Justifying Your Sin

November 10, 2025

ROMANS 6:23 NKJV – (23) "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord".

People are good at making excuses to justify sin in their lives.  Getting into a habit of sin is often hard to get out of.  Sometimes the progression of sin seems like the easier road to follow.  Often turning from our sinful ways leads to tremendous guilt, anxiety, and helplessness.  

Even those strong in their faith still manage to stumble over and over again at some point in their life.  It may seem like an overwhelming task to turn from our evil deeds and turn to God.  This world does not make it easy to repent.  Constant nagging voices are telling you to love yourself and accept yourself for who you are.  What if your actions are wrong in God's eyes?

The voice of reason and morality has been replaced with don't judge me.  When someone exposes Biblical truths to the world, they are often labeled as judgmental. One of the most abused verses in scripture is Luke 6:37.

Luke 6:37 - “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.

Biblical truths are not an opinion or conclusion; they are a roadmap created by God for us to follow. Scripture is intended to equip us to live in the world.  When we do not read scripture or practice its teachings, we often resort back to our default position.
