Running from the Light

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. (Jn 3:19)

Many people have a bias against believing the Gospel. They are not open to it because to believe the Gospel is to expose their sin and require that they repent. So, because they are attached to their sins, they refuse to believe either that they are wrong or that they are in need of a Savior. Unfortunately, the same condition sometimes afflicts Christians. We, too, are attached to our favorite sins. We will engage in great mental gymnastics to ignore the truth in front of our face. Lord, help me to be honest with myself about the areas that I still need to surrender to you.
