It occasionally crosses my mind why I don't sin more often if I have saving grace. God loves to forgive so shouldn't I just be complacent with my self indulgent living? I guess my answer to that is that I will never truly understand the depth of grace if I don't understand the seriousness of my sin, and the ironic thing is that I never will. Jesus death shows me the incomprehensible seriousness and offence of sin. I reckon the most I can do is just acknowledge and accept it, gratefully. I'm a christian not because I cannot sin but rather I am no longer a slave to sin. I belong to God.
Prayer/response:
- that Patrick would continue in his pursuit of you.
- put myself in check with scripture. Not become legalistic and fight sin through grace
