God pours a tremendous amount of grace upon us that we might live peaceful, happy lives, yet the flow of grace is pinched off by the effect of sin like placing a tourniquet on an artery. Barriers keep us from receiving the fullness of God's grace. This is the Effect of Sin, the subject of part 2 of the Lenten Logos series on Truth of the Spirit. The complex effect of sin in the world causes pain. Every sin, every hurt, every rejection, every ugly word wounds us. We begin to build up protective layers, but unlike a pearl whose finished product is lovely, we are like an onion with layers that bring tears to our eyes.
