Sin

Statements

  • Sir/ma’am do you know that you’ve sinned against God?
  • We are sinners living in a sin-cursed world – but a new day is coming!
  • Come to God – this coming implies a leaving of something else – sin and self righteousness and idols; but come the right way – through Jesus Christ alone – and no other way
  • Mankind is separated from God because of sin
  • One sin cast the devil out of heaven. One sin cast Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. One sin will cast you from the presence of God, too.

Quotes

  • Jonty Rhodes – “Men (and women too) are pulled away to sin through three main areas: ‘Guns, Gold and Girls.'” – playing off of the 1 John 2:16 (see scripture below).

Scripture

  • 1 John 2:16 – “For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.”

Goodness

  • God is good. This very truth is what so many are hoping will free them when in fact it is the one thing that will condemn them. God is good and we are not. He is just and cannot simply let your sin go. 
  • Paul Washer said – “What do I have to do to go to heaven? ‘Oh that’s easy, you have to be absolutely perfect from the moment of your birth to the moment of your death. In order to go to heaven you must be morally perfect without spit or blemish in any shape form or fashion to any degree. You must be morally perfect from the moment of birth to the moment of death.’”
  • “Who here believes they are a good enough person and doesn’t need Jesus as a crutch to get into heaven?”
