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. —

God is not the big Scrooge in the sky, critically looking down on his flawed children waiting to condemn those who mess up. Instead, he saw how broken, flawed, and messed up we were and entered our world to save it... to save us. God's purpose in sending Jesus is our life and our salvation.

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.
