Only God’s Word is true……………
What is sin..................?
1 John 3:4
Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for
sin is the transgression of the law.
James 2:11
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill,
thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for
by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 7:7
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay,
I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Sin is breaking of God's Law (10 commandments).........
Is someone saved who is practicing unrepentant sin........................?
Hebrew 10:27-28
26, For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 6:4-8
4, For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7, For the earth which drinks in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God: 8, But that which bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
1 John 3:3-10
3, And every man that hath this hope in him
purifies himself, even as he is pure.4, Whosoever commits sin transgress also the law: for
sin is the transgression of the law. 5, And ye know that
he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6,
Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins hath not seen him, neither known him. 7, Little children,
let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8,
He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9,
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;
for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10,
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil:
whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that
loves not his brother.
Ezekiel 18:20-26,
20,
The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21,
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22,
All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23, Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24,
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25, Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? 26,
When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9,
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revellers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
19, Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21, Envying’s, murders, drunkenness, revelling’s, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that
they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
2 Peter 4:6
4, For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5,
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6, And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly;
19, While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20,
For if after they have escaped the pollution's of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21, For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22, But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Romans 6:18-23
18, Being then
made free from sin, ye became the
servants of righteousness. 19, I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so
now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20, For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21,
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22,
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God,
ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23,
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 8:13,
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Romans 2:12
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law.
James 2:8-12,
8, If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: 9,
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.10, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11, For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12, So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Jeremiah 31:30
But
every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge
2 Corinthians 7:1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Ephesians 4:21-24
21, If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22,
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23, And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24, And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
1 Thessalonians 4:7
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness,
but unto holiness.
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and
holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord
1 Peter 1:15-16
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Those who do not turn from unrepentant sin do not know God's love and will not be saved………….
How do we know who God's people are.........................?
1 John 2:3-4
3, And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4,
He that saith, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 3:3-10
3, And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure. 4,
whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5, And ye know that he was manifested to
take away our sins; and
in him is no sin. 6,
Whosoever abides in him sins not:
whosoever sins hath not seen him, neither known him. 7, Little children,
let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8,
He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9,
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed <
1 Peter 1:23>
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10,
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.
God’s people through faith that works by love do not practice sin. This is the difference between the children of God and the children of the devil and because of their love for Jesus then keep his commandments (See also;
John 14:15; 15:10; Rev 12:17; 14:12; 22:14)
Let's pull it all together....
Sin is breaking any of God's 10 commandments. If we knowingly break any of God's commandments and do not repent then we are in unrepentant sin. Those that are knowingly breaking any of God's 10 commandments and are in unrepentant sin will not inherit the Kingdom of God. (
Hebrews 10:26-27; Hebrews 6:4-8; James 2:8-12; 1John 3:3-10; Acts 17:30-31)
God has 10 commandments; if we knowingly break any one of them we stand guilty before God of committing sin and breaking His Law. This includes the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] commandment the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] Day Sabbath which is one of the ten (
Exodus 20:1-17; James 2:11; Romans 3:20; 7:7; 1John 3:4).
God’s true believers keep all of God’s commandments (including the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] Day Sabbath) through their faith that works by love in God’s Word. Love is the fulfilling of God’s law in them because they walk be faith that works by love in His Spirit.
In times of ignorance God winks at but now calls on all men everywhere to repent and seek him today while he may be found. Tomorrow may be too late...
Hope this is helpful.
Otherwise you just end up wasting your time beating a dead horse.
