Good Thingsናሙና

Have you ever asked a toddler to help you with some sort of chore? They always seem to have a . . . "creative" way of doing the complete opposite! Suddenly, a simple task that would have taken you ten minutes has now taken up much of your afternoon. That's what sin is like. Sin is doing the opposite of what God wants. And just like that chore that has to be done twice after you get a little one involved, sin comes with a cost.

Sin doesn't only defy God; it also harms us.  Jesus came to live a life of honor, die for humanity as a sign of love, and forgive all the sins ever committed. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, we receive healing, wholeness and restore our relationship with God. When we choose to live by God's plan, we get to live life with Jesus now and forever in Heaven. Jesus' life was the greatest gift God could have given. His life showed what it means to love God and love others. Jesus completes God's plan.

Have you seen the direct consequence to sin in your life?
