Sin is Sin
In our society, it’s easy to compare what we do with what others do but the reality is that sin is sin no matter how you define it, excuse it or explain it away. It may not seem easy to live a holy life but the truth is you can’t afford not to. The Cathedrals sang a song which said, “Sin will take you farther than you want to go, slowly but wholly taking control. Sin will leave you longer than you want to stay. Sin will cost you far more than you want to pay.” That is so true.
Talk with anyone who’s lived for any length of time, and they will tell you of things they’ve learned, much of which will be advice on what not to do. Everyone has regrets but, as Christians, we need to learn to live with very few regrets.
As I was praying this morning, I was thinking of how my greatest desire is for my Father to be proud of me. I want to feel Him by me each step of the way. God cannot look upon sin so I pray that He will continue to show me the things in my life that displease Him so that I can discard them. Sin may seem pleasurable for a time but the end results in death and separation from my Father. No amount of temporary pleasure is worth that separation.
How would you rate your life? Is it full of joy and victory, or is it marred by sin and despair? It’s not too late to turn to God and ask Him to change your life. I encourage you to do so before it is too late.
