Shattered, Part 2: Freedom Shattered
Sin is not just an activity. … In reality, sin is you. Sin is me. Because the only thing that’s perfect is the Holy God, and if I walk away from a relationship with the Holy God, I am very quickly unholy—which is what the story of Genesis 3 really initiates.
… We live a life that tries to say, even as Christians, “Yeah, Jesus is the answer, but let’s just deal with behavior modification.” … You cannot do it with behavioral fixes. I do believe in behavioral modification, in making my life to be more like Christ — I get it — but it has nothing to do with fixing my life for eternity. There is nothing that saves me … without Christ.
