this morning this thought came to mind: on nbc there is a game show called deal or no deal. In the game there are 27 suitcases held by 27 beatiful women. each case contains amounts from the top prize of one million dollars to one penny. The person begins the game by selecting a briefcase hoping that it holds the top prize amounts and the grand one. Then the contestant goes thru several rounds selecting certain briefcases hoping that they may not eliminate the top cash prizes(if the brief case they selected does not contain it)and eliminate the low cash amounts. Based on the outcome of each round the banker offers a certain amount to buy back the briefcase they selected before the game started to prevent them from winning the highest amount possible after each successive round.
Sin is just like the gameshow-it offers itself to us as the grand prize which we think we want,need or have earned via "enticing beautiful women"in the guise of whatever tempts us. Yet unlike the gameshow:1. the highest prize amount is always a mirage,fools gold or poison etc
2. Unlike the gameshow which is nothing but "chance or luck" sin is deliberate,cunning and adaptive in its purpose to destroy your life and soul either by going thru the frontdoor or thru a open window like a friend or neighbor.
3. unlike the gameshow which offers you supposedly happiness for both the child of God and the unsaved reaps disatification,emptiness,misery,pain,stress etc
- further for the child of God they wander AWAY FROM FELLOWSHIP OF GOD and begin acting like our first parents adam and eve.
-further for the unsaved they trash,belittle the grace,mercy and blessings from God and their hearts,minds and lives become harden and rebellious towards God acting like the people in romans 1:18- 2:6
4. in the afterlife for the child of God loss of rewards and for the unsaved loss of their souls and eternal justice in hell.
