Reflections

I went to the dentist on Thursday morning and I was having two cavities filled. As my dentist drilled out the decay, I was thinking about sin and how sin represents the decay of a tooth. How Jesus took out all of our "decay", our sins. It would not help to just remove the decay, like the sins of our lives. He has to fix the decayed tooth by placing a "seal of LOVE" for us, like sealant a dentist uses. I was ever reminded that God uses Jesus Christ as our sealant for our lives. He is the bond between us and God. What would we do without "sealant"?

"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16

"Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30
