what is sin
Now if you come here for a nice feel good study friend I would ask you to hit that buttom and move on. I am going to talk about sin tonight and I am hoping to do it in a way that will make you not want to sin. I want to actually do a hard message because I think the friends of mine need it. I am also on a place in James where I can preach it. My gaol tonight is to make us feel somewhat small. Note the word us. I am in all of what I am going to say
James 4 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.[1]
Nice passage that needs some harsh comments to us. Sin is sometime a bit overlooked but I want to talk on what it is. Sin is anything you do that is forbidden in the bible. Sin is a struggle for every single Christian and when we do it we offend the one we love the most. I feel the worst sin does not love Jesus with all we have. It is the most anis thing not to devote our lives to Jesus. If we sin not only are we not keeping the commands of God and yes they are commands it is not worshiping the Lord. Sin is a transgression or a time we break Gods Law. It is not being perfect. If you break the law of our Fathers you ought to feel bad about it. No excuse to hate, no excuse to call anyone name or to want what your friends have. If your not saved you are in sin and God wants you to know that he loves you but you are not welcome until you repent and get saved. How dare if you’re not saved and ought to be sit and wait to be saved. If you die and you’re not saved one sin is going to enslave you to hell forever. It’s not a Joke to sin. It’s not funny when we sit in movies and laugh at the breaking of the Laws of God. It ought to make us sad and make us weep.
It is a wonder to some why we as the children of God go and pay money to see movies. I kind of see the point. Why do we go to the movie house and watch murder and sex and things God said he hates. We ought to take Jesus everyplace we go and make him aware of our thoughts. I need to. I need so much to stop thinking about gals in the way I do sometimes and stop listening to junk on the radio like how this law is bad or this man is stupid. I want to look at the things God told all of us to do. I know this is Law and we cannot keep it but I think sometimes we need to look at this passage and think it over
Ex 20 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
Do we make Gods out of things and people. I have. Do we make Jesus first. If not we need to
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
We need to not make anything God like our wallets or tv or baseball cards or Kirby.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
GD is not a word we need to use. I need to work on this and if we do say it we need to confess it as sin.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
God said keep one day a week and rest on it. It means we enjoy it with our familys Yes I said enjoy it and worship God. We praise him and fellowship with Jesus and our loved ones.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
If mom said to not listen to music and you do your sinning even if you think it is right. I am going to say something many of you are going to not like. If you mom tells you not to dance or go to church you do not like you are to do it. If dad tells you not to date you do as he said. If you mom tells you to wear a dress or tie to church or to do what ever you do that. Here is the deal your under the rule of momma and daddy and you do as they say. I had a gal come on a blog and say that a pastor has the right to tell a gal not to wear a shirt that makes a male lust. If he does not tell you I am you dress to not show anything. If your under age your daddy has the right to tell you how to dress and that your grounded if you do not take out the trash. Its not fun but it is the command and your mom and dad rule over you. No comments on that either unless you agree on this. Parents are the kids rulers and if you want to not comment on this point to dis me here I thank you because kids in the church need to know the mom and dad are Gods role in life to them
13 “You shall not murder.
Jesus said hate is murder. Love everyone even the ones that hate you back. Just do that do not argue with Jesus
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
Men God blessed you with wives make her your Joy and bless her. If your single keep Jesus first and wait to be blessed and keep your pants on if your dating. Its not a good thing to lose your virgin thing. Give that to the gal your blessed with. Being a virgin is a cool thing to give to your wife. Please wait.
15 “You shall not steal.
God is a blessed God and will give you his best in life. Let him bless and do not try to get rich fast. Living knowing your glory bound is all one needs.
15 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Lieing is stupid. Learn to hate the false truth and love the truth. Jesus is the truth you live for him and if you mess up here like I have fix it.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
God blessed you learn to live in him and you will not need the car Jon drives and besides I know you have a good car to.
I hope I reminded you of Gods love here because this chapter is a loving parent making rules for a kid. Learn to love this chapter in the bible and strive to live out this code. Make your sin a hate thing.
