The Payback of Sin

By: Dr. Jimmy Young

Anne Lamott, considered by many to be a fresh voice of grace, said “We are not punished for the sin, but by the sin…”

Sooner or later, life has a way of paying us back for what we’ve done. Sin is such a poor choice…at so many levels. Who among us doesn’t know stories - some our own - that illustrate what Anne said.

Obedience earns nothing in terms of our eternal standing. But it does make life work better. Obedience is simply the acknowledgment of faith that God has the right and the wisdom to accurately describe what the desired path for life looks like.

I want to be on that path.
