All about SIN!
Understand Sin - Punishment of
TO UNDERSTAND THE MERCY, GRACE, JUSTIFICATION, FORGIVENESS OF GOD, WE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND SIN - AND HENCE WHY WE NEED MERCY, GRACE, FORGIVENESS. PUNISHMENT OF Gen. 2:7. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Gen. 3:16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shah brin 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 ring 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. (The subject of "childbirth with pain" and the truth of the matter is covered in a study of mine. Also the subject of how long thorns and thistles were to be a curse on earth, is covered in another study - Keith Hunt) Gen. 4:7. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. Gen. 6:3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: 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. (God "repenting" - I cover the truth of this part of the nature of God in a study - Keith Hunt) Gen. 18:20. And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous. Gen. 19:1:3. For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. Ex. 32:33. And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 34. Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. Ex. 34:7. Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. Lev. 26:14. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15. And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: 16. I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass. 20. And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. Num. 15.30. But the soul that doeth ought presumptously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31. Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him. Num. 32:23. But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. Job 21:17. How oft is the candle of the I wicked put out I and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. Psa. 95:10. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways; 11. Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. Jer. 44:2. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein. 3. Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers. 5. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods. 6. Wherefore my fury and mine singer was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day. .......... GOD DOES NOT TURN A BLIND EYE TO SIN FOREVER. HIS PATIENCE DOES COME TO AN END AND SIN IS PUNISHED. THE WAGES OF SIN IS STILL DEATH [ROMANS 6:23]. |
