Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust are important for us to consider as places where we are tempted to rebel. However, the list is not simply meant to leave us in the pit of despair. We can speak openly and honestly about sin because we believe in a God who will forgive us even while we are still sinners. We are never beyond the reach of a loving God.This list also can be a guide towards a flourishing life. In other words, by naming paths of unrighteousness we can also discern paths of righteousness.
