Biblical Christianity continues to explore the uncharted depths of God's love and mercy.  All of mankind is told to seek the Lord God above all else.  In fact, the greatest sin is to fail to seek the Lord and find Him.  Every person who sincerely seeks God does find Him.  Failure to seek to know God is the worst thing that anyone can do and all other sins flow from this sin and are the result of this sin.  From the mind of God come love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, humility, self-control, and faith.  From the human mind come murders, perversion, promiscuity, drunkenness, lying, cheating, dishonesty, wanting what other people have, discontent, and all human misery.

A Biblical Christian does not become his or her own gods.  He or she will worship the one true God instead.  A Biblical Christian serves God with all their spirit, mind, and body.  For a Biblical Christian, the walk is a walk toward maturity in God.  We are called to appropriate the power, righteousness, and glory that Jesus bought on the cross.  This is a progressive walk into godliness.  That doesn’t mean we become little gods.  It means that we begin to take on the family likeness of our Father.  To what extent can we resemble Him and do the works that He does?  We can appropriate the Kingdom blessings to the extent that we can believe His promises.  Even though we have not progressed too far down this line up to this point, the road is in front us.  All we need to do is to continue to walk down that road.

The road is a constricted road.  It is a strait path.  The word, strait, means constricted.  It seems that the church has largely missed just how constricted this road is.  Whatever is not of faith is sin.  Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by a word from God.  We need to be in contact with God at all times.  When we ignore His voice, then our ability to hear Him is affected.  Our spiritual senses are dulled.  When we hear and obey, then our spiritual senses are heightened.  They are exercised by reason of use.  God is interested in every portion of our life.  He has input into every part of our day and night.  If we seek Him, we find Him, and He guides us.  When He guides us, we obey.  When we fail in any part of this, this is what sin is.
