 PERSPECTIVES  ON  SIN #1

by Keith Hunt


From  the  book:  

"750  Engaging  Illustrations"



In a book called All Thumbs Guide to VCRs, which is a repair guide for amateurs, author Gene Williams begins with a warning. He writes:

Getting a jolt from the incoming 120 volts ac (120 Vac) is more than just unpleasant; it can be fatal. Studies have shown that it takes very little current to kill. Even a small amount of current can paralyze your muscles, and you won't be able to let go. Just a fraction more and your heart muscle can become paralyzed.


Williams knows that the naive amateur repairman doesn't have sufficient respect for the lethal power of electricity. The amateur knows that a shock hurts but he thinks he can always let go of the wire. It is the paralyzing power of even a small amount of electricity that makes it so dangerous.


So it is with sin. People dabble with sin because they don't fear its power to paralyze the muscles of the soul. Then it's too late. Even when people know a sinful behavior is hurting them and they want to quit, they can't let go. Sin is never safe!

……


When people dabble in sin and seemingly get away with it, they gain a false sense of security. They're like swimmers in shark-infested waters.


In an article about the great white shark, which hunts off the coast of central California, writer Tom Cunneff says that sharks return year after year to particular areas and they put a dedicated effort into a single attack. A shark stalks its prey at a favorite location by swimming three to ten feet off the bottom in shallow water (30 to 110 feet), waiting up to three weeks before darting to the surface for an attack. Cunneff described one such attack.


In December, James Robinson, a sea-urchin diver, was killed by a great white off San Miguel Island, near Santa Barbara. Robinson, 42, was doing what he had done hundreds of times before—treading water as he took off his diving gear and placed it aboard his boat. In an instant, though, the activity turned from the familiar to the fatal as the shark shot up from the depths for a swift kill. Two crew members stowing equipment on the boat whirled around when they heard Robinson scream. "A great white bit me," is all Robinson, his right leg nearly severed, could mutter once they pulled him onto the deck. He died a few hours later.


Just as this shark stalked its prey, so does Satan. If you choose to linger in the ocean of sin, you can be sure of this: There is a shark in the waters. And sooner or later ...

In generations past, smallpox was a much feared disease. It killed hundreds of millions of people and scarred and blinded many more. It was highly infectious, contracted by breathing the exhaled breath of an infected person.


At one time there was no cure for smallpox. During the Middle Ages, smallpox epidemics often raged across Asia, Africa, and Europe. In some wars more soldiers died from smallpox than from combat.


In 1796 an English physician named Edward Jenner developed the first smallpox vaccine, says writer Donald Henderson in the World Book Encyclopedia, and the vaccination soon spread around the world. Many countries required by law that citizens be inoculated.


The health effort was a great success. In the 1940s smallpox was completely eradicated in Europe and North America. In 1967 only thirty countries still suffered the ravages of smallpox. The World Health Organization began an aggressive program in Africa, Asia, and South America to completely eradicate smallpox from the earth. Vaccination teams traveled from village to village searching for smallpox cases. In 1970 only seventeen countries still suffered from the disease. In 1978 the World Health Organization announced that the world's last known case of naturally occurring smallpox was in Somalia in October 1977……


It's hard to imagine that such a deadly disease could be completely annihilated. It's also hard to imagine a world cleansed of the plagues of sin and death and evil. But God will one day judge the earth, and by the authority of Christ, sin and death and all that is evil will be thrown into the lake of fire. God will create a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwells only righteousness.

In 1982, "ABC Evening News" reported on an unusual work of modern art—a chair affixed to a shotgun. It was to be viewed by sitting in the chair and looking directly into the gunbarrel. The gun was loaded and set on a timer to fire at an undeterrnined moment within the next hundred years.


The amazing thing was that people waited in lines to sit and stare into the shell's path! They all knew that the gun could go off at point-blank range at any moment, but they were gambling that the fatal blast wouldn't happen during their rninute in the chair.


Yes, it was foolhardy, yet many people who wouldn't dream of sitting in that chair live a lifetime gambling that they can get away with sin. Foolishly they ignore the risk until the inevitable self-destruction.

……


A man living in a forested area found his home overrun with mice—too many to exterminate with traps. So he bought a few boxes of d-Con and distributed them around the house, including one under his bed. That night he couldn't believe his ears; below him, was a feeding frenzy. In the morning he checked the box and found it licked clean.


Just to make sure the plan worked, he bought and placed another box. Again, the mice went for the flavored poison like piranha.


But the tasty and popular nighttime snack did its deadly work. In the days that followed, all was quiet. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good for you. In fact, it can be deadly—like sin.

Time-lapse photography compresses a series of events into one picture. Such a photo appeared in an issue of National Geographic. Taken from a Rocky Mountain peak during a heavy thunderstorm, the picture captured the brilliant lightning display that had taken place throughout the storm's duration. The time-lapse technique created a fascinating, spaghetti-like web out of the individual bolts.


In such a way, our sin presents itself before the eyes of God. Where we see only isolated or individual acts, God sees the overall web of our sinning. What may seem insignificant—even sporadic—to us and passes with hardly a notice creates a much more dramatic display from God's panoramic viewpoint.


The psalmist was right when he wrote, "Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. Keep back your servant from presumptuous sins."

WELL  SUCH  IS  TRUE  UNTIL  WE  REPENT  AND  KEEP   REPENTANT  ATTITUDE  OF  MIND.  THEN  THERE  IS  NO  WEB  OF  SINNING,  AS  WE  ARE  WITH  THAT  MIND-SET  CLEASNED  CONTINUALLY  WITH  THE  BLOOD  OF  CHRIST,  AND  HIS  INTERCEDING  WORK  AS  OUR  HIGH  PRIEST   IN  HEAVEN  AT  THE  FATHER'S  RIGHT  HAND   Keith Hunt

Thomas Costain's history, The Three Edwards, describes the life of Raynald III, a fourteenth-century duke in what is now Belgium.


Grossly overweight, Raynald was commonly called by his Latin nickname, Crassus, which means "fat."


After a violent quarrel, Raynald's younger brother Edward led a successful revolt against him. Edward captured Raynald but did not kill him. Instead, he built a room around Raynald in the Nieuwkerk castle and promised him he could regain his title and property as soon as he was able to leave the room.


This would not have been difficult for most people since the room had several windows and a door of near-normal size, and none was locked or barred. The problem was Raynald's size. To regain his freedom, he needed to lose weight. But Edward knew his older brother, and each day he sent a variety of delicious foods. Instead of dieting his way out of prison, Raynald grew fatter.


When Duke Edward was accused of cruelty, he had a ready answer: "My brother is not a prisoner. He may leave when he so wills."


Raynald stayed in that room for ten years and wasn't released until after Edward died in battle. By then his health was so ruined he died within a year ... a prisoner of his own appetite.

Mike Yaconelli writes in The Wittenburg Door:

I live in a small, rural community. There are lots of cattle ranches around here, and every once in a while a cow wanders off and gets lost.... Ask a rancher how a cow gets lost, and chances are he will reply, "Well, the cow starts nibbling on a tuft of green grass, and when it finishes, it looks ahead to the next tuft of green grass and starts nibbling on that one, and then it nibbles on a tuft of green grass right next to a hole in the fence. It then sees another tuft of green grass on the other side of the fence, so it nibbles on that one and then goes on to the next tuft. The next thing you know the cow has nibbled itself into being lost."


Americans are in the process of nibbling their way to lost-ness.... We keep moving from one tuft of activity to another, never noticing how far we have gone from home or how far away from the truth we have managed to end up.

In A View from the Zoo, Gary Richmond, a former zookeeper, has this to say:

Raccoons go through a glandular change at about 24 months. After that they often attack their owners. Since a 30-pound raccoon can be equal to a 100-pound dog in a scrap, I felt compelled to mention the change coming to a pet raccoon owned by a young friend of mine, Julie. She listened politely as I explained the coming danger.


I'll never forget her answer. "It will be different for me...." And she smiled as she added, "Bandit wouldn't hurt me. He just wouldn't."


Three months later Julie underwent plastic surgery for facial lacerations sustained when her adult raccoon attacked her for no apparent reason. Bandit was released into the wild.


Sin, too, often comes dressed in an adorable guise, and as we play with it, how easy it is to say, "It will be different for me." The results are predictable.

In 1997 Timothy McVeigh was convicted of bombing the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. During the trial one of McVeigh's old army friends testified in court and made a revealing observation about human nature.

According to Jo Thomas in the New York Times, the friend said, "I'd known Tim for quite a while. If you don't consider what happened in Oklahoma, Tim is a good person."


Most of us have a similar outlook on ourselves as we consider the prospect of standing before the Judge of all the earth someday. No, we likely have not been found guilty of murder, but we can downplay our sins and judge ourselves by what we have done right. We think, If this or that isn't taken into account, I'm a good person.


The problem for us is that these failings of ours are gravely serious in the sight of a holy God, whose standard is perfect righteousness. He does not overlook any sin. Without a Savior, every person faces eternal judgment.

The thirty-seven-year-old New York man was a small-time crook, the kind who would mug little old ladies for the cash in their purses. But on Sunday, July 21, 1996, this crook messed with the wrong little old lady. According to the Chicago Tribune, the mugger bumped into a ninety-four-year-old woman in Greenwich Village and snatched her wallet. The NYPD later picked him up, and as they drove him to the station, police lieutenant Robert McKenna told the suspect, "You just robbed the mother of the biggest mob chieftain in New York."


The ninety-four-year-old woman was Yolanda Gigante, and her son is Vincent Gigante, described by authorities as head of the Genovese mob, the nation's most powerful Mafia family.


The police lieutenant later said, "When the perp heard that, he just slumped down into the backseat of the radio car. He had a sort of stunned, resigned look on his face, sort of saying, 'How could I be so stupid?'" 


Whenever we sin, we get ourselves into more trouble than we bargained for.

Sinful Nature


"Pali, this bull has killed me." So said Jose Cubero, one of Spain's most brilliant matadors, before he lost consciousness and died.


Only 21 years old, he had been enjoying a spectacular career. However, in this 1985 bullfight, Jose made a tragic mistake. He thrust his sword a final time into a bleeding, delirious bull, which then collapsed. Considering the struggle finished, Jose turned to the crowd to acknowledge the applause.


The bull, however, was not dead. It rose and lunged at the unsuspecting matador, its horn piercing his back and puncturing his heart.


Just when we think them dead, sinful desires rise and pierce us from, behind. We should never consider the sinful nature dead before we are.

PERSPECTIVE  ON  SIN  #2


From  "Swindoll's  Ultimate  Book  of  Illustrations  and  Quotes"


SIN


The late president Galvin Coolidge returned home from attending church early one Sunday afternoon. His wife had been unable to attend, but she was interested in what the minister spoke on in the service. Coolidge responded, "Sin." She pressed him for a few words of explanation. And being a man of few words with his wife, he responded, '"Well, I think he was against it."

—Paul Lee Tan, Encyclopedia of 7,700 Illustrations


A certain man wanted to sell his house in Haiti for $2,000. Another man wanted to buy it, but because he was poor, he couldn't afford the full price. After much bargaining, the owner agreed to sell the house for half the original price with, just one stipulation: he would retain ownership of one small nail protruding from just over the door.


After several years, the original owner wanted the house back, but the new owner was unwilling to sell. So the first owner went out, found the carcass of a dead dog, and hung it from the single nail he still owned. Soon the house became unlivable, and the family was forced to sell the house to the owner of the nail.


The moral of the parable is, "If we leave the devil with even one small peg in our life, he will return to hang his rotting garbage on it, making it unfit for Christ's habitation."

Leadership, Spring 1983


Sin does not serve well as a gardener of the soul. It landscapes the contour of the soul until all that is beautiful has been made ugly; until all that is high is made low; until all that is promising is wasted. Then life is like the desert—parched and barren. It is drained of purpose. It is bleached of happiness. Sin, then, is not wise, but wasteful. It is not a gate, but only a grave.

—C. Neil Strait, quoted in Lloyd Cory Quote Unquote


The greater the man, the dearer price he pays for a short season of sinful pleasure.

—F. B. Meyer, David


Believers throughout church history—the early church fathers, the Reformers, the Puritans—have been inspired by Scripture to reduce spirituality to two lists known as "the seven deadly sins and the seven virtues" of saintliness. The former includes pride, envy, anger, sloth, avarice, gluttony, and lust. The latter includes wisdom, justice, courage, temperance, faith, love, and hope. Even though it finds its origin in one whose life was not centered on Christ our Lord, Mahatma Gandhi's own list of "seven deadly sins" in the form of contrasts deserves our attention: Wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, politics without principle.

—Max DePree, Leadership is an Art


The grass on the other side is often not greener and often not even edible.

—James Dobson


The first and worst of all fraud is to cheat oneself. All sin is easy after that.

—-Philip Bailey, nineteenth-century poet


Let's say we were to get twenty of the best broad jump or long jump athletes in the world and take them to Huntington Beach pier and line them up. And let's say they were instructed, "We want you to jump as far as you can out into the water." Some could jump twenty-five feet. Some would come near the record and jump twenty-seven. Perhaps one could set a new record and jump twenty-nine or thirty feet. But nobody could jump to Catalina Island. It is humanly impossible. Every person would miss the mark because Catalina Island is twenty-six miles away. In Romans 3:23 there is the universal statement that God gives to all men when He says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."


All have missed the mark. All may have tried, but not one of them even came close to a spiritual Catalina, if you please. They all jump, they all tried all sorts of things, but by birth, by choice, by action, by nature, man constantly misses the mark, no matter how good his intentions may be.

—J. Vernon McGee, quoted in Paul Lee Tan, Encyclopedia of 7,700 Illustrations


During my hitch in the marines back in 1958, I was stationed on Okinawa where there was a leprosarium. At that time I was playing in the third division band in the Marine Corps and we were to do a performance on that north part of the island of Okinawa.


I had read about leprosy, but I had never seen a leper and I wasn't really prepared for what I saw. We went over a bridge or two and got into the interior of this compound. I saw stumps instead of hands. I saw clumps instead of fingers. I saw half faces. I saw one ear instead of two. I saw the dregs of humanity unable even to applaud our performances. I saw in the faces of men, women, and even some teenagers an anguish crying out. We could play music for them, but we could not cleanse them of their disease.


In Scripture leprosy is a picture of sin. And we see that it is cleansed rather than healed. Only Jesus' blood has the power to cleanse us of our condition of sinful corruption. Now I understand when Scripture says, "He was moved with compassion."  

Because of sin, man has taken the deity out of religion, the supernatural out of Christianity, the authority from the Bible, God out of education, morality and virtue out of literature, beauty and truth out of art, ethics out of business, fidelity out of marriage.

Sin


Many Christians define sin as the sum total of acts which they themselves do not commit.

Carlyle Marney (Self-evaluation, Pride)


I have more trouble with D. L. Moody than any other man I know.

D. L. Moody (Self-awareness, Character)


You can't repent of confusion of psychological flaws inflicted by your parents—you're stuck with them. But you can repent of sin. Sin and repentance are the only grounds for hope and joy. The grounds for reconciled, joyful relationships. John Alexander (Repentance, Confession)


Contrary to popular opinion, sin is not what you want to do but can't; it is what you should not do because it wall hurt you—and hurt you bad. . . . God is not a policeman; he is a Father concerned about his children. When a child picks up a snake and the father says, "Put that down right this minute!" the child thinks he's losing a toy. The fact is, he is not losing a toy; he is losing a snake.

Steve Brown (Discipline, Correction)


People in general, Christian people in particular, tend to divide sins into two categories: their sins and our sins. The Bible, of course, knows no such distinction. Sin is sin, without partiality shown to the sins of God's people—our sins.

Joe Bayly (Judgment, Guilt)


Whenever God touches sin it is independence that is touched, and that awakens resentment in the human heart. Independence must be blasted clean out, there must be no such thing left, only freedom, which is very different. Freedom is the ability not to insist on my rights, but to see that God gets his.

Oswald Chambers (Independence, Freedom)

In his book Fuzzy Memories, Jack Handey writes: There used to be this bully who would demand my lunch money every day. Since I was smaller, I would give it to him. Then I decided to fight back. I started taking karate lessons. But then the karate lesson guy said I had to start paying him five dollars a lesson. So I just went back to paying the bully.

Too many people feel it is easier just to pay the bully than it is to learn how to defeat him.



Humor


After telling a class of four to seven-year-olds the story of Adam and Eve, I began to quiz them. "What was Eve's punishment for disobeying God?" I asked. A bright-eyed girl raised her hand. "She had to crawl on her belly and eat dirt for the rest of her life."

Ellen Cowan (Disobedience, Women)


I had just finished a lesson on Christian behavior. "Now, Billy" I asked, "tell me what we must do before we can expect to be forgiven for our sins."

Without hesitation, Billy replied, "First we gotta sin."

Clara Null (Forgiveness, Repentance)

of God of none effect by your tradition. 7. Ye hypocrites, well
did Esaias prophecy of you, Saying, 8. This people draweth nigh

me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.  10. And he

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:

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

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.

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

heart words of falsehood. 14. And judgment is turned away
backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in

backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art
the Lord our God. 25. We lie down in our shame, and our

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 
BE  WILLING  TO  LET  ALL  THE  SCRIPTURES  IN  THE  WORD  OF 
GOD  PERTAINING  TO  SIN, SINK  DEEP  INTO  OUR  HEART  AND 
MIND.  FOR  ONLY  COMING  TO  ACKNOWLEDGE  WE  ARE  SINNERS,  CAN 
WE  HOPE  TO  RECEIVE  THE  MERCY,  GRACE,  AND  FORGIVENESS  OF 
THE  ETERNAL  GOD.

THERE  IS  STILL  MUCH  MORE  TO  COVER  ON  THE  SUBJECT  OF

GRACE, FORGIVENESS.

CONTINUING WITH THE SUBJECT OF SIN

CONSEQUENCES OF SIN, ENTAILED UPON CHILDRIN:

iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation of them that hate me; Ex. 34:7.

Lev. 26:39. And they that are left of you shall pine away in
their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities
of their fathers shall they pine away with them.  v. 40.

Num. 14:33. And your children shall wander in the wildeness for
forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your caresses, be
wasted in the wilderness.

Job 5:4. His children are far from safety, and they are crushed
in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

Job 18:19. He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people,
nor any remaining in his dwellings.

Job. 21:19. God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he
rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

Psa. 21:10. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and
their seed from among the children of men.

Psa. 37:28. For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his
saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked
shall he cut off.

Psa. 109:9. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg; let them
seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

Prov. 11:11. The house of thewicked shall - be overthrown: but
the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

Isa. 14:20. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because
thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of
evildoers shall never be renowned. 21. Prepare slaughter for his
children for the iniquity of their fathers, that they do not
rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with
cities. 22. For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of
hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son,
and nephew, saith the LORD.

Jer. 31:29, In those days they shall say no more. The fathers
have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on
edge. 30. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man
that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Jer. 32:18. Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and

children after them: Isa. 65:7.

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.

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 tho
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.

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.

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

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.

good. 8. Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful
kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth;
saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith
the LORD.

Hab. 2:11. For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam
out of the timber shall answer it.

Mal. 2:14. Yet ye say, Wherefore?  Because the LORD hath been
witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou
hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife
of thy covenant.

Matt. 10:26. Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing
covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be
known.

Matt. 22:18. But Jesus perceived their wickedness. and said, Why

had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst.

John 4:17. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus
said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband 18. For
thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy
husband in that saidst thou truly. 19. The woman said unto him,
Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

John 5:42. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in
you.

Rev. 2:23. And I will kill her children with death; and all the
churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and
hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your
works.

IT  IS  VERY  SOBERING  TO  REALIZE  WE  CANNOT  HIDE  FROM  GOD; 
WE  CANNOT  PUT  OUR  SINS  UNDER  A  COVER,  INTO  A  BOX  AND 
HIDE  THEM  FROM  THE  LORD.

WE  REALLY  DO  HAVE  ONLY  ONE  WAY  TO  FIND  ETERNAL  LIFE: 
TO  CONFESS  OUR  SINS,  TO  ACCEPT  JESUS'  DEATH  AND  SHED 
BLOOD,  TO  ACCEPT  HIM  AS  OUR  PERSONAL  SAVIOR,  AND  TO 
REPENT  OF  BEING  A  SINNER,  AND  SET  OUR  WAY  OF  LIFE  IN 
CONFORMITY  TO  THE  WILL  OF  GOD,  TO  SERVE  AND  OBEY  HIS 
COMMANDMENTS,  AND  TO  BE  WILLING  TO  LIVE  BY  HIS  EVERY 
WORD  AS  JESUS  TAUGHT  WE  SHOULD -  MATTHEW  4:4.

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.

to his folly.

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

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?

NATIONAL PUNISHMENT

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.

(A study on this shocking statement "it repented me that I have
made them" can be found in a study on this website - under
 "All about God" - Keith Hunt)

Gen. 7:21. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of
fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22. All in whose
nostrils was the I breath of life, of all that was in the dry
land, died.

(The truth of Noah's flood is found on this website - Keith Hunt)

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. 22. I
will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number;
and your high ways shall be desolate. 23. And if ye will not be
reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
24. Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you
yet seven times for your sins. 25. And will bring a sword upon
you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye
are gathered together within your cities, I will send the
pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of
the enemy. 26. Avd when I have broken the staff of your bread,
ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall
deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not
be satisfied.  27. And if ye will not for all this hearken unto
me, but walk contrary unto me; 28. Then I will walk contrary unto
you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times
for your sins, 29. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and
the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30. And I will destroy
your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your
carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor
you. 31. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your
sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of
your sweet odours. 32. And I will bring the land into desolation:
and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a
sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities
waste. 34. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it
lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then, shall
the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.  35. As long as it lieth
desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths,
when ye dwelt upon it. 36. And upon them that are left alive of
you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of
their enemies and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them;
and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall
when none pursu eth. 37. And they shall fall one upon another, as
it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no
power to stand before your enemies. 38. And ye shall perish among
the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

(All this did finally happen to Israel and Judah. God is no
respector of persons. Many great Empires have come and gone down
through history because they became too evil, too vain, and so
the mighty did fall - Babylon, Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome, have
all fallen by destruction. So it will be in the last days of this
age. The mighty will fall once more - nations will be laid to the
ground, people crushed and killed and scattered. Bible prophecy
marches on to the time when Jesus will need to return or no felsh
will be saved alive - Keith Hunt)
 
Deut. 9:5. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of
thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the
wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out
from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD
sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Job 34:29. When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble?
and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it
be done against a nation, or against a man only: 30. That the
hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

Isa. 19:4. And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a
cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the
Lord, the LORD of hosts.

Jer. 12:17. But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up
and  destroy that nation, saith the LORD.

Jer. 25:31. A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for
the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with
all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith
the LORD. 32. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go
forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be
raised up from the coasts of the earth. 33. And the slain of the
LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the
other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither 
gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. 34.
Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes,
ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of
your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a
pleasant vessel. 35. And the shepherds shall have no way to flee,
nor the principal of the flock to escape. 36. A voice of the cry
of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock,
shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture; 37. And
the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce
anger of the LORD.  38. He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion:
for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the
oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

Jer. 46:28. Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD:
for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations
whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of
thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee
wholly unpunished.

Ezek. 16:49. Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,
pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and
in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor
and needy. 50. And they were haughty, and committed abomination
before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

Jonah 1:2. Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against
it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
..........

SO  IT  HAS  BEEN  FOR  ALL  NATIONS  ON  EARTH  DOWN  THROUGH 
HISTORY.  GOD  WILL  GIVE  THEM  THE  REWARD  OF  THEIR 
WICKEDNESS  AND  SIN. 

AND  SO  IT  SHALL  BE  AT  THE  END  OF  THIS  AGE  -  MOST 
PROPHECY  OF  THE  BIBLE  IS  FOR  THE  VERY  LAST  42  MONTHS 
OF  THIS  AGE.  ALL  EXPOUNDED  FOR  YOU  ON   MY  WEBSITE.

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

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

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

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.

PAUL  WAS  INSPIRED  TO  TELL  US  THAT  THE  LONGSUFFERING  OF 
THE  LORD  TOWARDS  SIN,  IS  TO  ALLOW  THE  SINNER  TIME  TO 
REPENT.

DEATH  AND  DESTRUCTION -  RIGHTEOUSNESS  REAPS  LIFE  ETERNAL, 
NOT  THAT  WE  ARE  SAVED  BY  WORKS,  NO,  WE  ARE  SAVED  BY

Prov. 6:16. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are
an abomination unto him: 17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and

among brethren.

Prov. 15:8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the

the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind? 22. So

..........

GOD  HATES  SIN!!  AND  OFTEN  THAT  WHICH  IS  HIGHLY  ESTEEMED 
AMONG  MEN,  IS  AN  ABOMINATION  IN  THE  SIGHT  OF  GOD.

A  LOT  OF  TEACHINGS  AND  PRACTICES  OF  THE  CHRISTIAN  WORLD 
ARE  AN  ABOMINATION  IN  GOD'S  SIGHT.  THEY  BE  THE  DOCTRINES 
AND  FALSE  IDEAS  OF  MEN.  JESUS  EVEN  SAID  THAT  YOU  COULD 
WORSHIP  HIM  IN  VAIN,  THAT  ALL  YOUR  OUTWARD  FORMS  OF 
RELIGIOUS  WORSHIP  WERE  WORTHLESS  IF  THEY  WERE  FALSE. 
JESUS  SAID  GOD  SEEKS  PEOPLE  WHO  WORSHIP  HIM  IN  SPIRIT 
AND  IN  TRUTH.

DO  YOU  KNOW  WHY  YOU  PRACTICE  YOUR  CHRISTIAN  RELIGION? 
HAVE  YOU  RESEARCHED  AND  STUDIED  WHY  YOU  DO  AND  BELIEVE 
WHAT  YOU  DO?  HAVE  YOU  SEARCHED  THE  SCRIPTURES  TO  MAKE 
SURE  YOUR  CHRISTIAN  BELIEFS  AND  PRACTICES  ARE  ACCORDING 
TO  THE  TEACHINGS  OF  THE  LORD?

GOD  HATES  SIN  AND  ALL  FALSEHOODS.  HE  IS  PATIENT  AND 
LONGSUFFERING  TO  ALLOW  YOU  TIME  TO  REPENT  OF  SIN  AND 
ALL  THAT  IS  WRONG  AND  FALSE.

MAYBE  IT  IS  TIME  FOR  YOU  TO  CHECK  UP  ON  WHY  YOU  DO 
THE  THINGS  YOU  DO,  AND  WHY  YOU  BELIEVE  THE  THINGS  YOU 
BELIEVE.

UNDERSTANDING SIN #10

REPUGNANT TO THE RIGHTEOUS

Gen. 39:7. And it came to pass after these things, that his
master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with
me.  8. But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold,
my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath
committed all that he hath to my hand; 9. There is none greater
in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me
but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great
wickedness, and sin against God?

Deut. 7:26. Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine
house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt
utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a
cursed thing.

Job 1:1. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job;
and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God,
and eschewed evil.

Job 21:16. Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of
the wicked is far from me.

Job 22:18. Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the
counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Psa. 26:5. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will
not sit with the wicked. 9. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor
my life with bloody men.

Psa. 84:10. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Psa. 101:3. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate
the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4. A
froward heart shall depart from me. I will not know a wicked
person. 7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my
house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.      

Psa. 119:104. Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore
I hate every false way.  (v. 126.] 113. I hate vain thoughts:
I but thy law do I love. 163. I hate and abhor lying: but thy law
do I love.

Psa. 120:2. Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a
deceitful tongue. 5. Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that
I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6. My soul hath long dwelt with
him that hateth peace. 7. I am for peace: but when I speak, they
are for war.

Psa. 139:19. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from
me therefore, ye bloody men. 20. For they speak against thee
wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21. Do not I
hate them, O LORD, that hate thee ? and am not I grieved
with those that rise up against thee?   22. I hate them with
perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

Prov. 8:13. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and
arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Prov. 29:27. An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he
that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Jer. 9:2. Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of
wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them, 
for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

Rom. 7:15. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would,
that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 19. For the good that
I would I do not: but the evil which I would not that I do. 23.
But I see another I law in my members, warring against the law of
my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which
is in my members. 24. O wretched man that I am I who shall
deliver me from the body of this death?

2 Pet. 2:7. And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy
conversation of the wicked: 8. (For that righteous man dwelling
among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from
day to day with their unlawful deeds).

Jude 23. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Rev. 2:2. I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and
how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried
them.
..........

YES  THOSE  WHO  LOVE  THE  LORD  WITH  ALL  THEIR  HEART,  LIFE, 
AND  MIND,  WILL  HATE  ALL  THAT  IS  SIN  AND  EVIL  AND 
UNRIGHTEOUS.  THEY  WILL  WATCH  THEMSELVES;  THEY  WILL  WATCH 
THE  COMPANY  THEY  SPEND  THEIR  TIME  WITH;  THEY  WILL  STAY 
AWAY  FROM,  NOT  GET  CLOSE  IN  FRIENDSHIP  WITH  THOSE  WHO 
ARE  EVIL  AND  PERVERSE  OF  MOUTH,  BODY,  AND  MIND.

THOSE  WHO  LOVE  RIGHTEOUSNESS  WILL  WATCH  WHAT  THEY  READ 
AND  VIEW;  THEY  WILL  WANT  TO  MEDITATE  AND  THINK  ON  THAT 
WHICH  IS  HOLY,  JUST,  AND  GOOD.

THOSE  WHO  LOVE  TRUTH  AND  HOLINESS,  WILL  AT  TIMES  SIGH 
AND  CRY (EVEN  LITERAL  TEARS) FOR  ALL  THE  ABOMINATIONS  THAT 
ARE  AROUND  THEM.

YES  THIS  IS  THE  MIND-SET  OF  THE  RIGHTEOUS  MEN  AND  WOMEN 
OF  THE  LORD.

All about SIN #11

Sin separates us from God!

TO UNDERSTAND THE MERCY, GRACE, AND FORGIVENESS OF GOD, WE MUST
FIRST UNDERSTAND SIN.

UNDERSTANDING SIN #11

SEPARATES US FROM GOD

Deut. 31:17. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that
day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them,
and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall
befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these
evils come upon us, because our Cod is not among us? 18. And I
will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they
shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.

Josh. 7:12, Therefore the children of Israel could not stand
before their enemies, but turned their backs before their
enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you
any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

2 Chr. 24:20. And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son
of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and
said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the
commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have
forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.

Job 13:24. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for
thine enemy?

Job 23:3. Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might
come even to his seat. 8. Behold, I go forward, but he is not
there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him. 9. On the left
hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth
himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

Psa. 78:59. When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly
abhorred Israel; 60. So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
the tent which he placed among men. 61. And delivered his
strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.

Isa. 59:1. Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it
cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. 2. But
your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your
sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Isa. 64:7. 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.

Ezek. 23:18. So she discovered her whoredome, and discovered her
nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind
was alienated from her sister.

Hos. 9:12. Though they bring up their children, yet will I
bereave them, that there shall not he a man left: ye, woe also to
them when I depart from them!

Amos 3:2. You only have I known of all the families of the earth:
therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. 3. Can two
walk together, except they be agreed?

Mic. 3:4. Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear
them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they
have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

Luke 13:27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence
ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Matt. 7:23;
25:41.

Rom. 8:7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God.

Heb. 12:14. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord.
..........

AND  SO  WE  SEE  IN  OUR  LAST  STUDY  ON  SIN,  THAT  SIN 
SEPARATES  FROM  GOD.  THE  ETERNAL  ONE  IS  HOLY,  RIGHTEOUS 
AND PERFECT.  HE  CANNOT  DWELL  AMONG  SIN.  THE  ONLY  WAY 
MANKIND  CAN  BE  AT  ONE  WITH  GOD,  IS  FOR  MEN  AND  WOMEN 
TO  ADMIT  THEY  ARE  SINNERS,  TO  REPENT  OF  SIN,  TO  ACCEPT 
JESUS  AS  PERSONAL  SAVIOR,  WHO  TOOK  OUR  SINS  UPON 
HIMSELF,  THEN  FOR  MEN  AND  WOMEN  TO  HUMBLY  RENEW  THEIR 
MIND,  AND  TO  SET  THEIR  MIND  TO  LIVE  THE  HOLY 
RIGHTEOUSNESS  OF  THE  LORD;  TO  BE  WILLING  TO  SERVE  AND 
OBEY  THE  COMMANDMENTS  OF  GOD.

YES  THE  BIBLE  HAS  MUCH  TO  SAY  ABOUT  SIN.  YOU  CAN  KNOW 
WHAT  SIN  IS.  AND  THEN  YOU  CAN  DECIDE  TO  FORSAKE  SIN 
AND  COME  TO  KNOW  THE  MERCY,  THE  GRACE,  THE  FORGIVENESS 
OF  GOD.
