There is a reason the Bible correlates sin with leprosy, the effects of both sin and leprosy are very similar. Today, Pastor Ed will be explaining how God commands us to refrain from sin because He loves us and doesn't want us to become blind and dull of heart. You don't know you have leprosy until it's too late. It starts beneath your skin and slowly travels until it begins to cause numbness to your nerves. Sin likewise, starts secretly from within, and dulls your heart to the point of not felling the Holy Spirits convictions.
