Can you recognize right away when your life isn’t in step with the Gospel? When God shines Spiritual light and truth on the sin in your life do you look away, or do you confess your wrongdoing? Sin is so subtle, so cunning and crafty that we can be duped into false beliefs very easily. It misleads us by purring in our ear that what we’re doing “isn’t that bad” or that “everyone else is doing it”…but in reality, that sin is leading us towards Spiritual death and breaking God’s Laws. Sin has to be recognized for what it is…sin…not glossed over, or sugar coated, or called by another name…sin is sin. John wrote in I John 4:6 how to easily recognize when deception has infiltrated our life, “We are from God , and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of falsehood.”
