THE TRUTH ABOUT SIN

"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? "(Romans 6:16)

We as Christians have erred in our understanding of sin. Although it was originally taught by the Apostles in the right context, somewhere down the line wolves in sheep’s clothing and hirelings crept in and subverted the truth of the matter. Today’s version of what leaders are telling as sin is not only WRONG, but it is pure poison that will damn the believer into a trap, and eventually physical and spiritual death!

Preachers and teachers today expound on sin as a disease, genetically passed, onto every person. This is true, but not in the way they are explaining. You see, their poison states that everything you have done, sinfully, and will do in the future is eradicated or wiped clean when you accept Christ as your saviour, Just like it is a disease, like the cold, that is vaccinated when you kneel at the cross for the first time. And every sin you have ever committed in the past, and will commit in the future, is already taken care of, you no longer have a sin problem.

I BEG YOU; DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIE OF THE DEVIL, SATAN!

Let’s put the truth back into the body of Christ again. When Adam sinned in the garden, what he passed to us all was not sin itself, but the nature to sin. The sin nature or the ability to war in our mind and soul to be tempted to not follow the will and commands of God is what was passed. Until they had both eaten of the forbidden fruit, all they knew and wanted to do was follow what God said, to the letter. Satan, in his cunning craftiness, introduced to the only true “paradise” that has existed the unstable element to the human equation, the ability or temptation to rebel against God. This is all that passed down from human to human.

Now, let’s talk about the word sin. Sin is a word that is itself an action verb. That means it requires action, or movement has to take place for it to come into being. Sin is committed, only after your “sin nature” has been attacked by Satan, or the very “sin nature” itself in you tempts you sin. You receive the temptation by one or both of these two ways, but feeling the temptation is not sin! It is when YOU make the conscious decision to ACT upon that temptation, to do and fulfill what God said not to do, that sin has been committed. Let me break this down a little simpler. By Adam’s transgression, the ABILITY to sin was passed to all men, this gives us the chance to choose which one we want, obey God’s laws or refuse and do what we want to do.

But sin is committed, and counted against you, when you act upon that temptation, when you commit it, when you do it. Feeling the temptation to look at that pretty girl, or handsome guy at work is not sin, you can resist, rebuke the devil, and you have won the victory on that temptation. It is when you feel the temptation coming on, and you look and desire and fantasize for him or her, that you, believer, have sinned. How can a future sin already be forgiven when it has never been committed? This is an excuse and poison these teachers propagate so they can commit sin and feel okay, and think it is alright with God, and receive no punishment. Remember, the soul that sinneth, it shall surely die! (Ezekiel 18:4)

The Bible teaches us that his people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge. False teachers and leaders with no understanding have crippled the body of Christ. But, thanks be to God, who has given us the victory. By the power of the Cross and his shed blood and the ensuing gift of the Holy Ghost, we don’t have to give in to temptation; we don’t have to commit sin. Don’t believe the lies, newly committed sin that is unrepented of, is unforgiven sin. Jesus died so we would no longer commit sin, nor be a slave to it, and loose heaven forever. Pray to God to give you victory today over sin, don’t let your past look just like your future; you don’t have to be bound to sin any longer. Jesus is your answer.
