How Disgusting Is Sin?

I love the famous and weighty statement by John Owen about sin that goes like this: "BE KILLING SIN OR SIN WILL BE KILLING YOU." Sin is a killer and it is a disgusting one at that. But if you're like me you don't always picture sin as disgusting. Sometimes you may even picture it as something pleasing or enticing and you play around with it. As I was struggling with temptation yesterday I started listening to two songs that paint a grouse and I think accurate picture of what sin really looks like in God's eyes.

The first is from Lecrae's song "Live Free":
"sin so bad it's a liar/ it's says we on the throne tells God to retire/ it's says He ain't enough/ and it says we want more/ is says He ain't Just and it says He ain't Lord/ Sin is the laugh at his power/ rape of his mercy/ mock of his patience/ it say He ain't worthy"

The second is from Timothy Brindle's song "The Sinfulness of Sin":
"Sin is lawlessness, an awful mess of haughtiness/
Sin is not being in awe of His ---Glory/
But degrading it and trading it for naughtiness/
It's treating God as piss/
It's disregarding that He exists as Sovereign/
It's more sickening than kissing harlots lips/
Whose breath stinks worse than garbage mixed/
With the rawest fish after she gargles spit/
Sin's an awful virus that wants your iris/
Clogs your sinus, gives you thoughts of violence/
Woe to those who think it's not inside us/
Your heart despises the awesome Highness/
Gross scum, sin is so loathsome/
And it's shown most by the propitiation of His own Son/
Who so hung and choke both lungs/
It's odor to Jehovah its worse than smoked dung/
I pray this makes you vomit your whole inners/
To display how abominable sin is/
To the honorable God who's my witness/
If we take sin lightly, let's go to the cross to convince us/
Where He slaughtered the sinless/
Infinitely valuable Son who paid an infinite cost for forgiveness/
Cause that's the only way the infinitely holy Yahweh can take us off of His hit list.

Hook:
Sin is any thought that's not morally pure/
Sin is loving anything else more than the Lord/
Sin is breaking His laws, forsaking His commandments/
Sin is hatred for God, it's blatantly Satanic

Verse 2:
Sin's idolatry and serving yourself/
It's hating God's riches and worshipping wealth/
Sin is substituting other ugly doings/
For God the Son who's the lovely true King/
Sin is taking His glory and stomping, trampling on it/
Often we're mocking dancing upon it/
Sin is not enjoying what's most glorious/
Namely the Lord so of course He's abhorring this/
It's not valuing what's most valuable/
Namely the Hallowed King who's so powerful/
Sin is not thanking God, it's ingratitude/
For this grim attitude, His wrath is due/
And every time we err or a lie is blurred/
The Bible says that we've despised His Word/
It's not just sexual sin detested by Him/
But any expression of enmity manifested within/
From silent pride to violent eyes/
to the finest thighs we idolize/
Or the wisest guys who privatize bribes they hide/
It's all despised in the Messiah's eyes/
You're too pure to look at evil of crooked people/
Who took cathedrals and made them crooks casinos/
It's God's most despicable enemy/
Sin would be the grossest sight if it were a physical entity.

When I dwell on these depictions of sin it helps to align my mind and my heart to hate sin and love Jesus because it is only because of him that I was saved, I am being saved, and I will be saved from my sin.
