Tubercolusis Or Sin? Which has lasting consequences

Andrew Speaker and Atlanta lawyer, 31, made headlines during June first week,when he traveled on an international commercial flight with a rare form of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis travels through air, infects others who come in contact with affected air. Infected through the air we breathe, air could be contaminated. If a person is infected with tuberculosis,it will effect his/her health and could lead to death, which is physical.But more wasting disease is the sin which has eternal consequences. If TB contamination could travel through air, sin is infected by birth (Psalm 51:5) ,by the things that we see, hear and do. sight,thought,word,and deed could be affected and impaired because of sin. What is sin, the basic definition which the scripture teaches is the sin is lawlessness (Disobedience). (I John 3:4).
TB has lot of effects, it can spread to others, cripples a person,can even kill a person.But more worse and eternal are effects of the sin...

Effects of sin are

1. Sin separates from God. (Isaiah 59:2).

2. Sin breaks the fellowship with God (through hindered prayer). (Ps 66:18).

3. Sin hardens the heart. (Heart disease) (Heb 3:13).
