Natural Born Sinner…
That seminal
moment when you realize that you were right
and that you were wrong. I have always found myself on the side of the
proponent when it came to others condemning
a person saying that they were “Born
like that”, because how or why God would set anyone up for failure? And knowing the God that I serve to be good, that just went against all I knew of
him, within me.
And then I received a revelation that finally cleared up some theological loose-ends that plagued me. We are all “Natural Born Sinners”, but it’s the choice(s) that we make to whether or not we continue on in that
sin. David said it best, “We are born
into sin and shaped in iniquity”.
The sin occurs
when we keep trying to justify something that we know is against the laws of
God. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah had
the same choices that you and I have.
Most choose to do what they
want to do and deal with the consequences at a later date. Many say, “I know I am wrong, but…”
The “but” is the conscious decision that “we” know that
there is another way “but” we choose the opposite. Just because we can, doesn’t mean that we should;
although God gives us all a free-will to choose. He doesn’t make us love him but we choose to
do it. The most dangerous blessing we
have is that of a right to choose.
As the men of Sodom and Gomorrah were blinded and then condemned, so goes the fate of the people who
continue to choose that lifestyle or any that go against the nature of God. Nearly the entire world has gone nose-blind to the abomination that
stinks in God’s nostrils, as well as spiritually
blind to see that as the world turns more from the face of God, that depravity
and sin are taking a greater foothold on our society; as they were blind to
what was to be their fate, so has our world become; they don’t see nor believe
in what the Bible calls the day of judgment.
They never saw it coming - In both the literal and figurative tense…
