       God doesn’t want us doing sin because it messes things up. That’s why you find a list of the big sins from time to time when reading the Scriptures. The purpose is for us to pay careful attention to those sins and watch ourselves so that we do not find ourselves practicing them. These are the things that are in violation of the Law of Liberty. They are the Law of Enslavement. God didn’t want the Israelites enslaved in the Old Testament, and he does not want us to be enslaved today. Sin enslaves. There is not freedom found in doing whatever we want without regard to the Bible, what James called the law of Liberty. The thing of it is, when we focus on sin too much, it can cause a lot of unnecessary guilt to crop up in our minds. Really, the guilt is already there and the talk of sin brings forth the guilt. Some might say to you, “That is a good thing. You should feel guilty.” The problem with guilt is that it can be debilitating. In other words, guilt is like poison in our bodies.
