2 Sam 11:1-16
Sin is a thief and robs your intimacy with God. It is deceptive. The danger of sin is that it appears to be innocent. Do not become complacent with sin. As followers of Christ if we don’t deal with sin it will hinder our spiritual growth. Sin begins when we drift from our assignment. When we abandon our place of obedience. Not every thought deserves our attention. We must be vigilant in dealing with sin. Sin always demands more than you intend to give. People often think that sin can be managed, controlled, contained but it always demands more. The enemy wants to disrupt our relationship with God. God wants to offer restoration. God calls us back into His Presence. Sin never affects only the sinner. It blinds us to our own condition. Many of us are comfortable when people affirm us, but spiritual maturity comes when we receive when they correct us. When God loves you He will not leave you to your own devices. Don’t be quick to dismiss a “Nathan” in your life. God’s grace is greater than our greatest failure. The purpose of understanding sin is our need for a Savior. We overcome sin by bringing it into the light of the ONE who can restore us.
