Sin Is Wrong, Not Because Of What

When We Commit Ourselves To The Pursuit Of Holiness, We Need To Ensure That Our Commitment Is Actually To God, Not Simply To A Holy Lifestyle Or A Set Of Moral Values ... Offer Yourselves To God, And In Doing That Commit Yourselves To The Pursuit Of Holiness In Order To Please Him.

If There Is Not At Least A Yearning In Our Hearts To Live A Holy Life Pleasing To God, We Need To Seriously Question Whether Our Faith In Christ Is Genuine.

The Assurance Of His Total Forgiveness Of Our Sins Through The Blood Of Christ Means We Don't Have To Play Defensive Games Anymore. We Don't Have To Rationalize And Excuse Our Sins. We Can Call Sin Exactly What It Is, Regardless Of How Ugly And Shameful It May Be, Because We Know That Jesus Bore That Sin In His Body On The Cross.

So Often We Try To Develop Christian Character And Conduct Without Taking The Time To Develop God-centered Devotion. We Try To Please God Without Taking The Time To Walk With Him And Develop A Relationship With Him. This Is Impossible To Do.

Not Only Has The Debt (of Our Sins) Been Fully Paid, There Is No Possibility Of Ever Going Into Debt Again.
