What Is Wrong With A Little Sin?


My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘God is just in saving bad people only as He makes them good. Our Lord does not pretend we are all right when we are all wrong. The atonement by the Cross of Christ is the propitiation God uses to make unholy people holy.’ CHAMBERS
 
Why does God bother with us?  Why not just start over?  He could do it.  That is a mystery and at the same time a testimony of His great love for us.  Don’t ever think that there is something that you can do that will make the relationship right.  Have you ever heard someone say that about a problem? “What can we do to make this right”  There was some offense .. something was wrong and that person wanted to correct it.  If we ask that question about our broken relationship with God, the answer is “Nothing”.  The problem is so great .. so beyond us .. that there is nothing “we” can do to fix it.  Only Jesus can and He did!
 
After you become a Christian and you sin, you cannot find restoration through merely being sorry that you sinned, but only by pleading the blood of Jesus and repenting. 2 Corinthians 7:10 “Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.” Be careful that you do not think that, as a Christian, your sin does not matter.  Do not become content with what you consider to be an “acceptable” level of sin in your life.  You are the child of a HOLY God … our sin is a desecration of our relationship with the Father.
