Sin at The Door...

"Take heed of little sins" John Bunyan 


In life , after we have confessed to be a Christian , a fall into sin never happens with the quick leap into the harlots bed . We would be repulsed by throwing ourselves into wanton sin. The fact is it would be too gross and we would in general flee. 


But when we start allowing little sins , those small insignificant ones that we rationalize , the foot has already begun its walk towards the harlots bed . Perhaps its looking at swim suit models on line , exaggerating a bit with a story , fudging on our taxes etc.. whatever it may be , before too long one can be set up for a full fall . 


Galatians 5:9
A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

If we give a foothold in our life to sin , and we become numb to it ,  the fall can be swift and fast. Can we be totally without sin , not this side of heaven but if we are not killing our sin daily , confessing and going to the foot of the cross of Christ for forgiveness and arming ourselves with Gods spiritual armor as described in Ephesians chapter 6 , we are falling into the enemies hands of the world , the flesh and the Devil.

I speak from personal experience and it cost me much . But  it has been sweet to taste the sweet love of Christ in returning to my Savior .
