18 Sin/Good

18 Sin/Good


A) How is sin generated?

Jas 1:14 But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.
Jas 1:15 Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us.
1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.

B) The bad fruit generated by sin is death

Jas 1:15 Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
Rom 7:13 Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.
Rom 3:23 For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;
1Co 15:56 The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
Rom 6:23 For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

C) But goodness is what GOD request us to do

Mat 19:16 And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.
Eph 2:10 For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

D) So, GOD give us bible to tell us how to do good

2Ti 3:16 Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.

E) Men still have stiff neck, not willing to do good

Jer 2:19 The evil you yourselves have done will be your punishment, your errors will be your judge: be certain then, and see that it is an evil and a bitter thing to give up the Lord your God, and no longer to be moved by fear of me, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
Col 2:8 Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:
Jhn 3:19 And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.
Jas 5:15 And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.
Jas 5:16 So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

F) We have to invite Holy Spirit to make things happen

Act 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Rom 8:10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
1Jn 1:7 But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin.

G) However, Jesus have to suffer first

Isa 53:5 But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.
Isa 53:6 We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.

H) Then, GOD provide salvation

Jhn 3:17 God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.
Rom 3:23 For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:
1Jn 2:2 He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.
Act 3:19 So then, let your hearts be changed and be turned to God, so that your sins may be completely taken away, and times of blessing may come from the Lord;
Act 10:43 To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.
Col 1:14 In Jesus we have our salvation, the forgiveness of sins:
1Jn 4:10 And this is love, not that we had love for God, but that he had love for us, and sent his Son to be an offering for our sins.
1Jn 1:9 If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.
Heb 4:15 For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.
1Pe 4:8 And most of all be warm in your love for one another; because in love there is forgiveness for sins without number:
Rom 8:3 For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:
Rom 3:25 Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;
Rom 8:1 For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

I) Below are GOD’s warning not to detour

Eze 18:24 But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death will overtake him.
Ecc 2:26 To the man with whom he is pleased, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him in whom God has pleasure. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.
Heb 10:26 For if we do evil on purpose after we have had the knowledge of what is true, there is no more offering for sins,
2Ts 2:10 And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation.
2Ts 2:11 And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:
2Ts 2:12 So that they all may be judged, who had no faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil.

J) Can not escape punishment even after you die

Heb 9:27 And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;
Mat 12:36 And I say to you that in the day when they are judged, men will have to give an account of every foolish word they have said.
Mat 12:37 For by your words will your righteousness be seen, and by your words you will be judged.
Mat 25:46 And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the upright into eternal life.

K) GOD still have abundance of love

Eze 18:21 But if the evil-doer, turning away from all the sins which he has done, keeps my rules and does what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his; death will not be his fate.
Psm 103:10 He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
Exo 20:20 And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
Exo 34:7 Having mercy on thousands, overlooking evil and wrongdoing and sin; he will not let wrongdoers go free, but will send punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation.
Luk 6:37 Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:

L) So, what is our response

Heb 3:13 But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:
Jas 4:8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.
Psm 119:11 I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.
1Jn 5:18 We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.
Rom 6:12 For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;
Rom 6:16 Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.
