FRUITS OF SIN

Gen. 3:7. And eyes of them both were opened, and they know that

they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made

themselves aprons.  8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God

walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his

wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst 

the trees of the garden. 9. And the LORD God called unto Adam, 

and said unto him, Where art thou 10. And he said, I heard thy voice

in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid

myself. 11. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast

thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou

shouldest not eat? 12. And the man said, The woman whom thou

gayest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.    

13. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou

hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did

eat. 14. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou

hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every

beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt

thou eat all the days of thy life: 15. And I will put enmity

between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; 

it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16. Unto

the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy

conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy

desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 17.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the 

voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded

thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for

thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy

life: 18. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;

and thou shalt eat the herb of the field: 19. In the sweat of thy

face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for

out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt

thou return. 20. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she

was the mother of all living. 21. Unto Adam also and to his wife

did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 22. And

the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to

know good and evil and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take

also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:  23. Therefore the 

LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the 

ground from whence he was taken. 24. So he drove out the man; 

and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims,

and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way 

of the tree of life.

Gen. 4:9. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?

And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10. And he

said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood

crieth unto me from the ground. 11. And now art thou cursed from

the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's

blood from thy hand. 12. When thou tillest the ground, it shall

not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a

vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 13. And Cain said unto the

LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14. Behold, thou

hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth: and from

thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond

in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that

findeth me shall slay me.

Gen. 6:5. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the

earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart

was only evil continually. 6. And it repented the LORD that he

had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7.

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from

the face of the earth, both man, and beast, and the creeping

thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have

made them.

Thou shlt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of

astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria,

Rom. 5:12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,

and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all

have sinned: 13. (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin

is not imputed when there is no law). 14. Nevertheless death

reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned

after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure

of him that was to come. 15. But not as the offence, so also is

the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead,

much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by

one man, Jesus' Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16. And not as

it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was

by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences

unto justification. 17. For if by one man's offence death reigned

by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of

the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one; Jesus

Christ. 18. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon

all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the

free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For

as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the

obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20. Moreover the

law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin

abounded, grace did much more abound: 21. That as sin hath

reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through

righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rom. 7:5. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins,

which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth

fruit unto death.

1 Cor. 3:3. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you

envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk

as men?

1 Cor. 6:9. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit

the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor

idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of

themselves with mankind, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor

drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the

kingdom of God. 11. And such were some of you: but ye are 

washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name 

of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.    

Gal. 5:19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are

these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20.

Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,

strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness,

revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I

have also told you in time past, that they which do such things

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Gal. 6:7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a

man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8. For he that soweth to his

flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to

the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

1 Pet. 4:3. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have

wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in

lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings,

and abominable idolatries.

AH  THE  SUBJECT  OF  SIN  AND ITS  FINAL  RESULT  IS  NOT  A  PLEASANT  TOPIC  TO  SYUDY,  BUT  IT  IS  NEEDFUL  THAT  WE  DO.  FOR  ONLY  BY  STUDYING  AND  MEDITATING  ON  SIN  CAN  WE  COME  TO  FULLY  UNDERSTAND  THE  NATURE  OF  GOD,  THAT  GRANTS  MERCY,  GRACE,  JUSTIFICATION  AND  FORGIVENESS.  WE  CANNOT  FULLY  UNDERSTAND  GOD'S  GRACE  UNLESS  WE  UNDERSTAND  THE  DEPTH  OF  SIN  AND  IF  NOT  REPENTED  OF,  THE  SURE  AND  DIRE  CONSEQUENCES.
