I have been reading in the book of Genesis. A comment made by the Application Study Bible struck me. It is in reference to Adam when he ate the forbidden fruit in Genesis 3.
"Man was separated from God by his desire to act on his own." We often think of sin as separating us from God. Yet, at the root of sin is our desire to act on our own. Maybe you are not committing any of the many sins mentioned in the Bible, but maybe you are acting on your own. We may think that we are pretty good because we are not lying, cheating, stealing or committing adultery. Yet, our relationship and fellowship with God may not be right because we are acting on our own. What we are doing may not be bad, but we are not putting God in what we are doing. We are not being led by His Spirit in all we do. We are just cruising through life, not doing bad, but acting on our own.
Help us Lord Jesus!
