THEME:THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS 4

SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 3:1-14.

🔑 KEY VERSE: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. James 1:14

Friend, Sin could be described as: whatever is not right, sin is both action and attitude.

The Bible described sin in three basic ways, which makes it easy for it to enslave man, the three natures of sin is:

1. Sin is deceitful. 

2. Sin offers temporal pleasure

3. Sin is destructive.

It is important for you to understand each of these three natures of sin for you to be spiritually smart enough to overcome them.

Let's take them one by one

First. The deceptive nature of sin

But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrew. 3:13

Hear what the Bible says: through the deceitfulness of sin; friend sin is very deceitful, it promise what it can never offer, sin says “go ahead, it will be fun enjoy it, jump into bed with that person you’ll feel better, It will bring you happiness, but at the end of the sinful act you start living in regret. Sin told Adam and Eve that they will be like God if they eat the forbidden fruit but failed to tell them the consequences, that they will become naked and be driven out of the garden.

2. Temporal pleasure.

Choose to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Heb 11:25 

 The pleasure of sin is just for a season, its very temporal: Jesus asked a question: For what is the man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mathew 16:26

Think about eternity, how long are you going to live on earth compared to eternity. Hell is real and heaven is real, I tell you the truth, heaven is sweeter than the best you can get on earth.  

3. Destructive nature of sin:

For the wages of sin is death; Rom 6:23

Sin is destructive, once you sell yourself to sin, it will either destroys your youthful life or your adulthood, It destroys your financial life and brings you to poverty, destroys your marriage and brings you divorce, making you a single parent, it destroys your health and shorten your life span, it destroys your relationship with God and sends you to hell fire.

 Sin is not your friend embrace righteousness and enjoy God's Providence

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Act 2:21

Why can't you call on the name of the Lord right now for the salvation of your soul? He died for you to be saved.
