S01 E07 - The Nature of Sin
from Living Effectively Ministry
A. SIN IS OUTRIGHT REBELLION AGAINST GOD’S LAW. 1 JOHN 3:4 “But those who keep on sinning are against God, for every sin is done against the will of God” (TLB). THE THREE DIMENSIONAL NATURE OF SIN: 1. It is Deceptive- Hebrews 3:13” Speak to each other about these things every day while there is still time so that none of you will become hardened against God, being blinded by the glamor of sin”(TLB). 2. It offers Temporal Pleasure- Hebrews 11:25 “Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season” (KJV). 3. It is Destructive – Proverbs 11:3 “The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them” (NKJV). Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (TLB). B. ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS SIN. WHATEVER IS NOT RIGHT (ACCORDING TO GOD’S STANDARD) IS WRONG. (1 JOHN 5:17) C. SIN IS AT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, BECAUSE WITHOUT SIN THERE IS WAS NO EVIL (ROMANS 5:12). D. SIN IS THE OMISSION OF KNOWN DUTY( JAMES 4:17).
