A while ago I was trying to write lyrics to a song I was making with my friend, but I'm not very good at writing lyrics. We ended up throwing away my attempt. However, there was one line I wrote that I liked the concept of.
Sin is like a bad check.
If you understand how a bad check works you know that its when the person who wrote the check doesn't have enough funds to be able to pay you even though they wrote on the paper that said they would have the money. Sin is in a way a lot the same, sin seams good and looks like it has worth until you find out it was just Satan lying to you saying it has worth.
For instance, I'm pretty sure most if not all of us has that side of us that enjoys sin. Seriously, we often think sin feels good. We can get away with things we shouldn't, can acquire things we couldn't, and it makes us feel good because we are cheating the system.
However, when you really look at the sins you commit do you see worth? Or is it just like a piece of paper with a lie written on it? Sin may look enticing, but in reality when you go to "deposit" it in reality sin won't get you anything of worth. Sin won't get you love, joy, hope, peace, generosity, real wealth, or life. We so often want to get those things, but they cannot be acquired by mere acts of the devil's schemes. The only way we are able to get love, joy, hope, peace, generosity, real wealth, and life is by following and trusting in the one without sin to grant us those things in time.
We should realise how pointless and worthless our sin is. Do those little "white" lies get us any closer to where we want to be in life?
Sin is like a bad check, it looks good on the outside, but when its real worth is exposed its just a piece of paper with writing on it you can't trade for anything of worth, or in the case of sin its worthless. Sometimes the hardest thing for us to see is that there are some things in life we do that we should profoundly realize are worthless. Only until you see the problem can you address it.
