Today let’s answer six critical questions about sin using God's Word as our guide.
1. Who has sin?
for all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God, - Romans
3:23
2. Is sin real?
Surely I was sinful at
birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. - Psalm 51:5
3. How does sin operate in our lives?
As for you, you were dead in
your transgressions and sins, in which you used to
live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the
kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are
disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one
time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires
and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. - Ephesians 2:1-3
Where does “But God” come in to play here? (Romans 5:8)
4. What is the cost of sin?
For the wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 6:23.
We have a choice“two deaths or two births”.
5. “Now what?”
But because of his great
love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, has made us alive in Christ. - Ephesians 2:4
It's a choice of life in Christ or death in sin.
6. How great is God’s love for you?
For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16
Jesus is Life
