Week 1, Day 3: Sin Is Siding With the Enemy In this Week 1, Day 3 episode of In the Light, we slow down with a brief pause and then unpack another dimension of sin: it’s not only breaking God’s commands or betraying relationship with him, it’s also switching allegiance and siding with God’s enemy. We look at Adam and Eve’s disobedience as trusting the tempter’s word over God’s, and then turn to Luke 4 where Satan offers Jesus the kingdoms of the world—an offer Jesus doesn’t dispute but answers by worshiping and serving God only. We connect this to how humanity’s sin has, in a real way, placed us under the influence of powers opposed to God, and we reflect on Romans 6 where Paul describes offering ourselves as slaves to the one we obey. We end by examining the past 24 hours, confessing where we’ve sided with the enemy (intentionally or not), thanking God for forgiveness through the cross, and closing with the Lord’s Prayer.
