Sin

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”  Romans 3:23

Sin is a subject that is not popular in today’s world.  The concept of sin brings along with it a lot of ideas that do not fit into the modern idea of life.  It declares that there is an absolute right and an absolute wrong.  It tells us that we are responsible for our actions.

But the idea of sin does not stop here.  As Christians we have a hope.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”  Romans 3:23-24

The hope we have as Christians and that we profess in the Creed every week is that there is forgiveness of sins.  That God has provided a way, through the sacrifice of Jesus, that even though we have fallen short of God, we can still approach God.

As we continue our Lenten journey, take time to ask God where sin still exists in your life.  Listen to Him, and ask Him for forgiveness and help to move away from sin.
