TO UNDERSTAND THE MERCY, GRACE, JUSTIFICATION, FORGIVENESS OF
GOD, WE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND SIN - AND HENCE WHY WE NEED MERCY,
GRACE, FORGIVENESS.
PEOPLE LOVING SIN
Job. 15:6. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which
drinketh iniquity like water?
Job. 20:12. Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he
hide it under his tongue; 13. Though he spare it, and forsake it
not; but keep it still within his mouth.
Prov. 2:14. Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the
frowardness of the wicked.
Prov. 4:17. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the
wine of violence.
Prov. 10:23. It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man
of understanding hath wisdom.
Prov. 16:30. He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things:
moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
Prov. 26:11. As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth
to his folly.
Jer. 14:10. Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they
loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet, therefore
the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their
iniquity, and visit their sins.
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.
Hos. 4:8. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their
heart on their iniquity.
Hos. 9:10. I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw
your fathers as the first in the fig tree at her first time: but
they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame;
and their abominations were according as they loved.
Mic. 7:3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the
prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward: and the great
man, he uttereth his mischievous desire so they wrap it up.
John 3:19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil. 20. For every one that doeth evil hateth
the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be
reproved.
John 12:43. For they loved the praise of men more than the praise
of God.
1 Pet. 3:19. By which also he went and preached unto the spirits
in prison; 20. Which sometime were disobedient, when once the
longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark
was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by
water.
2 Pet. 2:22. But it is happened unto them according to the true
proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again, and the sow
that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
..........
YES, SAD TO SAY, BUT MANY LIKE THE WAYS OF SIN MORE
THAN THE WAYS OF THE LORD. AND MAN THINKETH THERE IS A
WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO HIM, BUT THE END THEREOF IS
DEATH.
THE GREAT APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED AS RECORDED IN THE
BOOK OF ACTS, TO SAY, THERE WAS A TIME GOD WINKED AT
ALL THIS FOOLISHNESS AND SIN OF MANKIND, BUT NOW HE
CALLS ALL TO REPENTANCE. AS NEVER BEFORE FROM THE NEW
TESTAMENT TIMES GOD IS SENDING HIS MESSAGE OUT TO ALL
NATIONS, AND 100S OF THOUSANDS HAVE COME TO REPENTANCE
IN THE LAST 2,000 YEARS. ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?
