Continual and unrepented sin causes us to lose the ability to recognize our sin. It becomes a cancer which causes our heart to turn cold and dark, unable to even hear the conviction of the Holy Spirit; "For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened" Romans 1:21.
Sin clouds our vision and causes us to drift further and further from God's path.
The people of Jerusalem could no longer recognize their sin - they stood before God in their wickedness and boldly asked: "What wrong have we done?" Today, we are at risk of becoming equally darkened anytime we fail to address the sin which continues to push into our lives.
What activities have we begun to tolerate?
What behaviors have we begun to accept?
What "teachings" from the modern media have we begun to receive?
What sin has begun to fill our heart?
If our eyes were truly opened, would we be surprised to see how far we have compromised and strayed? Let's recommit our lives to holiness, purity, worship, and absolute love for God. Let's allow His light to indwell EVERY area of our life.
Let's repent of our sin and refuse to live with a darkened heart.
