Levi reacted as Jesus would want the entirety of his supporters to do, he followed his Lord promptly, and he assembled his companions to meet him as well. Levi left a worthwhile and exploitative tax-collecting business to follow Jesus. Then Levi held a gathering for his kindred collectors and other scandalous sinners so they could meet Jesus as well. Levi left behind a material wealth to acquire spiritual wealth, and he was glad to be related with Jesus.

The Pharisees enveloped their wrongdoing by trying to be respectable. They caused themselves to look good by performing beneficial deeds publicly and pointing out the transgressions of others. Jesus decided to invest time and energy with individuals who detected their own transgression and realized that they were not adequate for God, not with these self-righteous, proud, and boastful religious leaders. We must repent of our sins that it may be possible to come to God. And for us to be possible to renounce our sins, we must recognize them for what they are.

Which of these sins are we guilty of?

1. The Sin of Disobedience to Command.

1 Samuel 12:15, “But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your father.”

Titus 1:16, “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

No individual is at any point excluded from God's Law. No human activity is outside his ward. God is the genuine King of each everyday issue. We should identify his majesty and arrange our connections, work-life, and homelife as indicated by his standards.

2. The Sin of Lack of Love for Christ.

Matthew 22:37, “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind.”

John 14:15, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

Jesus says that if we genuinely love God and our neighbor, we will keep his commandments. This is observing the laws of God in a positive way. As opposed to stressing about all that we should not do, we ought to focus on everything that can be done to show our adoration for God and others.

3. The Sin of Not Following Jesus.

Matthew 16:24, “Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

1 Peter 2:21, “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.”

When Jesus utilized this image of his believers taking up their crosses to follow him, the disciples knew what he was implying. A typical Roman technique for execution was that of crucifixion, and sentenced hoodlums needed to bring their own crosses through the roads to the execution site. Accordingly, Jesus implied a genuine commitment, the gamble of death, and no retreat (Matthew 10:39).

4. The Sin of Not Abiding in Christ.

1 John 2:6, “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.”

1 John 3:6, “Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen, neither known him.”

A Christian ought to do everything that Christ says for to him to do and live as Christ tells him to live. Genuine Christian faith brings about a caring way of behaving, for that reason John says that our way of behaving can guarantee us that we are Christ's.

5. The Sin of Dishonesty in Sacred Trust.

Mark 16:15, “And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”

Matthew 28:19, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

Jesus instructed his followers to go into all the world and let everybody know that he had suffered the consequence for their transgression and that those who have faith in him can be pardoned and live with God for all eternity.

6. The Sin of Folly of a Shortsighted Fool.

Proverbs 15:14, “The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.”

Proverbs 15:21, “Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.”

What we put into our minds is similarly as significant as what we feed our bodies. The sorts of books that we read, individuals that we talk with, the music that we pay attention to, and the movies that we watch are all essential for our mental state of health. What we feed our minds impacts our complete wellbeing and prosperity. Hence, a powerful urge to seek the truth is a sign of astuteness.
