A Resident Evil

So, I have recently viewed the second and third installments of the Resident Evil movie series. Ironically enough, I can somewhat relate these movies to Christianity.
In these movies, the main cause for the hordes of walking dead is the T-Virus: a biological weapon that was accidentally released. This virus infects the body, kills it, then re-animates the body so it is a walking corpse that needs to feed off the flesh of the uninfected.
Sin, which is a "resident evil," works the very same way. It is a virus, an infection, if you will, that exists all around us. It kills us, spiritually and physically, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus" (Rom 6: 23). Therefore, when we become Christians and wholly dedicate our lives to Him and live our lives accordingly, the infection of Sin is destroyed by the Blood of Christ, the only antidote. Being covered by the Blood of Christ and His grace, we are freed from sin and live in Christ; it makes us dead to sin and alive to Christ(Rom 6:1-14).

It's just a thought.
