Note: I am now involved in a second group which meets on Friday, and uses a similar format to the Monday group, so I am putting the reflections for both groups in the same area.

The readings for next Friday, 13th March, concern sin.

Genesis 6:5-6 (NIV): ‘The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.‘

And:

Romans 3:10: ‘As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;”’

Question: I hope that, like me, you have received great kindness and goodness from many people in your life, but how do we reconcile that with the above verses?

Further reading – There are many other verses which relate to these, including Gen 2:16-17, Gen 3:1-19, Lev 19:2
