Sin

Does sin really mean anything anymore? Does it have a lasting impact on us, to make us try to steer way from it or do we sin, just because we are forgiven for it already?

Jesus went to the cross to save us from our sin, He hung there dying for the sin that we take so easily, we do it without even thinking about it, without thinking of the impact it had on Him. Can you imagine changing our thought process from well it is just a little lie or a little complaint, and start thinking that was the nail that penetrated Jesus's hand. It was the crown of thorns that hung on Jesus's head, the sin is every single drop of blood that fell from Jesus, so that we can walk a new life. Our sin, hung on the cross with Him and when we are complacent about sin, we are complacent about what Jesus did for us. There is no small sin, when you realize what Jesus did for us, when you think about Him hanging there so that we could live in forgiveness.

Next time you think it is just a little sin, think about what Jesus did to forgive us of that sin. What He did for you and me, was nothing to take lightly, nothing to take forgranted. He died so that we may live in freedom.

Sin is an act of rebellion against God. In 1 John 3:4 "Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness." He has given us so much and every time we sin, we spit in Jesus's face. We are no better than the crowd that taunted Him, spit at Him, called Him names, we know it is wrong, but do it anyhow. When we sin, we are being rebellious against God, we are doing the very thing that grieves God, isn't it time to stop grieving God and start living the life He calls us to?
