Sin

Many of us do not realize that sin kills the soul. Sin kills God Himself. Many love to cling to their sins. We must always meditate seriously about the nature of sin and its effect in our lives. If we sincerely do this, we will learn to have such a hatred for sin that we will cease to commit it.

God created us to be happy and at peace. He gives us His commandments not to be a burden, but to bring us happiness and peace. Unfortunately, many choose unhappiness. Many choose to turn away from God and give themselves over to Satan. We commit sin and soon find ourselves not knowing how to extricate ourselves from it. We lose sight of how nothing is more important than the state of our souls!

Many go to confession and still are not converted because they feel no true contrition for their sins. Our sins crucify our Lord all over again and we feel no contrition! The saints all understood how much sin offends God. They spent most of their lives weeping for their sins!

Let us make our prayer to God a petition that we will amend our lives and feel true contrition for our sins against God!

Sincerely in Christ,

Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
