Who we are?
Who we are?
What is SIN?
Yesterday we had seen how important it is to be
Obedient to the Word of God. I raised a question Why Obedience has become the
key Principle factor of Christian living? From the beginning we have seen
Obedience has been an objective for Bible heroes, and based on their obedience
we have seen how God has manifested His works.
Obedience is listening to God’s word in simple
terms. At the Garden of Eden, when Eve was beguiled by the serpent- she lost
hold of the WORD, that means she REJECTED
CHRIST.
Obedience is not merely an action based on emotion
but it denotes the condition of your heart whether you stand with CHRIST or
NOT. It is a big responsibility.
OBEDIENCE
is CHRIST
Opting from the knowledge of Good and Evil was her
choice over opting LIFE. We need to understand that everything that God made
was through His words. His Words are the source of Life. When we live in His
words we live in Life.
So now the question is what is Sin?
Sin
is - not receiving Christ or rejecting Christ
1 Corinthians 15:34 - Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop
sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
Being ignorant of GOD, not having the knowledge of
God is SIN.
The
things like theft, murder, malice, slander, jealousy, lies are all its
by-products. When you don’t know God you live under a Sinful portal, meaning
you are slave to SIN. There are times people sin ignorantly but look to what
the word says:
Leviticus 5:17 - If anyone sins and does what is
forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even
though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible.
Daniel 9:5 -We have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked
and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.
Hosea 4:6a -My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge Because you have rejected knowledge,
1 John 3:6 -No one
who abides in Him sins; no one who sins
has seen Him or knows Him.
The Truth is Sin is the nature of the Devil, and it is inherited in us
because 1st Adam Sinned by giving himself in subjection to the words
of the Devil, and that’s why we are slave to SIN.
To whosoever you imitate or meditate; becomes your Being
It is important not to be ignorant. My efforts are only to help you know
that our God has great plans for you. You are designed for Excellency. You are
designed to overrule the schemes of Devil. It is in the will of Satan that
people perish. Death reigned because of Sin. Just look how David felt when he
was in ignorance to God’s grace in Psalms:
Psalm 73:22 -Then I
was senseless and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.
This is what Devil desires Man to be, a BEAST.
Isn’t this word so familiar to what is happening in world today? How brutal Human
had become.
1 John 3:8 -The one who does what is sinful is
of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The
reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
This is not to panic you but to encourage you that
irrespective of all this, Jesus Christ is our Victory. HE did not leave us when
we were sinners. But brought His life amidst irrespective of our Disobedience.
Romans 6:22 -But now that you have been set free from sin
and have become slaves of God, the benefit
you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
We are BLESSED indeed through Jesus Christ!!!
