what we need to fully understand that sin, no longer has to be a natural part of our lives, we choose to carry that mess around, it is not God's plan for us to have it, nor keep it, he sent his son that he would for once and for all destroy the yokes of the devil and to make us a living creation, holy and acceptable in His sight forever, but, like it has been repeatedly said throughout the text of this reading, we have to choose whether or not to take on this life that God wants us to have. It is more than just something that people think they need to have, no as a people, the Bible says that we don't have a clue as to what we want, which is why we need to be led by the Spirit. One preacher says a lot, we need to take our lives and give it back over to God, saying, Lord, I've made a mess of this life, here you take it, and clean me up, and I'll serve you from now on. That is a great first step, serving does not mean that you're going to do missions work, or go by the church everyday to find out what's going on to volunteer, no, it means that you will try to the best of your ability to hold fast to the three basic rules that Jesus told us to live by, which are again; TO LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL OF YOU HEART AND MIND AND STRENGTH. TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU LOVE YOURSELVES. AND, TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS THOUGH YOUR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT. When you really think about it, if you are dealing faithfully with these tree things, there is no way you can commit sin, but which sin is the one that has the ability to block us from Heaven? DEATH? Nope, there is nothing that can keep me from the love of God, RAPE? Nope, there is nothing that can keep me from the love of God, MURDER? Nope, there is nothing that can keep me from the love of God, SLANDER? Nope, there is nothing that can keep me from the love of God, AHH BEING GAY? Nope, there is nothing that can keep me from the love of God.
