A Daily Devotional About
the curse of sin or selfishness… 2
Corinthians There
is a curse upon the life of every person, a curse called sin. At the root of sin
is the curse of selfishness. The curse of sin or selfishness turns the heart
into a center of bitter discontent. The curse of sin or selfishness causes human
beings to do evil things to themselves and to others. However, there is for us a
way to deal with the curse of sin or selfishness. The way we deal with the curse
upon us is to throw all of our life before Christ dieing upon the cross. We
must, to deal with the curse of sin upon our life, turn away from our mortal and
bodily life. We must repent and be the spiritual beings God wants us to be. To
achieve the ultimate spiritual state, we must cast our whole life including our
physical, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional sinfulness before Christ. It is
this act of turning away and surrendering up all we are that begins to separate
us from the curse of sin and selfishness. After we have turned away from the
curse of sin upon our life and we ask Christ to come into our heart and life, we
become new persons. Then, the old selfish person with the curse of sin and
selfishness gets washed away. The old selfish and sinful person is replaced with
a new person with a new heart that is free and clean. The new freedom we receive
as a result of not being cursed by sin and selfishness is the most exhilarating,
profound, remarkable, exciting, and highest experience in life. Our freedom from
the curse of sin and selfishness makes all things new. The old physical world we
used to live in may appear to be the same, the people may appear to be the same,
but with a new heart within us, with new eyes to see and new ears to hear, all
things become new. Not only is our freedom from sin and selfishness the most
exhilarating, profound, remarkable, exciting, and highest experience in life,
the most exhilarating, profound, remarkable, exciting, and highest experience
can last for eternity.
