       We saw this was the Rich Young Ruler’s problem in the Gospel account, wherein he asked what he must do to inherit eternal life. That’s the problem of a lot of people. There’s that sin they can’t, or to be more precise, really don’t want to give up. For the true Christian, for the one who has become born-again, that’s not the case. There isn’t a sin we want to keep on practicing. We don’t want to sacrifice our fellowship with God for some sin, whatever that sin is. We know we can’t have both, and we truly don’t even want both. We only want our relationship with God. As we become more and more enlightened to the truth, as we gain knowledge of the Bible and the things of God, we come to understand very quickly, and not that we really didn’t understand this already, how destructive sin is. There is the great downloading of knowledge we get when we first become a believer in Jesus; at least, that’s the experience for a lot of people, especially for people that didn’t have much of a church background.
