Sin is sin (December 1 2015)

Testimony Time:-According to google search engine, sin is described as an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law. It does have standards and when it comes to measurement there is no in between because sin is sin. It is possible for humans to have another word for sin; the transgressions of the divine law they are willing and able to keep are set as standards against other precepts they are likely to have shunned. Immoral sexual activities, drinking alcohol, murder and backbiting may sound barbaric to such people. What of lying, cheating and covetousness? The act of taking what does not belong to you has no boundaries. How can you condemn one sin and you take pride in the other? No matter what, sin is sin and there is no other word to describe it. Romans 3:23 confirms the theory that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,". We can seek remission for our sins only if we acknowledge we are sinners or that we are very likely and also capable of fallen into some uninvited temptations. Alternatively too, one can choose to increase the feelings of guilt by simply walking around with the eye and mind of God syndrome; overtly denouncing everyone; purposely with godly eyes and in such manner that condemns sins they don't ordinarily commit at the expense of those that they robustly engage in. I therefore say to you that sin is sin and you can use any formula to dissect, reduce, adjust and or placate the word. The standards of measurement in the Kingdom of God is the same for what we consider minor sins as well as major ones. And if you are still walking tall with your self imposed standards, thinking you are not a murderer and have not committed any adultery; have you considered Proverbs 6:16-19"? The passage states- "there are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community". Therefore, and this new month, you can still make your relationship with God counts. Take the initiative and do away with all sinful acts; the benefits for keeping God's laws reside very much with us and not the other way round. May the blessing of today grant us the privilege to live and avoid all sinful acts in all we do in Jesus name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...
