Luke 17 - The Warning about Sin

“ 1Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3So watch yourselves…"

We all have sinned and as Jesus said, there will be things that come about to cause us to sin; HOWEVER, we should NOT be the cause of sin to others. We have to watch our steps daily and be careful not to be the cause of other’s sin. We can influence others unintentionally to sin, while we were trying to help them, so we must be on guard and very mindful of our actions, set apart to a higher standard, not for piety but to show the glory of God. We do this by centering our focus on God, turning over control of our lives to Him, and being fully dependent on Him; therefore, when we interact with others, God shines through to them. We do not influence them to sin, rather we show them the grace and love of the Father.
