Asymptomatic

There is no right, not even one. Romans 3.10

During the Covid-19 epidemic in 2020, many patients were asymptomatic. They felt no sign of their infection, but could still pass it on. They could have said : "I'm not sick, I don't feel anything wrong with me !" But a medical test was enough to disabuse them.

Many behave about sin as asymptomatic. They look at those who commit serious acts and say to themselves : “I am not a bad person ! I'm not doing anything wrong ! "These are sick people who ignore each other.

In order for us to see ourselves as sinners, we need to be tested. In Jesus Christ, God has given us the test par excellence. Exposed to his life, we can only recognize : “I too am afflicted with the deadly virus of sin ! The only human being who is completely healthy morally, Jesus is the perfect revealer of the bad state of our heart. The good news is, he doesn't want to leave us in our trouble. He took charge of our faults and offers us his justice and a new quality of life. In exchange, he takes upon himself the evil that eats away at us and destroys us. Come to Jesus as you are ! Do not deny, under the pretext of being "asymptomatic", that you are tainted with sin. It's urgent ! The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ ! (Romans 6:23)

32.1 Blessed is he whose transgression is taken away, and whose sin is forgiven !

32.2 Blessed is the man whose guilt the Eternal does not take account of, and whose spirit does not know cunning !

32.3 As long as I was silent my body wasted away ; I was moaning all day

32.4 for night and day your hand was heavy on me. My vigor had given way to the drought of summer.

32.5 I have made known my sin to you ; I have not hidden my fault from you. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Eternal, and you have forgiven my sin.
