A short spoken reflection (YouTube #shorts) explaining the "sin of omission": failing to do what one knows is right is itself sin (James 4:17). The speaker ties this to Christian duty to proclaim the gospel (referencing the Great Commission in Matthew 28 and Jesus’ post-resurrection commissions) and warns that silence in the face of evil constitutes sin for followers of Christ.
He said, silence in the face of evil is evil itself. Yes. Which it is. It really is. Yeah. It really is. The sin of omission. Right. James 4:17. If you know what is good and don't do it, then that's sin. That's the sin of omission. We know oftentimes the. The sins that were explicitly told not to commit. Right. But the sin of omission, that's a big one because it's simply us not doing what we're supposed to do. And us, as. I won't even say church, even though I'm meaning it as the church Body. Yeah, right. The body of Christ. Us, as followers of Christ, we're called to boldly proclaim. Last week we talked about it, where we're sent out to all types of people with a message empowered by the Spirit. Yes. This is our. Our commission. We know the Great commission in Matthew 28. But that's like all four commissions that Jesus gave between his resurrection and his ascension into heaven. So if this is what we're called to do, if we're simply silent, that's sin. That's sin in itself. Yeah.
