what are we doing when we sin?

... "for to set our will against the will of God is to dethrone God and make ourselves supreme in the little kingdom of Mansoul."

-A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy, p.30

  1. Good question! I am grieving God when I sin...God who loves me so much.

    "God does see my sins, and He is grieved by my sins.....from the fact that in the moments of sin, I am not receiving the FULLNESS of His love for me."

    - M. Vincent, A Gospel Primer for Christians, p. 64

  2. That's really encouraging. There is greater joy for us in recieving God's loving blessing than to succumb to the fleeting pleasures of sin!
