Sin is nothing new. The candor of the Scriptures allows us to see the stupidity and rebelliousness of God’s people in the past. We should be convicted by their lost opportunities and the disasters they brought upon themselves and not repeat their mistakes, rebelliousness, and sin. We should also be reminded how little difference there often is between them and us and renew our passion to follow God more faithfully! “We have sinned, even as our fathers did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly. Psalm 106:6”

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
