It is not about living a narcissistic lifestyle. It is not about cheating, lying, stealing, or a lack of loyalty or honor. It is not even about murder. Jesus' death absolved all of our sins once and for all. The condemning nature of sin comes when we flaunt this nature before God and refuse to change our ways. Each time we give in to temptation, our heart hardens just a little more. After time, we grow so cold, we no longer can recognize our nature as sinful. Desiring God above all things, frees us from these temptations. In His love, we are strengthened in faith and fortified to change our lives to honor our Savior. Jesus has paid the price for our sins. It is up to us to choose Him over them.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. - Psalm 51:17
