   See Romans 1:18-32

   The wrath of God is to be taken seriously, especially by those who reject Him. We need to understand God’s Righteousness, as in He is absolutely Pure and Holy; while we are full of heinous sin, no matter how good we try to be. God is also a God of judgment; He has the right, authority and power to judge us as His creation. And we have no excuse because God has placed this knowledge we are to have within our conscience. Thus, when we reject God and follow our own needs and ideas we are in fact inviting His wrath and judgment upon us. We cannot think or say, “Hey, I did not know,” because we do know!

   Sin is serious, it is something we are not to just glance over thinking I am OK. Sin is something we need to do all we can to purge it from our life. In a pure sense you will never completely remove it; nevertheless, we are still called to try with all of our will and might. Even though Christ covers us, we are still responsible for allowing the Spirit and the disciplines of the faith to cleanse ourselves and in so doing we can be our best for His glory. Do not allow yourself or your friends and loved ones to fall into sin and trap themselves in its heinous clutches as it distorts and destroys! As a Christian who is coved by Christ’s righteousness, we must be wiling to let go before we can hold on. Let go of Sin and Hold on to our Lord! Ask Him what you need to do and He will revel it to you, make sure you are in His Word and listening!
