What is a sin?

“Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”James‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

If you are to forgive, then forgive, if you are to repair a relationship, then repair it! If you are to repent of bad behaviour, repent! If you are to give and refuse, repent and give!

God prompts each of us in the right way. Our Bible tells us we will hear a voice behind us saying: ‘not that way, this way!’ (Isaiah 30:21). If we are being stubborn and refusing to follow the promting of the Holy Spirit we need to repent!

Repentance is a gift from God, if we continue to refuse it we may find ourselves like Esau. Scripture tells us ‘he sought repentance and could not find it’(Hebrews 12:17). God will not struggle with us forever. Then, with hardened heart we follow our flesh and not His spirit. 

We need God’s spirit! He is good and leads us into all truth. Amen!
