Many thoughts bombard me every waking moment. I've been thinking of our society as a whole and all the evil in it. With gay marriages being legal now, I'm starting to see Toronto as the modern-day Sodom or Gommorah. Wondering how angered, disgusted, saddened our Heavenly Father is at this nation. I'm even half-expecting God's wrath in some way, and that sucks b/c we have already been set free from our sinful nature. Why do we go on in sin? I'm not talking about homosexuality, but everything else. If we are true Christians, that means we are dead. We are dead to our old selves, and we have been resurrected w/ Christ within us. We have to die to our sinful nature, so that Christ may be alive in us! Since Christ is in us, and we desire to give up ourselves, why do we STILL sin? This is a very good question, and I don't have the answer, but I feel that when we still sin as Christians, it's b/c that part hasn't been surrendered to God yet. We can't expect the Holy Spirit to come into our lives, and make us perfect and holy instantly. A friend shared that "everyday is like an exercise for our Christian walk". We have to let and want the Spirit to gain ground in our lives daily, and if we need to, even tell ourselves that we are dead to our sinful nature, and we can choose not to sin, for we have been right by grace.
