WRETCHED?
No human being is happy doing what is
wrong. We are not fashioned to live in sin. It is only the temporary passing
pleasure called temptation that gets us. But immediately or soon after, the
smile of satisfaction leaves our faces.
"Would your countenance not be bright
if you had done what is right?" (Gen. 4)
We plunge into terrible feelings of
worthlessness and contradiction whenever we lose control and do what we know to
be wrong.
"O wretched man that I am. Who will
save me from this body of death?" (Rom. 7:24)
In order for us to live free from the pain
of repeating the agony-inflicting acts of sin, God gave us Christ, our Savior
and Standard.
"Thanks be to God, through Christ
Jesus." (Rom. 7:25)
Forget those assertions that pretend that
our default setting is joyful sinfulness! We remain made in the image of God,
and will NEVER BE PEACEFUL IN SIN.
Turn to Jesus and live.
#Luke2447
