When we read about sin or even think about it we automatically become uncomfortable. It is our default setting. We don’t like the subject and would like to talk about a thousand other more pleasant things, hadn’t we? Because we believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins it is something we must discuss because it exalts and magnifies His grace.
There is nothing on earth as vile and wicked as sin! I John 3:8 says “he is commits sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinned from the beginning.” Therefore, all sin is wicked and heinous. Sin has ruined our very nature. Let me tell you what sin has done to us:
Sin has completely ruined our nature.
Sin has brought us under the curse and judgment of God.
Sin is the source of all our miseries.
Sin has defiled your mind.
Sin has corrupted your will.
Sin has impacted your emotions.
Sin is the cause of every heartache.
Sin is the cause of every divorce.
Sin is the cause of every alcoholic and drug addict.
Sin is the cause of all wars.
Sin is the cause of every imprisonment.
Sin is the cause of all injustice.
Sin is why the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross. His very name, Jesus, means that “He will save His people from their sins.” See Matthew 1:21. Jesus died for sinners. And for that, I personally , am grateful.
