escape death and the punishment for those sins.
We preach that His Holiness, imputed to us, is all the hope we have for life and freedom from the sin debt.
We preach living to His Standard, Being Holy as He is Holy for we are bought with a price. We are owned by Him yet accepted in as Sons and Daughters. What grace!
Carrying the family name, carrying that reputation, that Purpose, then we must live as pure as we possibly can for Him so that they might see Him through us and want to be with Him, the One that died for them.
God the Father, the lover of their souls, the perfect Sacrifice, the Just, The Alpha and the Omega.
He is all, we are merely here to further His Will. What is His Will?
That ALL might come to repentance.
How can we do that when we are slaves to sin? How can we represent Him when we are in the muck and mire of this World's life? When we are in the pigpen next to them?
The Christian will SIN, no doubt about that.
Yet, A True child of God Will not be able to stay there.
