SID 2018- Wisdom Nugget: SIN – It’s Not Just A Mistake!
Some people think that SIN is just a mistake or an error in cause of life doings. It is far more than that; and its presence in ones life can hinder and obstruct the desired PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT that enables one to SOAR IN DOMINION.
What then is SIN in Sum:
** The human inherit nature, which is an enmity towards God and bore as a result of the fall in Adam & Eve of Genesis.
** An act of transgression (overstepping) of God’s law, which is – the violation of, want of obedience to, the revealed will of God to mankind.
** A state of Iniquity, Trespass, Lawlessness and or absence of God’s righteousness as fulfilled in Christ Jesus in one’s life.
The EFFECT of SIN are – POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH.
** And Spiritual Death is the absence of God or rather the rejection of Christ Jesus – God’s answer to human REDEMPTION.
** Spiritual death results to Physical death and finally – Eternal death.
However, by Redemption – Faith on the finished done work of Christ – has given us access to God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, which enables one to escape from death to life. Now in Christ Jesus, SIN and it’s EFFECT shall have no more DOMINION over you as you Soar In Dominion – that is, over SIN.
“For the WAGES of SIN is DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 6:23.
“For SIN shall not have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:14.
“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) . . . 21 that as SIN hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.
