Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God. And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.
– 1 John 3:4-5 (NLT)
SIN IS BREAKING GOD’S LAW
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know the laws of the Lord?
Are you following them or do you uphold?
Anyone who breaks his commands is sinning
For all sin is always against the law and contradicting.
Jesus became human to take away our sins
He wants us to conquer it and be free
Guard your mind and hearts from corruption
Live his word so you can receive salvation.
There are many Christians who justify their sins. They call it mistakes or blame it on a circumstance or someone. They do not take responsibility for what law they broke and they continue to hide it. When they do this, they open the door for the enemy to just barge in and tempt them to sin more. So, one sin leads to another and then another. The only way to break sin is by allowing the Holy Spirit to convict us, repent, confess the sin and ask forgiveness.
The bible tells us that everyone who sins is breaking God’s law. All sins are contrary to the commands of God. Jesus came so we can be freed from our sin nature.
PRAYER
Lord, convict me when I sin.
REFLECTION
What stops you from acknowledging your sins?
