Being a sinner is so foolish. It really is. We are created by God and in His image. Our existence has nothing to do with us or our abilities. God choose to cause us to exist. So no matter what we do or where we go – we are created beings. Created with boundaries that are predetermined by GOD – our creator. So given our eternal servitude to Him our Creator and King – why do we think we’re somehow independent of Him????? Why do we think we should live for ourselves? How STUPID it is of us to close our eyes and say: “There is no God…There is no God…I’m in control of my life and destiny….I’m in control” It’s so silly. Because He programmed us with free will – we somehow think we control our lives. HAHA!
I can write a program to pick a random number. But it would be retarded of that program to think that it has any control over its functions and existence. I can delete it at any time. I can stop it, start it, or change it. I can tell it the numbers it can choose from. Sure, it can select a number on its own. But only within the boundaries I’ve set for it.
Being is sinner is saying “I’m in control and there is no God”. Being a sinner is saying “If there is a God, then I’m going to pretend that he’ll think that I’m good enough to go to heaven – after I’ve lived my life as I saw fit”. Being a sinner is absolutely RETARDED. When I sin, I say in my heart: “I know there is a God who controls me and brought me into existence. I know he has commanded me to take certain actions. I know that he has the power to do anything he wants to with me. But I’m going to pretend none of that is true and do what I feel like doing in this moment – simply because I ‘feel like it’.”
Instead as creations we should fear God. We should recognize our position of eternal servitude and tell God: “Please have mercy on me, your creation. I know you are God. I just want to serve you and fulfill the purpose you have given for me – and in that way I can find completeness, and be spared the wrath of one who can think me out of existence”
But sinning causes us to decide that it’s better to ignore the whole God-is-Master-of-the-Universe thing and go with: “I feel like doing this – so I will”. Sinning is an emotional response. Even though we are creatures that have been given emotions as a gift from God, we take those emotions and apply them in our own self interest. “What do I feel like doing today?” becomes our motto instead of “As a creation of God, what does he feel like having me do today? What would he be proud of me doing?”
God is the author of all wisdom and Master of the Universe. Let us embrace the second motto: “What do you feel like having me do today? What would make you proud of me?”
1 The fool says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
Psalm 14:1
