My sister had been married for thirty-one years when her husband left. Sin got in the way of their relationship.
But sin doesn’t just do this with marital relationships. It also works with other relationships. Every job I have taken has had problems. One person disliked me because I broke a piece of equipment, and he did not like the way I did things. Another hated me. One of my assistants thought he was too good to do certain tasks, so he called in sick to get out of doing things he didn’t want to do.
We are all subject to evil and foolish thoughts. Of course, I was not an angel in any of those situations. Sin constantly plagues us.
Solomon said, “After that, they join the dead.” He knew that people who didn’t know Jesus would go to the lake of fire someday.
But there is good news. We don’t have to join the dead. If we trust Jesus as our Savior, we can join the living and have eternal life. No sin exists when we go to heaven. Nor will there be broken relationships or evil thoughts.
Will you turn to Jesus today?
