truth is that sin separates us from people close to us too. It affects our relationships destroying memories built over the years. In a world where we are supposed to create good lasting memories, sin paints it black.
In families, children are the greatest casualties of sin - directly or indirectly. As parents, it is not the lessons we teach our kids that they learn most but from the things we do. Grown ups are role models to the younger generation whether you like it or not. Being older is a responsibility you cannot evade. It comes with your age for as long as there are people younger than you and looking up to you.
Sometimes It makes me think if theology can cease a person to sin;
Sometimes it makes me wonder if religiousity can cease a person to sin;
Sometimes it makes me doubtful if raising your hand in church and all the Halleluiahs can cease a person to sin;
But one thing l’m certain of,
play with theology...
play with religiousity...
play “churchy-churchy”...
play with Halleluiahs...
and you are playing with your salvation.
In tagalog:
Kunwakunwaring kinikilala ang Diyos
Nagsisimba-simbahan...
Nagbabait-baitan...
Ang kaligtasan mo nagkukunwari-kunwarihan din at baka naglalangit-langitan ka lang.
The enemy came to Steal (Magnakaw), Kill (Pumatay) and Destroy (Manira).
So what now can truly cease a person to sin?
It is not a question of what but who. It is through a geniune relationship with Jesus. Jesus came to restore and give us new life.
It is not enough that we read the bible and know God. It is how we apply it. Take it seriously and consistently. A relationship with Jesus is a continuous walk and not a short-time love affair. It is a non-ending journey with Him until we finally meet Him in the final judgement. These will be the only words we will be longing to hear when that time comes, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
Have a blessed morning!
