My Sin Against GOD
Written by Milton Vincent
10 Yet I could not have failed this great God more miserably than I have.174
11 Instead of giving thanks to Him and humbly submitting to His rule over my life, I have rebelled against Him and have actually sought to exalt myself above Him.
12 Going my own way and living according to my own wisdom, I have broken countless times either the letter or the spirit of every one of God’s Ten Commandments.175
13 Thinking myself to be wise, I have shown myself to be a fool; and, because of my arrogance, God has every right to damn me to the everlasting experience of His terrifying wrath in the Lake of Fire.176
14 So, as for myself, apart from Christ, I am bound by the guilt of my sins177 and also bound by the power of sin, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures.178
15 Apart from Christ, I am also utterly deserving of and destined for eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire, completely unable to save myself or even to make one iota of a contribution to my own salvation.179
