“For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks
that they are all under sin.” Romans 3:9
“For the death that He died, He died to sin once for
all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.” Romans 6:10
“so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of
many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart
from sin, for salvation.” Hebrews 9:28
“For by one offering He has perfected forever those
who are being sanctified.” Hebrews 10:14
“But if we walk in the light as He is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7
So
I dropped my phone a few times recently. Thanks to my plastic phone case my
phone is pretty secure without any marks or dents. But every time I dropped the
phone, it was the case that would take the blow, leaving marks and dents.
Finally, it was cracked.
I
managed to purchase a new case for my phone online with a reasonable price and
it arrived yesterday. As soon as I received it, I took off the old case and
replaced it with the new one. After applying the new case, something caught my
eye. There was a small speck of dust and it was really annoying. I had to get
rid of it. I took off the case, wiped the phone and the case, and then applied
the case. I thought I was happy now when I noticed another speck of dust! Oh,
once again, repeated the process. The third time I looked, there was a very
short hair (probably from me) that was in the case! Finally, I gave up.
Every
couple days we vacuum the floor and clean the house. Couple hours after
vacuuming you notice that there is more dust to clean! You realize that no
matter how much you clean up the house there is always endless amounts of dust
showing up. Thus, we have to clean the house regularly.
These experiences
remind me of something. That we are all sinners and we cannot get rid of them.
No matter how much we try to cleanup after ourselves on our own, we fall into
sin once again. But the Bible tells us that there is a way. That is through
Jesus Christ. The blood of Christ will cleanse us from our sins and bring us to
salvation when we accept Him.
