The reason most people do not think of themselves as sinners is because they are convinced through their own ignorance that they are innocent. Jesus says, however, that what comes out of the mouth of a person reveals their true heart. Jesus says we are capable of all kinds of evil, whether acted out or not. This is the reason for feeding the inner man through the power of the Holy Spirit to transform us into the pattern of Jesus Christ our Savior. Innocense is without excuse for the Christian who have this revelation made known to them. We can give sway to the Holy Spirit by not grieving Him (avoiding intentional sin and confessing our sin) and not quenching the Spirit (by disagreeing with Him regarding our own sin). For the Christian, spiritual life begins and ends with dependance on the Holy Spirit and allow His work in our life.
Daily Prayer: Father, convict and convince us of our own personal sin. Forgive us our trespasses and give us the heart to forgive others. Build up our new life by having us yield to the Holy Spirit and allow His impartation of new life in our heart. In Jesus's name and for His sake I pray Amen.
