Continual thoughts on Sin.

I think I too often forget how serious sin is to God. Sin is so serious to God that he saw it necessary to seperate himself from Adam and Eve in the Garden and by doing so saw it necessary to seperate himself from man. It is so serious to him that he sent his own son to pay the consequences of it so that we can be re-united with him.


Things that I don't see a problem God looks at it and calls it what it is, Sin. I think too often I believe that because I am not a murderer or an adulturer than my sin is not that bad and therefore no big deal.

Please bear with me as I write down some other thoughts on sin.

I think of the little things that that I often commit and pass off that may really be sins. I think about things like swearing...it feels good for the moment and sometimes provides a huge emotional relief when i do it but the bible calls it "course talking." Which really isn't edyfing and isn't necessarily a display of righteousness...the righteousness in which God calls me to live to now that I am a Christian. But is this a deadly sin, is it really even sin? Is God going to judge all of my righteousness off whether or not I swore, is he counting it...NO not at all but then I think do I give him praise and Honor when I swear, am i giving him glory. Are the words of my mouth edifying to myself and those around me and if they aren't does that make it sin?

Maybe it's one of those grey areas...maybe it's not sinful to swear but maybe it also isn't glorifying God when i do so maybe then I just shouldn't do it?

But then is doing anything that wouldn't bring glory to God sinning?

hmmm...so many thoughts.
