Our first problem is that our attitude toward sin is more self-centered than God-centered. We are more concerned about our own ‘victory’ over sin than we are about the fact that our sins grieve the heart of God. We cannot tolerate failure in our struggle with sin chiefly because we are success-oriented, not because we know it is offensive to God.
W. S. Plumer said, ‘We never see sin aright until we see it as against God … All sin is against God in this sense: that it is His law that is broken, His authority that is despised, His government that is set at naught … Pharaoh and Balaam, Saul and Judas each said, ‘I have sinned’; but the returning prodigal said, ‘I have sinned against heaven and before thee; and David said, “Against Thee, Thee only have I sinned.”
This is an excerpt from some sermon notes of Dwayne Roberts (from the leadership team of IHOP). This paragraph was a “Goliath moment” for me; it hit me right between the eyeballs.
Good stuff. It all comes back to our heart motives, doesn’t it? God sees our heart, not just the good things we say or do…
Good way of explaining, and fastidious piece of writing to obtain facts regarding my presentation subject, which i am going to convey in college.
