Abolish

 

    To abolish something is to formally put an end to a system, practice, or institution.  It is to do away with something that is not good.  As a Christian, we are meant to abolish sin from our lives in whatever format it may appear.

    When we abolish sin from our lives, then we are able to praise God with our whole hearts like the angels do.  We are able to see things more clearly.  That allows us to acknowledge all He created in the way it was designed to please God.  He commanded everything into existence.  That means when we take pleasure in His creation while acknowledging it as His creation, we are worshipping God.  

    God chose the location of where the universe is, where earth is in the universe, where and when you exist in the world.  It all has a reason.  Your existence is not an accident.  Even the weather obeys Him.  Do you really think He ever wanted pain or suffering?  No, it is a byproduct of sin.  

    Sin needs to be abolished.  When you abolish sin in your own heart, then you find yourself closer to God than you ever imagined.  Without sin consuming your heart, you are able to praise God in a way that honors him.  We need to seek to worship and praise God every day.   You can't complain if you are focused on praising God.
