The Worms (theological concepts)

In theology, "The Worms" often refers to the moral and spiritual struggles faced by individuals concerning sin and redemption. This concept draws from biblical imagery, particularly in the idea that one's sins can lead to a state of decay or torment, akin to worms consuming a body. It emphasizes the importance of repentance and seeking forgiveness. The imagery serves as a metaphor for the consequences of living a life disconnected from spiritual truths, urging believers to reflect on their actions and strive for a deeper relationship with the divine to avoid spiritual decay.
