Is sin necessary for excitement and spice?

Subject: [PK] ...Is sin necessary for excitement and spice?

If my life is taking a boring bent, how much more God's? Just last week, he was busy doing two things: Either forgiving my sins or trying to prevent me from committing any-chasing me like a dog if you please. I on the other hand was busy doing two things: Running from a temptation, (unsuccessfully and happily so), and also covering my tracks lest Mrs Owesome...you get the drift. Both of us were busy and excited.

Be that as it may, though my ATM card is back and I was obviously not caught, the big concern is how to bring the excitement back to my life. I am however starting to wonder that sin is necessary to both God and man. May I be forgiven for such blasphemous thoughts.

My words are finished.

Mr. Owesome,
My response

I would like to say that every often we try to put God in our cup tea and try to make Him fit our whims. What our good God has revealed to us through His word and through Jesus Christ is sufficient for us to understand what sin is. I do not want to play teacher here but as your brother, I would like to say that we have three categories of people; Chritians, Norminal Christians and non-believers.- The first group are regenerated sinners who depend on the Holy spirit in all the areas of life, and  therefore when they sin, they are made aware of the sin by the Holy Spirit who indwells them and when they see the sin, they confess and repent. They never make excuses, they do as David did in Psalm 51. These Chritians are discribed in the following scripture, Roman 8

⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. ⁸ So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. ⁹ But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. ¹⁰ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

The second group I call norminal Chritians, are those who claim to be Christians but do not keep in step with the Holy Spirit. They know they are saved but they do not wholy rely on the Holy Spirit. Some become indolent and compacent to the extent that they cannot differentiate between right and wrong. These are the ones Paul describes as those whose consciences are seared as with hot iron. Their consciences can not heed the prompting of the Holy Spirit who indwells them and they continously rebel. These are described in this scripture Galatians 5

¹⁶ I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,^[c] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, ²¹ envy, murders,^[d] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. ²⁴ And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

All these sins listed above are so temptious that we all often times find ourselves somtimes swimming in them. The fist letter of John 1says

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

The third group is the Non-believers who do not believe in Jesus or those who are not born again. These are those who lead lives guided only by the natural law, customary law and the laws of the land in which they live. If there was no such thing as law, they as well would indulge in all eveil. This group includes those who call themselves atheists etc. They are God haters and they are the ones the Bible says that their names are no written in the book of Life. Revelation 20

¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,^[c] and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. ¹³ The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. ¹⁴ Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.^{[d] 15} And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Now my brother, do not just talk of God as a thing or a prefect who writes the names of noise makers in class- GOD IS GOD. The right question I now ask you, is where do you belong? Your behaviour and life is determined by the group you belong to.
