The sinful nature of man scares me.
The extent and depth of evil and lust and all things worldly we are fully capable of. On the exterior, we’ve been so crafted in hiding it and making ourselves appear so righteous to others.
For Christians, we are equally capable of that as well. Despite the every Sunday gg to church, despite gg for bible study groups, or attending prayer conference, if have not truly repented and surrender our lives to God, we are so susceptible to temptations and falling to them.
Today I learned of someone who despite so many years of going to church and serving and doing all things church-y such as even doing QT everyday, falls to pride, lust, adultery and alcoholism. And it has hurt his family, friends and the disciples under his care so much. What betrayal!!
Even then, I know our God who has been betrayed worse has the agape love in Him to forgive all of us.. each and everyone of us… again and again. And so,
I will attempt not to judge and to forgive him as well, and to view myself as a person evil and sinful, and not one any better or more righteous as him.
