Sin is a terrible thing in the eyes of our Lord. So terrible that Jesus gave His life upon the cross that we might be redeemed from our sins. As the apostle John wrote, “But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death” (Rev. 21:8). When a person becomes a Christian, he obeys “...from the heart that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered; and being made free from sin, ye became servants of rightousness” (Rom. 6:17-18). When a brother in Christ sins or turns back into his old way of life again, whether knowingly or unknowingly, he needs for someone to talk to him and bring him back to God. Saving one soul is worth more than all the gold in the world. Prayerfully and longingly seek after that soul and bring him or her back to God, as a shepherd seeks that lost sheep to bring it back to the fold. It will be reward enough to see that soul in heaven with you and to know you saved “a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins.” Sinner, won’t you come back home to God today?
