FOR THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
All about SIN!#1
To understand Grace we must understand Sin
USING "NAVE'S TOPICAL BIBLE" FOR THESE STUDIES SIN - UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO, DEFINING AND ILLUSTRATING: Deut. 29:18. Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this dray from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood. 2 Chr. 12:14. And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord. Job 14:4. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. Job 22:5. Is not thy wickedness great and thine iniquities infinite? Psa. 25:11. For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 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. Prov. 4:23. Keep thy heart with all.diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Prov. 24:8. He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. 9. The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. Eccl. 5:6. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? Isa. 1:13. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and petrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. 18. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall bean white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isa. 44:20. He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, is there not a lie in my right hand? Jer. 7:24. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, went backward, and not forward. Jer. 17:9. The heart is [can be] deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked who can know it? Ezek. 20:16. Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols. Matt. 8:28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matt. 12:31.

(Mark :3:29; Luke 12:10; 1 John 5:16,17] 33. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. [Matt. 7:17,18] 34. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Luke 6:45. Matt. 13:24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25, But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one. 39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Matt. 15:2. Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread? 3. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4. For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6. And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophecy of you, Saying, 8. This people draweth nigh unto one, with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9, But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 10. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth it man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth the man. 12. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13, But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16. And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17, Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20. These are the things which defile it man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. John 8:34. Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto ,you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 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: 1:3. 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 of offence 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, its 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 reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 7:7. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 13. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. Rom. 14:23. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 1 Cor. 5:6. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Eph. 2:1. You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. Heb. 3:13. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Heb. 12:15. Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. Jas. 1:14. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Jas. 2:10. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. Jas. 4:1. From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2. Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 17. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 2 Pet. 1:4. That by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 1 John 3:1. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not [does not practice sin] whosoever sinneth [practices] hath not seen him, neither known him. 8. He that committeth sin [practices sin] is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9. Whosoever is born of [begotten] God doth not commit sin [does not practice]; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin [practice sin] because he is born of [begotten] God. 10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil whosoever doeth [practices] not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 5:17. All unrighteousness is sin.

CONFESSION OF SIN: Lev. 16:21. And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness. Num. 14:40. And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. 2 Sam. 24:10. And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, takeaway the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 17. And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house. 1 Chr. 21:17. 2 Chr. 29:6. For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs. Ezra 9:4. Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice. 5. And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God, 6. And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. 7. Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; 10. And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, 11. Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness. 12. Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever. 13. And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; 14. Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping? 15. O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this. Neh. 1:6. Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned. 7. We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses, vs. 8,9. Neh. 9:2. And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 3. And they stood still in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the Lord their God, 33. Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: 34. Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. 35. For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fact land which thou gravest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. vs. 5, 38. Job 7:20. I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, o thou preserver of men? Job 9:20. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Job 13:23. How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. Job 40:4. Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. Job 42:5. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear. but now my eye seeth thee. 6. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. Psa. 32:5. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Psa. 38:3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sill. 4. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me, 18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. Psa. 40:11. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve fill. 12. For innumerable evils have compassed me about; mine iniquities have taken told upon me, so that I am not able to look up: they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. Psa. 41:4. I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Psa. 51:2. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3. For l acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before the. 4.

For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities we know them. 13. In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the streets, and equity cannot enter. 15. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Isa. 64:5. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, we shall be saved. 6. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities like the wind, have taken us away. 7. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. Jer. 3:21. A voice heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord their God. 22. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God. 25. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our feathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God. Jer. 8:14. Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. 15. We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! Jer. 14:7. O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 20. We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. Jer. 31:18. I have surely heard Ephriem bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God. 19.

The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandments: 20. Behold, O Lord; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled, my heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled.

We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. Dan. 9:5. We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and front thy judgments: 6. Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 8. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. 9. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; 10. Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. 11. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; 12. And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 1 Cor. 15:9.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may he healed. (the context is about physical sicknesses - Keith Hunt) 1 John 1:8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. .......... ARE YOU SEEING THE IMPORTANCE OF SIN? YES IT IS NOT A PLEASANT MATTER, BUT TO UNDERSTAND THE CHARACTER OF MERCY, GRACE, FORGIVENESS, IN THE NATURE OF GOD, WE MUST OF THE ETERNAL GOD. THERE IS STILL MUCH MORE TO COVER ON THE SUBJECT OF SIN. Keith Hunt - September 2012 To be continued |
