I was reading Colossians 2 recently during my quiet time. As I read through this passage I realized that I needed to stop being concerned with what others thought of me. I have to admit not just to myself but to God, that I am a sinner.
We all sin and we all fall short of God's glory. The problem comes in when we allow others to judge our sin. When we become concerned with what someone else thinks about what we are doing. Colossians clearly states for us in verse 16: "therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink or with regard to a religious festival".
We can not get in the game of measuring our sin by what others think about it. We are all sinners and sin and sin. There is no bad sin and good sin, it's all short of God's glory. Colossians goes on to tell us that we are made alive in Christ and He has forgiven us of all our sin.
God will always be faithful to us, we need to be faithful to Him. We are not perfect and we can not pretend to be. I admit I do strive for perfection but not by the worlds standards but by God's. I long to bow before Him at the throne and hear Him say well done good and faithful servant.
Let us all put aside our sinful nature and commit to walking with God. Confess to God and trust that He will be faithful to you. There is no big sin and small sin, just sin. God is in control and He will free you from bondage if you just ask.
