The story is told that at the close of a Sunday morning sermon one of the members felt the Holy Spirit's conviction and moved forward to an altar after the invitation was given by the pastor. He took the pastor's hand and with a heavy spiritual and emotional response, he shared that his life was full of sin. But instead of saying it that way it came out, "My sin is full of life." He quickly changed it to, "My life is full of sin." The truth is his first statement was the real reason for the second. As someone observed, "His sin was full of life and that is why his life was full of sin." The remedy for sin that he found that day was the blood of Christ. It is only through his death and resurrection that sin can be overcome.
