Sin isn't only about dong things you shouldn't. We purposely complicate sin. We complicate it to make it beneficial for us. Is this really a sin? How far can I really go with this? If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't.
Now, let's focus on the other aspect of sin in James 4:17
Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
James 4:17 NLT
James says when you don't do what you should, it's a sin. How about that? There's a reason Proverbs says, "don't withhold good when you can do it (3:27)", because you should do it. In fact, it's a sin. Why?
I believe it's because when you've experienced the Goodness of God, you shouldn't keep it to yourself. The Goodness of God should spew into every aspect of your life, making you want to do good whenever and wherever you can because you hope people will see God in it!
What good can you do today? Who came to mind for you to help or simply encourage today? Do it today. Don’t withhold it!
