We've been talking about Christian freedom... and that sounds like a great deal. To be free in Christ, to be free from the threat of death, to be free from sin... and that's where it all falls apart. I can understand not feeling threatened by death. I guess I don't think about death all that much. But freedom from sin seems to be another issue.
To be free from sin would seem to be a state were I would not be tempted to continue sinning. Perhaps this begs the question: what is sin? I've heard it defined so many different ways. To me, anything that goes against God's will for me is sin. That might seem a nebulous definition, but it covers so much. So, if I'm so free, why do I continue to gossip and use foul language and doubt God's wisdom or power...
If I'm so free, why do I continue to be bound by sin?
Don't like my definition of sin? How would you define it?
