90 Days to Wholeness: A Porn Addiction Recovery Devotional for WomenSample

I love the clarity in which the psalmist defines sin here: 

“Against you, and you alone, I have sinned.”

Have you ever thought about your sin in this way? If you think about it, without a higher power of morality (in our case… God), sin would not exist. As philosopher Dostoyevsky has been attributed to saying, “without God everything is permissible.” There would be no measure of right or wrong.

That’s getting a little too philosophical for my pay grade, but I think you understand what I am saying. While the consequences of sin affect us and those around us in significant ways, our sin is ultimately against God alone.

Does looking at sin as against God alone change how you feel about your behavior? If so, in what way?
