Devotion – The Weight of Sin

 

Devotion – The Weight of Sin

Scripture:

“For the wages of sin is death.” — Romans 6:23

Personal Reflection:
Sin is not a mistake—it is rebellion. Edwards saw sin as a downward pull toward ruin, restrained only by God’s hand. Yet Jesus stepped beneath that crushing weight for me. Grace is not sentimental—it is blood-bought.

Contemplation:
Do I grasp the heaviness of my sin, or excuse it as weakness?

Edwards Quote:

“Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards hell.” — Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You bore the full gravity of my guilt. Let the memory of the cross keep me from making light of sin.

Challenge:
Confess one sin honestly to God today. Name it, grieve it, and thank Him for covering it.
