The Sinfulness of Sin

I am currently reading a book by John Bunyan called "The Pilgrims Progress" and it is incredible. It is said to be the greatest allegory ever written and since it is the first allegory i have ever read i think i will stop after the best. I would hate to be dissappointed.

Anyways, God showed me something while i was reading this book the other day. Read this:

"CHRISTIAN: Sir, what think you? Is there any hope? May I now go back, and go up to the wicket-gate? Shall I not be abandoned for this, and sent back from thence ashamed? I am sorry I have hearkened to this man’s counsel; but may my sin be forgiven?
EVANGELIST: Then said Evangelist to him, Thy sin is very great, for by it thou hast committed two evils: thou hast forsaken the way that is good, to tread in forbidden paths. Yet will the man at the gate receive thee, for he has good-will for men; only, said he, take heed that thou turn not aside again, lest thou “perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.” Psalm 2:12."

What evangelist says to christian here is so crazy to me. When you and i sin we just count it as one little thing but what if every time we do something wrong we have committed more than just one sin against God.

We have become so numb to sin that we neither recognize it nor are grieved by it. Pray that God will give you a sensitivity to sin like you have never had before. I am not talking about things like murder and rape, i am talking about things like watching movies with cursing or music that does not glorify God. Remember that if you are not sensitive to sin then you are lost according to 1 John.

WALK IN A MANNER WORTHY OF THE GOSPEL.

I love you
