Is There Sin in the Camp?

Without the word of God being laid up in our hearts, we will sin against God. Ignorance is only good for a short period. When we are ignorant of a thing, and are not trying to figure it out after several times of being aware, then the fact is we’re trying not to be accountable through ignorance. That will never fly with the Lord. Ignorance is no excuse when we know in our heart of hearts we’re flirting with the temptation of sin. Let’s make it plain, sin is pleasurable with a cost, and the bill comes due sooner or later. When sin matures it produces death (Romans 6:23). This is why David spoke to God about hiding God’s word in his heart. Once the word of God has taken hold of our hearts, it will be in charge of our actions before we mess up. God’s word speaks to us 24/7 concerning everything pertaining to life, and godliness. As we become doers of the word, we open up a whole new lifestyle that exists above the evil in this world. Jesus prayed that Father God would not take us out of the world but that we’d live above this evil world system the devil has in motion (John 17:15). God’s word is food to our human spirits like physical food is to our bodies. We can’t live properly, and have the best life God intended without either. Hide the Lord’s word in your heart if you’re not planning on committing sin before Him. It’s the only way to live a righteous life before God.
