The Heavy Price of Sin

Ungodly practices in our society are being fueled by a redefinition of terms… Gay for homosexuality Pro-choice for abortion Substance abuse for drug addiction The Heavy Price of Sin

Homosexuality –“For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” {Romans 1:26,27} God’s Definitions

Abortion –“Being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers.” {Romans 1:29} God’s Definitions

Substance Abuse –“To knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness.” {2 Peter 1:6} –“Gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” {Galatians 5:23}

Ungodly practices in our society are being fueled by a redefinition of terms… Under the influence for drunk. Cocktail for a shot of whiskey Disease for alcoholism. Affair for committing adultery The Heavy Price of Sin

Under the Influence –“And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” {Ephesians 5:18} –“Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.” {1 Corinthians 6:10} God’s Definitions

Cocktail –“ For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles--when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.” {1 Peter 4:3} God’s Definitions

Disease –“Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.” {Proverbs 20:1} –“Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it swirls around smoothly; at the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart will utter perverse things.” {Proverbs 23:31-33} God’s Definitions

Affair –“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness.” {Galatians 5:19} –“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites.” {1 Corinthians 6:9} God’s Definitions

People are putting a more attractive face on sin’s ugly face. –“Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21,22) –“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” {Romans 6:23} The Heavy Price of Sin

People are putting a more attractive face on sin’s ugly face. –“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” {Isaiah 5:20,21} The Heavy Price of Sin

About Sin Sin defined: A transgression of God’s commandment. A serious matter in God’s sight. People tend to view some transgressions as insignificant. –“Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.” {1 John 3:4}

Sin Exacts a Heavy Price Spiritually: severe consequences… –“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.” {Isaiah 59:2} Sin—no fellowship with God –“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” {1 John 1:6}

Physically: Many sins also cause physical damage… –David’s sin with Bathsheba “... I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, ‘The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die. However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.” {2 Samuel 12:13,14} Sin Exacts a Heavy Price

Physically: Many sins also cause physical damage… Alcohol, drugs, and tobacco alter lives. Sexual immorality has destroyed many lives. –Proverbs 13:15 –Numbers 32:23 –Romans 6:16 Sin Exacts a Heavy Price

Mentally and emotionally – Sometimes we have trouble forgiving ourselves, even after we have sought God’s forgiveness. – Sin brings sorrow into our lives. “A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, ‘Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.’ And when he thought about it, he wept.” {Mark 14:72} Sin Exacts a Heavy Price

The Price of Redemption It took Christ’s death to free mankind from sin’s bondage. –Hebrews 2:14,15 Sin cannot be considered a trivial matter. –Romans 5:6-11 God gave the very best of heaven to provide the remedy for sin. –John 3:16

Concluding Thoughts Sin exacts a HEAVY PRICE Sin SEPARATES us from God God provided a remedy for these problems… –Obedience to the gospel –Prayer and repentance from His saints
