Running on Faith Weekday Devotions — Wednesday, October 26, 2022:
Have you heard that old saying, or a similar phrase, “I am THANKFUL for my mistakes!”
Mistakes are either sins, or a product of SIN: the failure to accurately see, hear, remember, speak, understand, and perform a task, or being lazy, angry, prideful, greedy, immoral, drunk, lustful, selfish (the foundation of all sin), & the list goes on.
Gen 3:6–7 “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, & that it was a delight to the eyes, & that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit & ate; & she gave also to her husband with her, & he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, & they knew that they were naked; & they sewed fig leaves together & made themselves loin coverings.”
Ro 6:23 “the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Is all of creation better or worse off for Adam & Eve’s ‘mistake’?
Why edify, encourage, & celebrate SIN?
