This is a different perspective I haven’t considered previously. When we sin, yes we sin against God, but against nature also. Sinning is also the punishment of sin. When we sin or act outside of the will of God, there are always consequences and they are never good. Think, for example, of going out partying. It is such a good time in the moment, but over indulgence leads to a following tough day, if not more severe immediate outcomes like results of drunk driving. This is one of many possible examples. We live in a broken world as a result of the original sin, the result is sinning which is a punishment from the original sin because of existing in the broken reality. I hadn’t considered sin as the punishment for sin before, but it makes so much sense. We cannot live perfect, sin-free lives which is why we need Jesus - the reversal and redemption of sin.
We recognize gifts when we spend time with others. There is no other way. Imagine trying to coach someone to do something but never being near them.
