Good   day,  brethren.   Today's   verse,  to refresh     our     spirit     &     self- examine ourselves,     from.    James.    4:17      says,  "Therefore,  to  him  that  knoweth  to  do  good & doeth it not, to him it is sin". Wow, what  a  precarious   situation!  Sitting   on the on the fence is not allowed.  Not  even ignorance, which though is no excuse, but may reduce guilt.  But   yet,  God is saying  that,  even  though  one   may   not   have  committed  any  sin   by  our  actions,  or inactions, by  knowing  &  not  doing  what is  right  &  proper,  is  equally  a  sin!  This verse  speaks  to  the  sin   of  omission  of doing what is right,  even  when we know  better.    So,    from     God's    perspective, knowledge is not only power,  but   comes with.  responsibility  &  accountability!  For instance,  if   you   know   you   should   be grateful,  humble,  helpful  when you can,  forgive  others, &  choose  to  ignore them & many more,   James    4:17,    calls   such inactions, sin!  Our  inaction  derives  from our    disobedience,   self-centeredness  & pride, against  the will, plan &  purpose of God.    Brethren,  let   us    run    with    this revelation & ask for grace to serve God on His terms & not ours. This is what pleases Him.  Accordingly, let us sensitise others,   to submit to serving God His way, not theirs, through Christ, pls!
