We are studying the book of Dueteronomy in church on Sunday's. It has been a rich blessing to understand more about the laws of God and how each one applies to our lives today and always.
One text recently was from Dueteronomy 23. It speaks of how there is not to be uncleanness before God in any way. One example / application given of the passage was when we talk of movies, books, tv, or anything and our response is "Hey, you should watch/read this or that. It just has one scene / bad word. It's really not that bad." How "bad" must something be before we flee?
Oh, that we could see as God sees and hate sin as God hates sin. We have so deadened ourselves to sin, that we expect and accept sin based on the fact that there's not that much.
Is that not why Christ died for us. To cover ALL our sins.
Any sin, no matter how little in the eyes of man, is enough to separate from God forever in the pit of hell. And all our goodness in man's eyes is not enough to get us to heaven - they are as "filthy rags".
The sermon brought back to rememberence a sermon I read from CH Spurgeon last year. It is entitled: Little Sins .
