To be sure, we often sin in and against vocation. Instead of serving, we want to be served. Instead of loving our neighbor, we often use our neighbor for our own selfish purposes. We constantly violate God’s design and His calling. As a result, our relationships are often twisted and unhappy, a source of conflict and misery. We must confess our sins against our vocations and against our neighbors and receive the forgiveness of Christ, who bore all of those sins in His body on the cross. And then, in faith, we find love again and work to restore those relationships. This is the Christian life.
