SIN - Christian animated short film

Every Christian sins. Every child of light stumbles into momentary darkness. Every prince or princess acts like a rebel at times. As Christians in this world, we are sinners and saints. Redeemed, yet still needing to repent. Forgiven, yet still needing to forsake. Confessing Christ, yet still needing to confess sin. This reality of our lives is not easy. In fact, few moments in life pain or discourage the Christian more than the instant we become conscious of having committed yet another sin against our heavenly Father. Surely, it grieves us. And at times, it can lead to anxiety, guilt, melancholy, embarrassment, and even depression for many Christians.

Remind Yourself of these Comforts:

Forgiveness is yours. Forgiveness is not a possibility; it is already a reality (1 John 2:12).

A clean record is yours. Your debt is gone. The Lord paid the penalty, the record of debt has been cancelled, and the legal demands have been met. (Colossians 2:13-14).

Peace is yours. Grant yourself peace; God has. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1)

The guilt is not yours to carry. It has been born by another. “He said, ‘It is finished,’ and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit” (John 19:30).

The Father is yours. God continues to be your Everlasting Father. He continues to direct His love towards you. (Galatians 4:6-7)

Freedom is yours. You are not forsaken. Your sin does not need to be the start of a life lived in habitual sin. This isn’t the end. You remain in the palm of His hand. “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:28).

Christ’s prayers are yours. The faithful High Priest intercedes for you. Nothing is hidden from Him and He cries out for you (Hebrews 7:25).

Life is yours. Your life is not over. You are united to Christ and will persevere to the end (John 6:39-40).

Grace is yours. Though your sin may be great, Christ’s grace is greater still. We have grace upon grace in Christ our Lord (John 1:16).

You are not disqualified. God continues to use sinners for great purposes. God is not done working in you and through you. (1 John 2:1).

Remind Yourself of these Encouragements going forward:

You are not yet what you shall be. What a glorious thought! “Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2).

You are to be a holiness seeker. Holiness is a constant pursuit and endeavour. We have not arrived. The need for growth in knowledge, wisdom, love, and maturity echoes in the canyon of our fall. “Strive For peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14).

You are to be a sin-hater. Sin is an enemy that leads to death. It is no friend, it is not neutral, and it is not worth it! The consequences of sin always prove to be greater than any enjoyment found in it. “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).

You are to be a soldier. We need to have a wartime mentality. Every moment of our lives is lived in the midst of spiritual warfare. Our adversary is constantly prowling around seeking to devour us (1 Peter 5:8).

You are to be a watchman. Vigilance is necessary. One moment of not being on-guard can be a moment that shapes the rest of our lives, hurts those around us, and grieves our Lord (Matthew 26:41).

You are to run the race. Falling into sin reminds us that we have one goal: to finish the race before us to the glory of God. That is enough. The challenge is sufficient for a thousand life-times (2 Timothy 4:7).

You are to grow in the Lord. No matter how mature we thought we were in the faith, sin reminds us that we have a long way to go (Colossians 3:1-17).

You continue to need grace. Like a fish needs water, you need grace. You continue to need grace as much today as you did at your first coming to know Christ. Seek it, embrace it, and live in it. (Galatians 3:3).

A repentant and confessing Christian has much to remind themselves of when they fall into sin. We need the comfort of the gospel and its strong encouragements. We need reminders to quite our souls with peace regarding the past and reminders to galvanize them for action going forward. We have a great God. Let us never forget that. A God whose grace is sufficient for the past and whose strength is sufficient for the future.

God bless!

I didn't know God could speak to me in this way! Thank you God for showing me this video

[connerSphotography]

I always thought this animation was about drug abuse didn’t realize it was about sin. Very powerful message.

[lesjumellesgacha]

This video really was painful to watch. I mean I was like "bro stop doing that over and over again it's literally killing you" whereas I do the exact same thing everyday. I really am sorry Lord for all these times I've disobeyed your commandments. Guide me during my journey with you ❤

[joshuamartinpryce]

Sin is contagious as the video describes. Spirituality is also contagious when we put it into our system. As we grow spiritually and in experiences, what has been difficult to do, starts to become a part of us. Prayer is free and it really helps the spiritual journey and is an antidote for sin in Jesus name.

[danib]

Im struggling with sin right now. I have been struggling with this same sin over and over just like in this animation. And I feel just like the little bird feels. This is a great depiction of what it feels like.
Please pray for me if you can. <3

[youngqueencourage]

i love how they left the video on the last sin as if we were in the position of the duck and could decide whether to take it or not

[CAT-]

I pray that God will help me break the addiction to worrying and disordered eating I’ve been struggling with since I began high school.

[trizachettri]

Great video! Thnk u Jesus Christ❤for showing me this video.

[doreenmusee]

Perfect demonstration of how we play around with sin and its deceptive nature until its conceived within us killing us surely...This is so brilliant for youth retreat on Purity.Thankyou

[LukeHerchuk]

Wow that was a really powerful short film. It was very inspiring to me as a filmmaker trying to spread God's love. I was encouraged by this. Thank you!

[chosencalled]

we live perfect through the eternal Spirit there is no such thing as no one will ever be perfect..Jesus is my rightious and i live here as he is.blameless bcs i wore him....1peter 1;16"be ye holy as i am holy"

[derickgutierrez]

This is the perfect example I’ve seen. As sinning against your own body, lust.. Man I never want to chase death again

[Goliad_Respector]

The end of the video is the bird begging God for forgiveness while you lay there, the flood waters rise and you know they won’t roll back any time soon, the demons swarm like locusts in the darkness in the darkness of your room… even if you make it past the initial horror show of detox you’ll have to wait with the Patience or Job while you live day in and out with lethargy, pain, and a feeling in your heart like you’re going to have a heart attack at any moment. This is very tough.
