Ninety-nine percent of the time, sin is the reason we suffer. Our thought life leads to a behavior reflective of it. If you don’t think this is true, wait a while, sin will creep in and turn your world upside down. If we don’t see sin for what it is and choose the only proven method of dealing with it, then our pride will keep us in a mode that will constantly filled with pain, loss, disappointment, and suffering. There’s just no way around it. The only answer anyone can ever have for the problem of sin is repentance. And the only way sin can be forgiven is by addressing the “Offendee”, God. He is quick to forgive and restore your soul when your heart is in alignment with His. Human beings create their own problems, due to our sinful nature, and we continue to live there because of our pride.
22 You may ask yourself,“Why is all this happening to me?”It is because of your many sins! That is why you have been stripped and raped by invading armies.23 Can an Ethiopian change the color of his skin? Can a leopard take away its spots?Neither can you start doing good, for you have always done evil.
Jeremiah 13:22-23
The people say, “Our wickedness has caught up with us, Lord,but help us for the sake of Your own reputation.We have turned away from You and sinned against You again and again.8 O Hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble,why are You like a stranger to us?Why are You like a traveler passing through the land,stopping only for the night?9 Are You also confused?Is our champion helpless to save us?You are right here among us, Lord.We are known as Your people.Please don’t abandon us now!” 10 So this is what the Lord says to His people:“You love to wander far from Meand do not restrain yourselves.Therefore, I will no longer accept you as My people.Now I will remember all your wickednessand will punish you for your sins.”
Jeremiah 14:7-10
