LIE: This is such a minor, insignificant sin! It’s not
really a big deal in God’s eyes.
TRUTH: Every sin is a horribly offensive to God. Sin
is the sum of all evils, the opposite of all that is good,
holy, and beautiful. Even the smallest of my sins
required the death of the Son of God. There is no such
thing as a minor sin. Every sin is cosmic treason.
LIE: I’ll give into sin this one time, then I’ll be done
with it. I just need to get it out of my system.
TRUTH: Every time I give into a sin it becomes more
difficult to break the power of that sin. Sin has a way
of sinking it’s barbed hooks deep into my heart. I can’t
simply sin and then walk away from it unscathed. The
more I give in to sin, the more entangled I become.
Sin always leaves scars.
LIE: This sin is part of who I am. I’ve always struggled this way and I always will sin this way.
TRUTH: Sin does not define my identity! I am a new creation in Christ. Christ has set me free
from the enslaving power of sin. I absolutely do not have to obey the sinful passions that surge
through me. I may have always struggled this way, but my past does not define my future.
LIE: I need to give in to this sin in order to be happy.
TRUTH: Sin never provides true happiness. It promises sweetness, yet ultimately delivers a
payload of destruction, dissastisfaction, ruined relationships, and hardness of heart.
LIE: God wants me to be happy, therefore it’s okay for me to give in to sin.
TRUTH: God does want me to be happy. However, my happiness will only rise as high as my
holiness. Sin ultimately erodes and destroys true holiness and true happiness.
