Romans 1:18-33 Sin

Sin is not a non-present evil that we really don't have to deal with. It is ever present. It works it's way through the whole of our lives. There is no amount of sin that we can accept as the way we are. This is not a finger point, but let's look into our own hearts and root out the sin that causes us to be misaligned with God. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
