Decay

When did you last visit dentist?
I visited dentist last week. The dentist told me I had decay on one of my teeth hence it had to be treated quickly so that it would not spread.

I felt so sad because I have tooth decayed easily so I asked the dentist: "Is it because I did not brush my teeth clean?"

"No! There are 2 reasons: one is genetic & another is the structure of your teeth therefore the food is stuck on them easily.” The dentist answered. Then she added “See, there is another potential decay here”. And she showed me another tooth.

When I apply this into my spiritual life, I fall into temptation and sin so easily. Why???
It is because I am a sinner (genetically from Adam the first man) and the world is corrupted by sin.
So, what can I do? I need Jesus who cleanses my sin & Holy Spirit to guide me through each time.

In Romans 5:12-21 "Death through Adam, Life through Christ."
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam), and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. [Romans 5:12]
For just as through the disobedience of the one man (Adam) the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man (Jesus Christ) the many will be made righteous. [Romans 5: 9].

Have you checked your teeth today? Do you need a dentist?
