Lawlessness

"Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness" (I John 3:4 NKJV). What is sin? Does sin vary between every individual? Sin comes in all shapes and sizes depending on the individual. It always stands against the Word of God. It comes against the will of God and will not stop until it is satisfied. It will take one where they never thought they would go. Those bound by sin will do things they never thought they would do, even in their wildest imaginations. Sin will leave them there hoping for more and unsatisfied, only to find themselves desperate and wanting more. Sin has no boundaries. It will keep on wanting and taking all it can get from those it has bound. In reality, sin is never satisfied except for only the few seconds that one is caught in it. If one begins to practice and continue in sin, one will find themselves in disobedience and rebellion against God and His Word. They begin to walk in their own independence, under their own will, and into dark judgment. While God will not stop anyone in their sin, He is not the author of sin. He has given us a Savior to save us from all sin. Jesus Christ is the solution, and His blood washes away all our sin. "And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin" (vs.5). Glory to God for His son Jesus, who takes away our sin. Be aware of sin, for it is determined to be in control. God bless you. Amen
