Too often we throw around the word sin, like its a small discrepency that just needs improving on, as if we were a machine not quite running at maximum efficency. We become beaurocrats, writing our well phrased sorrys to God and to others, like a corporate responsability form. Too often we forget the gravity of what we do. Our relationship with God should be like the relationship with our partners, time and time again in the bible it is compared, the church is the bride of christ etc.
We have faith in God that he will save us and care for us in this life, and in return he has faith in us that we will obey his commands. When we sin we break that bond of trust, just like when we break our promises to our partners. It breaks his heart when we sin, and so often we just brush it off because of God's mercy. But it should break our heart too, just like we try to repair our relationships with humility and guilt. God is the perfect partner, slow to anger and never breaking his promises. If then he's done nothing wrong, how much more then should we, steamy eyed, walk to his from door and beg forgiveness?
