Most of the time we get it all wrong. We see all of the sin around us and think that sin is the problem. But the root cause is separation, separation from God. If we were as close to God as he created us to be, we would see sin in a different light. We would be much more forgiving of the sinner and less forgiving of ourselves. It was always the separation that influenced God's actions against his people. Sin was just the by-product.
When we see those around us struggling with sin, we should encourage and enable them, point the path toward God rather than point out their sin. Once they start walking toward God with all of their heart, the sin will disappear. If it happened in my life, it can happen for everyone else.
