Scientifically, cold doesn’t exist. It’s merely the absence of heat. It’s also a scientific fact that darkness doesn’t exist either as it’s merely the absence of light.
Biblically, sin is the absence of God as sin is about us doing our own thing for ourselves. We become so full of ourselves that we crowd God out of the situation.
If God is absent from any situation then so is love, joy, and peace as He is all those things. Let that sink in. When we choose to put down our biblical tools that keep us close to Jesus, we’re choosing to take love, joy and peace out of the equation.
How does it feel when you do that? If we’re honest, we’d have to say life really stinks. The Bible says that we are “seated with the Father in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” (Eph. 2:6) So right now we’re in the presence of God where all the “good stuff” we desire is found. The next time you think about putting your tools down, ask yourself, “Do I really want to get out of the warmth of God’s presence?”
