Sin has been on my mind a lot recently. Especially experiencing more of my own throughout this term.
Sin, Greek archery term meaning missing the mark.
Sin, it is part of human nature. Everybody has it, nobody likes it, let alone wanting to admit they are sinners.
Sin, falling short of God's glory. Not due to actions, but passed down from generation to generation.
Sin, our impatience, envy, cruelty, selfishness, laziness, deceitful motives, lies, lack of trust, critical attitude, making our hearts hard and cold, imprisoning us. We are prisoners awaiting a death sentence.
The root cause of this sickness is our rebellion towards God. Blessed are those who realize this brokenness and mourn. Pitiful are those who are blind to their own sin, thinking they are perfect and healthy.
A Christian confesses his/her own sin before God and embraces Christ through grace. Not bringing their own deeds or performance to Christ, but holds on to Him with their dear life.
Blessed are you if you realize your spiritual poverty. For Christ is all you have, and the kingdom of heaven is yours.
