[FONT=&quot]Sin’s Receipt.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This ‘person’ was walking through a museum exhibition about American civil War, when he came across a very chilling item. It was a receipt, like what you get in a store or a shop after you purchased something. I know! at this point you may be thinking what’s so chilling about a receipt? [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Well the receipt was for a slave named Sally, who had been received in good health from a slave trader. The person was pretty shocked and was horrified by the buying and selling of human beings, but he thought that these people were so obvious to the ugliness of their sin that they even kept the receipt. The person just shook his head in disgust, not only for the despicable thing they had done, but also for the many times they brandished the receipt for their sins. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Now in modern times, we illegally download music or films, and then refuse to delete them from the playlist. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]We lust after someone who is not our spouse, then replay the moments in our minds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]We lose our cool and belittle our co-workers, then brag to our friends how we put them in their places. Rather than feel embarrassed for our sins, we wave our receipt in the air and say “see what I did!” as if it’s a honourable thing to do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Real repentance eliminates ‘look at me’ moments. It gladly gives up any ‘profit’ from what was gained. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Saul tried to look honourable when Samuel asked him why he had saved the receipt from his sin. Saul said he “spared the best of the sheep, goats, and cattle” so that he might “sacrifice them to the LORD” (1 Samuel 15: 13-14).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]When Samuel refused to play along, Saul finally admitted, “Yes I have sinned, I have disobeyed your instructions and the LORD’s command….. Please forgive my sin” (1 Samuel 15: 24-25). Saul’s repentance came too late as Samuel replied; The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given to someone else” (1 Samuel 15: 28) [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]So don’t be too late too, and turn from our sin now while we still have time and tear up our receipts! [/FONT]
 
I Like this thread. IT is very thought provoking. Look at it from a spiritual perspective, sin makes one feel like their not worth much, like nothing, and very cheap. But the reality of it is that their is no price tag on human life, as God thought we are very valuable to send Jesus to die for us, in a world of sin, to believe and want him, and all the immortal life he has for us. The deception of this is believing a lie, way back in the garden Eve did believe a lie. Belonging to the family of God meaning, believing in Jesus Christ, as savior, we being *engrafted into his Royal Bloodline, him being the HIGH PRIEST, we then become Son's and daughters of him, there is no price tag on being one of his own, but living in the ways of unrighteousness makes one cheap, and not only that, makes one think they're cheap too.. REally luv your threads,,, :)
