| Sin and the Bible |
| “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee” (Psalm 119:11). |
| “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). |
| Someone has well said, “The sin that we commit does not produce our state of soul but manifests it. Why do I sin? because I want to.” |
| Someone else has stated, “The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.” |
| These statements show us the importance of judging sin in our lives, and the importance of daily reading and searching the Word of God. |
| Here is a short, daily check list that will help us in that regard: |
| ❑ Did I start the day with prayer? |
| ❑ Did I read something from my Bible? |
| ❑ Did I obey His Word? |
| ❑ Did I keep as far away from temptation as possible? |
| ❑ Did I judge sin in my life? |
| ❑ Did I live in the consciousness of the Lord’s company? |
| ❑ Did I ask the Lord’s help throughout the day? |
