“An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. All the sin in the world can’t sink a Christian’s soul unless it gets inside.”
It starts with just a small drop…
-it’s just a movie.-It’s just a sports swimsuits magazine. -it’s just a joke. -it’s just a little flirting. It’s her fault she gave me the wrong change back. -I just tried it once. -it’s just one drink. I deserve more. -It’s just a text msg. -I can do a better job than him. -I didn’t intend for it to go this way… … …. … … …
Let’s guard our God given freedom. It is very easy to become desensitized to what the Bible calls sin. At the same time it is easy to blur the line between holiness and legalism. Freedom requires incredible selflessness and responsibility. Following Jesus is not for the faint of heart.
A ship under water began to sink when the first single drop got in the boat. Do you need to start bailing water out of your boat?
If necessary, start with 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us ours sins and purify us from all unrighteousness”. Keep your eyes on the eternal prize! Swim baby swim!!
