SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 WHY IS SIN SO ATTRACTIVE?

1 John 3:4 – 6 “Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.”

Today news media and social media are filled with horrible images of young people rioting and throwing molotov cocktails. There have also been photos of mobs bearing signs demanding that God leave a given area. These events are both tragic and ridiculous – tragic because of the damage that is done and ricidulous because it is impossible to demand that the Creator of the Universe leave His creation.

Jesus told his followers that they would know whether someone was righteous or not by the fruit the person bore. Good trees bear good fruit. Bad trees bear bad fruit.

In the end, the main thing that matters is this: will you tell God “Thy will be done,” and follow Him, or will God say to you, “Thy will be done.” For if God leaves you to your own will, you are choosing lawlessness and sin and spiritual death. The choice is yours. Which will you choose?

PRAYER: Lord, we believe. Help our unbelief! We are lost and are not even sure how to choose you, but we do want eternal life with you. We confess that we are sinners and cannot free ourselves. Lord, please deliver us from our sins and hep us to follow you all the days of our lives. Amen.
