Sin is just as deceptive as rat poison and just as deadly as cancer. It is not the size of the sin or frequency of the sin, it is just sin. We all are filled with it and it can go undetected for years before its deadly consequences become known to us. Some never come to realize the deadly affects of sin before they die, which is too late for them to do anything about it.
Romans 3:23 …for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Many think, erroneously, that a little sin can’t kill you. They are wrong. The Bible has no category for labeling any sin as little or letting anyone think any sin is okay with God, because it is not.
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
Sin is not relegated only to the things you do, it also covers the things you don’t do, but should do.
James 4:17Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
It the world of retail and products, the consumer is often warned by labels. These labels are intended to be a real warning as to use, danger, risks, or side effects. Companies are regularly sued for failing to give adequate, clear warnings of these dangers.
God cannot be admonished for not providing either the warnings or the remedies. His Word is very complete, easy to understand, and available to everyone. No one can claim ignorance of this truth. Everyone is responsible for knowing the risks, rewards, and remedies for sin. The only anecdote for the deadly effects of sin is Jesus Christ.
