Sin – Not doing known good

James 4:17

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

John 3:17

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. —

Two kinds of pleasure

Proverbs 21:15

It is a joy for the just to do justice,
 But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

Prayer

. Thank you, dear Father, for sending your Son and my Savior, Jesus. Please, dear LORD, I do not want to ever take that gift for granted. Please empower me and give me wisdom so that I can faithfully listen and serve Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
