WHAT
IS SIN PART II
Who has sinned, are we all sinners?
Romans 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:
Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and
your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Romans 3:10, 23
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: For all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Ecclesiastes 7:20
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth
not.
Isaiah 64:6
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.
According to
scriptures, everyone is a sinner, no one is perfect, we have all
sinned, we are unclean, and why? Sin has separated us from God,
sin, breaking the laws of God, turning away from His words, calling
evil good. This is why Jesus Christ came to lay down His life for
us, because of our sins, because we are sinners.
4. Who will not enter into the Kingdom of God due
to sin?
Romans 1:26-32
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their
women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that
which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of
their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain
God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind,
to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the
judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of
death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall
God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft,
hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
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.
Hebrews 10:26
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge
of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Matthew 10:32-33
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess
also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny
me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in
heaven.
And society
says there is no such thing as good or evil, pure and sin? The Lord
says quite a bit on the subject of sin and what will separate us
from the Lord. How many realize that your body is the temple of
the Lord? How many abuse it by what they put into it, or what they
do to it on the outside of it? No sin? I don't think so, the Lord
made it perfectly clear what He does not like, what we are to stay
away from, our boundaries. He clearly said if we sin wilfully after
we receive the truth there remains no more sacrifice for us! We
must know what sin is in order to serve our Lord!
5. What is
the outcome of sinners?
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 1:29-32
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud,
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without
understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable,
unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit
such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have
pleasure in them that do them.
Romans 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:
James 1:15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when
it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death.
The scriptures are very clear on what sin is. Look
around you sin is everywhere, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in
a large city, or a small town. Sin will take hold of you and send
you to hell, the lake of fire. The Lord didn't hide anything from
us, He wants no one to perish, but we must live by His words, laws
included. How do we know sin? But by the law, what is the outcome
for the sinner? Damnation, lake of fire. Our hope, Jesus Christ.
. .
Romans 5:8-10
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified
by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if,
when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of
his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
