Sin is Cruel

A sudden grip of thought. Sin is indeed cruelty to God.

How violent a death would God have endure for sin? Friday is coming. The day to remember what our Lord has done. The day that stays as a day that sin was to be conquered by a cruel death.

That cruelty was God to bear. To adhor sin is right. Because sin to God is adhorable, it is cruel. Sin slayed God, in flesh, in Christ.

Its gripping. How would you see sin? See it through God's heart. May we never lose our guard towards sin, neither ignore its effect, neither it subtlety.

The sinfulness of sin breeds its beginning from temptation.

The cruelty to God forbids that we should allow sin to speak its lies. May we guard our heart with all diligence since Christ took that cruelty upon Himself.

Sin indeed is cruelty to God.

But the amazing thing is....Christ brought that sting of death to be dead that we can be alive in Christ.

We can rejoice this Friday and say that it is Good Friday. Christ is good to us.
