We discussed temptation and sin in the international small group last night. Why is there sin? Where does it come from? It exists because 1) we don't know the truth and the right way to live, and 2) we aren't willing to trust God's guidance but want to follow our own judgments. I was reminded of these verses today -- you can feel the author/God crying out for the lost people who are walking into destruction.
There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Hosea 14:9
Who is wise? He will realize these things.
Who is discerning? He will understand them.
The ways of the LORD are right;
the righteous walk in them,
but the rebellious stumble in them.
Matthew 7:13
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
