Blessed Kingdom Brethren @ ZION: Earlier we noted that SIN is an inherent ingredient of every helpless human mind & make-up. Certainly, this means that "every one was born with a lawless, Sin-prone nature"; & of course that all men have sinned. Above all, the human mind is naturally antagonistic towards God's Holy Law (Romans 8: 7). In fact, the Spiritual Mirror God uses to show a sinner his/her spiritual condition is His Holy Commandments & those who break them commit SIN.
THE PURPOSE OF THE HOLY LAW:
The Holy Scriptures make it plain that the real function of God's Holy Law Of Commandments is to make men recognize & be conscious of SIN (Romans 7: 20). Apostle Paul in Romans 7: 7 states: "If it had not been for the Law, I should not have recognized Sin or have its meaning". For instance, I would not have known about covetousness - would have no consciousness of Sin or sense of Sin - if the Holy Commandments had not repeatedly said, "You shall not covet & have an evil desire".
The above texts, no doubt, show that God's Law exposes Sin; it brings it to one's notice, it shows it up for what it really is; & were a society to set it aside - then within a single generation it would be quite incapable of defining or even recognizing sin. Such a society would inevitably descend into a vortex of Lawlessness - a chaos of worst order - vice & vandalism that surpass its imagination - let alone control!
FORMS OF SIN:
In a nutchel, we have SIX words that are synonymous to SIN. Because of the constraint of space & time, I may not stand to exhaust them all herein. But I will have time & space to reveal & examine them in the subsequent tutorial work of this Theological Romance @ ZION. So Help Me God! Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!
First & foremost, SIN Is LAWLESSNESS, the transgression of the Law of God (1 John 3: 4). God established the boundary line between Good & Evil & whenever we overstep that boundary, whenever we are guilty of intrusion into the forbidden area of evil, we are breaking the Law & committing Sin. Whenever we fail to live up to the standard & requirements of the Ten Holy Commandments, whenever we go contrary to the precepts of the Lord's Sermon on the Mount, we have transgressed the Law of God & then we are guilty of Sin.
Apostle James made it quite plain that we are guilty when he stated: "But everyone is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enriched. Then when lust is conceived, it bringeth forth Sin, and when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1: 14-15). It is because we have all broken God's Laws, all transgressed His Holy Commandments that we are all classified as sinners.
Secondly, SIN Is FAILURE To Do Good: Not only do we sin by doing things - outward acts - forbidden by God. We also sin by "Failing" To Do Good when we have opportunity. In other words, God not only wants us to refrain from evil, He also wants us to act by doing good. According to Apostle James: "To him, therefore, that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is Sin" (James 4: 17).
All of these Sins are really expressions of Satan's character as revealed in & through mankind: for SIN, we must emphasize, is rebellion against God's Holy Law & it originated with Satan the Arch-rebel & lawless one.
Third, SIN IS INIQUITY: INIQUITY is the deviation from Right whether or not the particular act has been expressively forbidden. Iniquity has to do with our
inner motivations, the very things that we so often try to keep hidden from the eyes of men & God. They are the wrongs which spring from our own corrupt nature rather than the evil acts which force of circumstances sometimes causes us to commit.
- The Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH described this inner corruptness when He said: "From within, out of the heart of men proceeds evil thoughts - adulteries, fornication, murders, thefts, covetousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within and defile the man (Mark 7: 21-23).
Fourth: SIN As "MISSING THE MARK", Falling short of the goal that has been set. God's GOAL is Blessed CHRIST De MESSIAH. In fact, the GOAL of a genuine Christian is CHRISTLIKENESS. The object & end-purpose of all life is to live up to the life of Lord Christ De Messiah. He came to show us what it is possible for man to achieve here on earth; & when we fail to follow His example, we "miss the mark" & fall short of the Divine standard; & thereby commit Sin.
Blessed Sparkling Kingdom Brethren @ Zion: We have two more terms that are synonymous to SIN, namely:
SIN Is A form Of TRESPASS & SIN Is UNBELIEF.
However, because of limitation of space & time, I want to decline for the time being in affording you description of these last two words that describe SIN.
But if the Lord Christ De Messiah tarries to effect His forthcoming Rapture of the Kingdom Saints @ ZION Of Holy Jerusalem before our subsequent Theological Romance @ ZION, then, I will in the subsequent tutorial work, endeavour to lend sufficient explanations to the final terms of SIN. Permit me now to have my own breakfast, like you did, all right!
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!
Before our next necessary Theological Discourse, I want to offer YOU a cordial, warm & special "INVITATION TO THE BLESSED LORD CHRIST De MESSIAH" Who is The Saviour of the World.
Thus, YOU will lay YOUR burden down. YOU will learn of the simplicity of Truth. YOU will develop the power within. YOU will receive the Power from without. YOU will enter a new segment of eternity. YOU will begin to realize YOUR CREATOR, our Creator & Eternal Father, personally.
Stay put in aspiration. Hold on to this tutorial piece with challenge, in expectation, to conquer SIN in YOUR LiIFE. Open up the expectation; don't limit YOUR SOUL to reach out to Divine Goodness. YOU are going to lay YOUR burden down @ the Holy Feet of Blessed Lord Jesus Christ De Messiah Yahshua, The Most Merciful Son Of God. SO BE IT, O LORD!
Alleluia!! Amen.
O How Blessed & Wonderful Are God's Gifts To Men Of Integrity & Goodwill: Life In Blessed Immortality! Brightness In Righteousness! Truth In Full Assurance! Faith In Confidence! Temperance In Holiness! And These, The Eternal Heavenly Father Has Subjected To Our Understanding & Edification, As It Pleases Him, In His Grace & Love.
Alleluia!! Amen.
Behold, Blessed are they who embrace & live by the pure, Total Gospel Truths & Wisdom of Blessed CHRIST De MESSIAH, for they shall be called the Sons of God.
Blessed are they who observe the Testimonies, Divine Injunctions & Faith of Lord Christ De Messiah, for they shall secure their dwelling in The Blessed Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH'S Eternal Light.
Blessed are they who have wives as though they had none; for they shall be made Angels of God {1 Corinthians 7: 29}.
Blessed are they who, for the Love of The Lord Christ De Messiah, abandon the glories of the world; for they shall judge Angels & be placed @ The Right Hand Of The Lord Christ De Messiah. These shall not face the bitterness & misery of the last Divine Judgement.
Remain Blessed, Chaste, Steadfast, Faithful, Heavenly Conscious, Loyal, Loving & Forgiving, Vigilant & Rapturable In The LORD CHRIST De MESSIAH.
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!
