Transgression, rebellion and sin speaks and motivates deep in my heart. Sin, my enemy, is the source of Pride, Unbelief and Selfishness; it is the cause of all my misery and trouble. Sin defies God by blithely ignoring Him (assuming He is not present), or even by consciously denying Him (thinking He is not there). Sin deceives by removing the fear (terror) of God, who hates Sin, and the love (faith) for God, who loves the sinner. Sin must be recognized, hated, and crushed; only Jesus can do this, and He did. There the worker of iniquity (the Sin in me) lies fallen, thrust down, and unable to rise.
The contrast, and the solution, to sin and evil is not trying to do good and being better. That is not where the struggle of life lies. The contrast to evil, and the solution of my enemy problem, lies in the awesome love and the incredible mercy of God. His mercy and faithfulness is bigger than the expansive universe; His provision and care freely blesses with an abundant and satisfying life. His lovingkindness in Christ continues for those who know Him intimately. Repent of sin and believe the Good News.
