When we think about sin, we often think of wrong or evil actions. However, the Bible reminds us that sin is not just acts we commit, it is also acts we omit. "So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin." (James 4:17) This reminds me of Rom 3:19 ... "it's clear enough, isn't it, that we're sinners, every one of us, in the same sinking boat with everybody else?" (Message Bible) This awareness should not condemn us because we are in Christ Jesus (Rom 8:1). However, it should remind us to stop assuming our heart is right toward God just because we don't do certain things.
