Sin. It's such a common word, especially in the Christian culture. Even though it's a little word in the dictionary, it's a very big word in our lives and how God views us as a people. Each and every person who has ever lived on earth, except for Jesus Christ, has sinned. We are all born into sin.

Sin. It's such a common word, especially in the Christian culture. Even though it's a little word in the dictionary, it's a very big word in our lives and how God views us as a people. Each and every person who has ever lived on earth, except for Jesus Christ, has sinned. We are all born into sin. Although our human nature doesn't like to consider ourselves as sinners and we often struggle with calling ourselves sinners, it's a fact of life that we can't ignore. What do we do about sin? Do we try to deny or hide from the fact that we sin? Do we admit to ourselves that we sin? Do we look on our sins as not so bad compared to other people's? Do we feel guilty about our sin or only regret the sin when we've been caught? Do we enjoy the sin and not want to give it up? Do we think of sin as really bad or just what everyone does, and it's a part of life? Merriam-Webster's Dictionary calls sin "reprehensible." If a dictionary gives the meaning of sin as something so horrible sounding, what in the world does our God who is Holy, think about sin? Has our prayer life become stagnant because of our sin? Can we actually separate ourselves from a loving Father because of our sin? Even when Christ lives in us and His blood has washed away our sin, we still sin and will until the day we pass from this earth. How do we draw closer to God when we know that we have sinned and haven't repented?
