He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.” Mark 7:20-23 NIV

When I read all of these things that come forth from the heart, I cringe. We are born into a world full of sin. It is there, luring us, enticing us, looking to captivate and enslave us. We are bombarded by “Live for self as life is short.”

It is not easy to get away from sin. In fact there is only one way to escape. We must turn our lives over to Jesus Christ. We must read the word of God daily, we must spend time in prayer with the Lord, we must commune with other believers. We must sacrifice our life in order to receive eternal life. There truly is no other means of escape from the snare of sin. It is powerful, and will overcome any and everyone who does not give their life to the Lord. Do not allow sin to be victorious over you. Yes, you will fall to sin, but the Lord waits, ready to forgive and restore. Turn to Him and be saved!

My thought, Roland, is that we can clearly see the woe written on the wall of our DNA and we are all born into sin, but what we did/do not know is that we are also born into a world of Hope. Even the ancient times of Noah, man was born into a world of Hope. They had the hope of eternal life by belief in a savior which was to come (can use the idea of paying if forward at starbucks or such). But for us who are born down here in this age, we clearly are born into a world of Hope, which has an Holy Spirit assuredly, boldly acting in all we say and do to bring us to Christ.

And: that 'where sin abounds, grace much more abounds'; and if sin is big--say, the size of earth, then the grace and Spirit that applies that grace is the surrounding of the expanding cosmos itself by comparison.(most people say the universe is 15 or so billion light years and growing.) That illustrations could be just the winning example of how easy it can be for us to choose the bigger thing we are born into.

Sin is truly close and available and so easily besets us, but grace is infinitely close and available. No matter how big the sin, the Kozmos is bigger with a more larger vacuum to suck it out of us. It is more easier for one to be saved than to be lost. (by way of illustration.)
