We need to make sure that we are vigilant for ungodliness in our own lives. God’s help is needed to rid ourselves of these things when found. His comfort is needed after those things are removed. Holy Spirit surveillance of our lives is critical for spiritual maturity.
So, we must be considerate in assessment of Babylon’s badness. Murderous currents were found in her heart. The thing is we, too, are not immune from steps in the wicked-spectrum. To be a Christian is to recognize that our own ongoing capability of evil-doing is intolerable to God. We do not get to a point where we are tolerable to God on our own. Always, always there is the need of mercy. The blood of Christ is never finished cleansing and protecting us until this life is done and his final charity is applied.
Expect evil in your heart and in the hearts of others. Don’t tolerate it, but confess it. God’s grace is sufficient to cleanse and to cheer. We would do well to apply that thought pattern to ourselves.
