We are trying to fix it the same way we fix everything; by making laws that try to fix the outside because it is hard or too difficult to fix the inside. Anyway I am working on fixing my insides and it is hard work. I pray for myself to have strength and for others who are fixing the outside to begin to look within and find what is causing their symptoms.

Colossians 2 "Inside and Outside"
Read this chapter then re-read verses 20-23. These verses I had no idea were in the Bible but they make perfect sense. When we try to stop our sinful nature what do we do? We try to treat the symptoms not the cause. If we fix the cause then the symptoms will go away, right? We are doing this not realising we are trying to do this by human ways, even if we ask for help from God I do not think we can defeat sin this way alone. We cannot only take a human approach to fix this problem.

nice observation...
ReplyDeletewhat "human rules" most entangle you to 'fix yourself?'
The ones that tell me it is ok to sin in certain circumstances and how fixing the outside is the way to go. As long as you don't sin it is ok, but that is impossible if you don't change the inside. You can treat the symptoms to Cancer but it will eventually kill you if you don't get rid of it.
