Sin should never surprise us. We are after all sinners. In a sordid way, sin is expected of us.
What should surprise us, however, is when God empowers us to obey him in some matter.
In John 15:5, Christ says, “For apart from me you can do nothing.”
Any obedience on our part comes from Christ. None of it comes of ourselves, our strength, or power.
God gets all the credit.
Author Barbara Duguid writes, “God is glorified in our weakness in so many ways. How would we ever know his patience if we did not sin time and time again? How could we ever plumb the depths of his love if we did not sin against it over and over again, only to find that his forgiveness is endless and his love unshakable?”
