What You Lose and What You Gain When You Sin Sin is not just a mistake; it’s a transaction. Every time humanity sins, something priceless is lost and something dangerous is gained. From Eden to this very moment, the pattern remains the same: You lose God-consciousness and gain self-consciousness. In the presence of God, Adam and Eve were clothed with innocence and divine awareness. But the moment sin entered, their eyes opened — not to holiness, but to shame. They hid, covered themselves, and became obsessed with self. Sin makes you the center of your universe and pushes God to the margins. You lose the power to do good and gain the inclination to do evil. Before sin, man’s nature was aligned with God’s will. After sin, man’s desires became corrupt. Romans 7:19 says, “For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.” Sin is not neutral; it weakens your will to do good and strengthens your capacity for rebellion. Instead of becoming like God, you become unlike Him. The serpent’s promise was that sin would make man like God. The tragedy is that it made us the opposite — fallen, broken, and alienated. Sin strips away the divine image and leaves behind a marred, distorted version of what God intended. But here’s the hope: Though sin robs, Jesus restores. Though sin binds, Jesus breaks chains. The cross was not a symbol of defeat, but of divine exchange. At Calvary, what was lost in Adam was reclaimed in Christ. I declare over your life today — every stronghold of sin is broken in the mighty name of Jesus! Your God-consciousness is being restored. Your power to choose righteousness is revived. And the divine image within you is being renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16). I admonish you to Stop tolerating what Christ died to defeat. Return to God. Run to the cross. Surrender your will. Break the cycle. And as you do, watch God restore what sin tried to steal.
