Rebel Rebellion is direct and defiant opposition to authority. In god we recognize moral authority, but rebellion and sin desensitize people's hearts toward the correctness of God's ways, leading to further sin. When people are tangled up in rebellion, they disregard the laws and guidelines. God has instituted for their protection - a dangerous situation because apart from God, evil only increases. We need to inspect and rid our hearts of any signs of rebellion before rebellion robs us of our physical, emotional and spiritual health and brings the judgment of God. Rebellion against God is sin and has terrible
consequences. |
