FLEE FROM SIN
Sirach 21:1-3 (not in Protestant Bible)
My son, have you sinned?
No longer add to them, but pray about your former sins.
Flee from sin as you would from the presence of a snake,
For if you approach it, it will bite you;
Its teeth are like lion’s teeth, destroying the souls of men.
All lawlessness is like a two-edged sword,
For there is no healing from its wound.
Personal Challenge
We all are encouraged to run away from sin. We all encounter temptations throughout our lives. We need to develop the spiritual muscles to flee whenever temptations come at us. Sin will come between us and God as well as us and our neighbor. As followers of Christ we are blessed with His mercy, love, and forgiveness when we confess our sins. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
