Not Bad, but Evil. |
Don't call sin bad. I can get a bad haircut, but sin isn't bad, it's evil. Call the sin you do "evil" Let your conscience drink in that truth, and don't squirm out from under it. Sin is evil, and every time you sin, you bring more of it (evil) into the world.
You need to be saved from it, and not merely in it.
We all know that sin is evil, but somehow, when it comes to our sin, then sin is just a mistake, or a bad habit. We gotta stop playing games like that. Call sin evil, meditate on what evil really is, and allow the weight of your participation in it to affect your conscience. You will need a tender conscience if you ever hope to battle evil.
Don't look at the world and image it became evil without your help.Labels: sin is evil |

That last sentence, "Don't look at the world and imagine it became evil without your help." is brilliant. I can't begin to count the times I've heard people blame society for their problems, as if they are a separate entity from society. If everyone could see this truth, it would be a good first step.
Thanks for focusing my thoughts on this today.

Jennifer, Welcome to the blog, and thanks for the comment. The problem with evil is we pretend it is just bad - that way when we do evil, we can still imagine we are good.
