Sin written in black

Sin looks wonderful doesn't it?  It looks like a cookie!!  I bet it taste great!! It probably smells fantastic. Sin is surrounded by yummy icing!  I don't think anybody will know if I just take one bite.  Well maybe I will take a whole piece!!  Hmm, maybe I will eat three pieces!!  No one will know! Will they??  Would you like a bite??  I don't want to sin alone.

The thing with sin is it will entice, it will woo, it will play with my mind and it will tell me that it is okay.  Just this once.  Come on, take a bite!!  It will not tell me that sin stains?  The icing on the sin cookie in the picture will leave a stain behind on my tongue, teeth and even my clothes.  That is what sin does.  It leaves behind a stain.  It also will leave guilt, remorse and shame.

There is something written in red though that redeems.  It is the blood of a Savior.  He died and rose again!
He covers the sin written in black and forgives.

Romans 3:23-25

New International Version (NIV)

²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴ and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. ²⁵ God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,^[a] through the shedding of his blood —to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished —

John 3:16-17

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him
