Sin Putting Myself in Place of God
Judging I am 100 objective, impartial, and judge accurately.
Revenge I have the right to administer justice on them.
Hatred I am qualified to condemn others because I am so good.
Unforgiveness I will keep a record of wrongs until they meet my standards.
Bitterness Im afraid that if I dont hold them to account, no one will.

forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS,
for He will save His people from their sins.
