I deliberately sinned yesterday, I chose to, of my own free will. My devotions smacked me in the head this morning, reminding me of my stupidity. The following is what I read...
If only we could see that every single sin is a big deal, that every sin is an act of rebellion and cosmic treason, that every time we choose our way instead of God's way, we are revolting against the God and King of the universe.
- NANCY LEIGH DEMOSS
YOUR CHOICE
Sin. Do we take it as seriously as we should?
Our world glosses over all kinds of behavior. But Nancy Leigh DeMoss would have us pull our heads out of the gray mist and realize that every single sin is a big deal. It is an act of treason against the King of the universe.
Sound a bit too dramatic? Then think for a moment that this very King send his Son to die so that we could draw close to God and know his will for us. In the face of that, when we choose our way instead of his, we are disobeying the One who gave his life for us. Instead, we should so desire to be close to God that we only want to choose his way.
The One who died for you wants what is good for you. The choice, moment by moment, is yours.
1 Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."
