Christians should see sin the way God sees it

[Doc Thomas]

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." What did Jesus mean? Christians should see sin the way God sees it and should seek to treat it the way He treats it. Those who cover sin or defend sin certainly have the wrong attitude. We should not only mourn over our sins but we should also meekly submit to God. We are often puffed up & prideful like the Pharisee in Luke 18:11: “The Pharisee stood & was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.” Yes, we often think this way because we’re not Mormon, Jehovah’s Witness, Buddhist, Muslim, etc….but if we are habituated in sin, are we any different? We must be praying to ourselves because God hate such pridefulness/will not honor such a prayer. Are we yielded to the Sovereign One or our own selfishness? Although the nonbeliever’s knee will bow to King Jesus, ours will also. When your knee bows, will it be judged for your righteousness or your wickedness?
