“Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” —Mark 7:15
Perhaps you’ve heard of the Seven Deadly Sins:
- Lust
- Pride
- Greed
- Gluttony
- Envy
- Sloth
- Wrath
These are seven categories of sin; ways we creatively disobey God. But they don’t just reside “out there” in the world. They live in us.
The seven deadly sins aren’t just things we do—they’re who we are every day. Author Jared C. Wilson’s study Seven Daily Sins examines the good news that Christ offers a way to deal with these sins once and for all.
The bad news is we carry around sin inside of us every day.
The good news is, through the gospel of Jesus Christ, we can not only identify our daily sins … but kill them.
Let’s stop managing our sin and start experiencing freedom in Christ.
“What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” —Romans 7:24-25
