We don't hear

We don't hear many things but we hear many things. There are laws but many times we ignore the law.
I believe people can be stubborn. If we like an idea, then we hear the idea. If we hate the idea then we reject the idea.

Israel struggle with God. God talks and many times Israel don't listen. People can say the Jews are stubborn but all people are stubborn. We have the Bible but many times we don't follow the Bible. There are times we forget God or we understand the truth but enjoy the sin.

There are many Old Testament laws, no human being can follow the Old Testaments laws. There are several hundred of laws in the Old Testament. The Jews want to obey the law but it is impossible.  There is sin, everyone will sin. The Jews have followed other gods.

Exodus 23:13

 “Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.

 

The Jews have a problem but the whole world have this problem. We worship travel, money, family and other things. We ignore God because we love travel, money, family and other things. Somethings are good but we need to love God more.

 

We have idols in our lives. We need to repent and have a new heart. We can't fulfill the law but we need the Holy Spirit. I understand this. I am sinner because the law of God. We need repentance. When Jesus is in a person life then they will have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will guide the followers of Jesus.


Romans 6:23

  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Missing the point?

There is good and evil. Many people talk about this topic. I will talk about Christianity and Hinduism. The idea of sin is different in these thoughts.  I like to study this topic.

The Hindus believe this. Good and evil are relative terms. Whatever helps is good; whatever hinders is vice. They say, individuals will fail as they strive to understand themselves. If they cannot succeed in this life, they may try again in a reincarnated form.

The Bible teaches this. Sin is proud, independent rebellion that separates humanity form God. It is failing to keep the standards of God, the standards of God that has been established. The Bible tells God's standard. Sin must be punished, and its consequence is death and eternal separation from God.

Romans 3:23

 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

 

 

Romans 6:23

 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in  Christ Jesus our Lord.
