SEEING SIN FOR WHAT IT IS

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."  (Romans 3:23-24 NIV)

Don’t call it a mistake, an unfortunate choice, a slipup, a disease, an addiction, a boo-boo, or “my bad.” Call it sin.

Around 1,600 years ago, Augustine wrote in his “Confessions,” “My sin was all the more incurable because I did not think myself a sinner.” That’s why preachers need that word that tells a vast story in only three letters. Without seeing the depths of sin, we’ll never understand the heights of God’s love and grace. 

-- Kyle Idleman in “The End of Me”
