Sin is an inside job before it's ever an outside job. It starts within. And you can even appear squeaky clean on the outside and be filthy on the inside. Remember what Jesus told the Pharisees, you're like whitewashed tombs. You're like these beautiful, decorated, ornate caskets. Everybody looks at you and thinks you're beautiful, but on the inside, you're full of dead men's bones. That's the idea. The gospel doesn't just judge actions. It judges the secrets of men, their thoughts, their intents, their motives are all laid bare before a holy god. It's possible this morning to fool everybody but not god.
