The Bible Condemns Sin.

The true worshippers worship God in Spirit and in truth. ( John 4 verse 24 ). They respect the Word

of God. They ..... worship God in the beauty of holiness.... . ( Psalms 29 verse 2 ).

Adam and Eve were created in the image of God .

Genesis 1 verse 25 and 27 says :

....26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have

dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over

all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and

female created he them.

28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish

the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fi sh of the sea, and over the fowl of

the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth......

God has always desired to have fellowship with mankind. The sins of mankind separate them from

have fellowship with God. Sin separates man from God.

The Bible condemns disobedience to the Word of God. Disobedience to the Word of God is rebellion

against God.

Satan also known as Lucifer was cast out of heaven and ...fell like lightening.... ( Luke 10 verse 18).

In Luke 10 verse 18 the LORD Jesus Christ says : ...... I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.....

Lucifer was perfect in all his ways until iniquity was found in him.( Ezekiel 28 verse 15 ; Isaiah 14

verse 12 verse 17 ).

Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. ( 1 Samuel 15 verses 22 and 23 ).

Sauls disobedience to the Word of God took him away from Gods protection and made him subject

to Enticing spirits and eventually caused him to commit suicide.

Disobedience to the Word of God is sin. It is a sin to doubt the Word of God. Sin is unbelief . Sin

..... For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God..... ( Romans 3 verse 23 ). Sin divides.

Sin separates. Sin destroys fellowship and destroys relation. ....For the wages of sin is death; but

the gift of God is eternal life ..... ( Romans 6 verse 23 ).

The LORD Jesus Christ came to save His people from their sins. ( Matthew 1 verse 21 ).The children

of Israel were redeemed from Egypt . The children of Israel were called out of Egypt. .....Out of

Egypt have I called My Son ..... ( Matthew 2 verse 15 ; Hosea 11 verse 1 ) .

Salvation from sin , deliverance from sin is on Gods terms not man. Sinful mankind must repent of

their sins...turn away from a life of sin and wickedness and identify themselves with the death burial

and resurrection ofThe LORD Jesus Christ by being baptised in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIS T

for the remission of their sins and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 3 verse 23;

Romans 6 verse 23 ; John 3 verses 1 to 13 ; Matthew 28 verse 18 and 20 ; Luke 24 verse 46 to 48 ;

Acts 2 verse 38 ).

In 1 PETER 1 verses 9 to 10 :

...... 9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;

that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into hismarvellous light;

10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not

obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy......

Isaiah 59 verse 2 says :

.....But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His

Face from you, that He will not hear......

In the garden of Eden , before the fall Adam and Eve had fellowship with God. After the fall to have

fellowship with God restored God had to slay two innocent animals and clothe them with skins of

the animals . ( Genesis 2 verse 21 ). Innocent animals were killed and Blood was shed.

However the Blood of animals could not redeem their sin. The blood of animals was a temporary

substitute for a period of time. ....Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins...... (

Hebrews 9 verse 22 ).

Galatians 4 verses 4 and 5 says :

....But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made

under the Law ,

To redeem them that were under the Law , that we might receive the adoption of sons.......

The Apostle Paul said in Acts 17 verse 22 to 31 :

.......22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, Iperceive that

in all things ye are too superstitious.

23 For as Ipassed by, and beheld your devotions, Ifound an altar with this inscription, TO

THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare Iunto you.

24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and

earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth

to all life, and breath, and all things;

26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth,

and hath determined the times before appo inted, and the bounds of their habitation;

27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though

he be not far from every one of us:

28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have

said, For we are also his offspring.

29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godheadis like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every

where to repent:

31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness

by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in

that he hath raised him from the dead.

32And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We

will hear thee again of this matter.

33 So Paul departed from among them.

34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the

Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them......

When the gospel is preached as many as believe the Word of God that is preached and receive the

LORD JESUS CHRIST.....to them gave He power to become the Sons of God, even to them gave He

power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name...... ( John 1 verse 12 ).

The Blood of animals only rolled their sins to Calvary where the sinless Blood of Jesus Christ took

away the sins of the whole world. ( John 1 verse 29 ).

The Innocent were slain for the guilty pointing to Calvary. Righteous Abel was slain on the altar

...slain by Wicked Cain ( I John 3 verse 12 ).

When Abraham took his son Isaac up to the mount of the LORD to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, Isaac

was pointing to a time when God Himself robed in flesh would provide Himself as a sacrifice for the

sins of the World ( Genesis 22 verse 8 ; and Genesis 22 verse 1 to 19 ).

John the Baptist when he saw the LORD JESUS CHRIST said ......Behold the Lamb of God , which

taketh away the sin of the world...... ( John 1 verse 29 ).

created Adam and Eve in the image of God. ( Genesis 2 verse 15 to 25 ). ....Can two walk together

except they be agreed.. ?. ( Amos 3 verse 7 ).

As long as Adam and Eve had respect unto the Word of God , they had fellowship with God. They

could walk and talk with God and be in His Presence. In His presence there is fullness of joy. There is

the fullness of all Spiritual blessings in His Presence such as Zoe Life, Agape Love, Abundant Joy,

Peace that passeth all understanding , Righteousness, Holiness, Authority, Dominion, Good Health

and more.

Enoch obeyed God. Enoch walked with God. Enoch agreed with every with God. There was no

disobedience in Enoch. Enoch didnot rebel against the Word of God. Enoch submittted to the

Word of God. The Bible says ....Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee

from you..... ( James 2 verse 7 ).

The Word of God has quickening power. The Word of God transforms them by renewing their minds.

( Romans 12 verse 1 to 2 ).

The true believer does not allow the world to squeeze them into a cosmos mold to conform to a

cosmos system of standards. The true believer has a higher standard than the cosmos standard. The

cosmos standard AntiGod , AntiChrist , Anti the Word of God.

The cosmos system is patterned after hell. Its author is none other than satan himself. Satan that

fallen angel that rebelled against God. Satan also known as Lucifer who was perfect in his ways

from the day he was created ....until iniquity was found in him.... . ( Ezekiel 28 verse 15 ; Isaih 14

verse 12 to 17 ).

Today, disobedient , rebellious people want to question the Word of God. Rebellion is as the sin of

witchraft . ( 1 Samuel 15 verse 23 ). Saul was disobedient and rebellious to the Word of God and

that rebellion and disobedience made him commit suicide.

In 1 Samuel 15 verses 22 to 23 we read where the Prophet Samuel rebuked King Saul for his

disobedience and rebellion to the Word of God.

.......22And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to

hearken than the fat of rams.

23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubb ornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being

king......

Saul got into alot of trouble trying to please people. Saul wanted to be popular with the

crowd . he desired the wrong thing. He set his heart and mind on the wrong thing. His

priorities were wrong. His focus in life was wrong.

The LORD JESUS CHRIST said in Matthew 6 verse 33 :

......But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall

be added unto you.......

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST also said in Mark 8 verse 36 :

....For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own

soul?.....

Whats the point of gaining popularity with the people and becoming an enemy of God ?

Whats the point of being a popular person , trying to please the crowd and bowing

down their wishes and schemes and lose out with God. An individual, be he a


6/10

Politician, a law maker, a judge or some pop idol or some movie star system or a so

called community leader or a leader in the community or some other person seeking

popularity from the cosmos living a life contrary to the Word of God , may gain the

whole world but lose their soul. (Mark 8 verse 36 ).

Saul was chosen to king. Instead of submitting to the Word of God , he forgot the LORD

who had made him king. Saul became proud and arrogant and disobeyed the Word ofGod.

Saul was a leader of Israel . Samuel found him looking for donkeys. Saul looked after

donkeys. From that humble position that he had in life Saul became King of Israel. God

can make something out of nothing.

In 1 Samuel 15 verses 15 to 38 says :

.....22And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, asin obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken

than the fat of rams.

23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and i dolatry.

Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being

king.

24And Saul said unto Samuel, Ihave sinned: forIhave transgressed the commandment of

the LORD, and thy words: because Ifeared the people, and obeyed their voice.

25Now therefore, Ipray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, thatImay worship

the LORD.

26And Samuel said unto Saul, Iwill not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word ofthe LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee fro m being king overIsrael.

27And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it

rent.

28And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom ofIsrael from thee this day,

and hath given it to a neighbour of t hine, that is better than thou.

29And also the Strength ofIsrael will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should

repent.

30 Then he said, Ihave sinned: yet honour me now, Ipray thee, before the elders of my

people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, thatImay worship the LORD thy God.

31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.

32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag

came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.


7/10

33And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be

childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

34Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.

35And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel

mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel........

What makes them want to question the Word of God ? Enticing spirits released upon them when

they sit under false teaching and under false preaching by false prophets and false christs. These

false anointed ones are used by the devil to deceive those that refuse to submit to the Authority of

the Word of God.

They may wear fine religious clothes and look holy and pious and act like they know God but if they

disobey His Word they are deceived and when they continue to resist His Word and refuse to repent

of their wicked ways they end up crossing the separating line that separates the Grace of God from

the Judgement of God.

People are under enticing spirits that makes them rebel against the Word of God. They are under a

strong spirit of delusion that makes them have a form of godliness but deny the power therof. They

are under a religious spirit straight from the pits of hell.

Total obedience to the Word of God gave them unlimited access to the Throne of God. When they

sinned they placed themselves outside the presence of the Living God.

Now people all over the world think that they are worshipping God. But which god are they

worshipping? Are they worshipping the One and True Creator of Heaven and Earth or are they being

enticed by enticing words to worship the moon , the sun or the stars or to worship some man made

idol, or some created object like an animal or a beast like a cow, or a monkey or a snake or some

other creature or some person professing to be some deity ?

The true worshippers worship God in Spirit and in truth ( John 4 verse 24 ).

Obedience to the Word of God brings a blessing upon the believer of the Word of God. People

profess to love God but if they really love God they would Obey the Word of God.

The LORD Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24 verses 4 and 5 :

......Take heed that no man deceive you.

5

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many......

In this Laodicean Church Age (Revelation 3 verses 14 to 22 ) people want to do what

they want to do and worship God any old how and still want to be called ...Christian....

They are not Christians. If they have not repented of their sins , and been begotten by

the Word of truth ( 1 Peter 1 verse 23 ; John 3 verse 3 ; John 3 verse 5 ; John 5 verse 24 )

then they are just church members wallowing in the filth of their sin. To have their sins

washed away they must come to God in Gods provided way.


8/10

Gods Provided Way is the LORD JESUS CHRIST. The LORD Jesus said : ....Iam The Way,

The Truth, and the Life : no man cometh unto the Father , but by me...... (John 14 verse 6 ) .

The LORD JESUS CHRIST saves his people from their sins . (Matthew 1 verse 21 ).

There has to be a change of nature. ...............Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new

creature : old things are passed away ; behold , all things are become new................. (2

Corinthians 5 verse 17 ).

The Christian has been taken out of darkness and placed i n the Light. They have been

translated out of the kingdom of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of Light. The

sinful nature of the Adamic body has been cut away....circumcised .....circumcision of the

heart not of flesh ...( Romans 2 verse 29 ).

......For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive ...... (1 Corinthians 15

verse 22 ).

God placed in every person the measure of faith. Romans 12 verse 3 says :

....For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of

himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to

every man the measure of faith.......

The true worshippers worship God in Spirit and in Truth. ( John 4 verse24 ). The true worshippers

have been Redeemed by God their sins washed away through the Blood of the LORD JESUS CHRIST .

The Psalmist David said .... Thy Word have I hid in mine heart , that I might not sin against

thee......, ( Psalms 119 verse 11 ).

Romans 5 says :

......1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus

Christ:

2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in

hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh

patience;

4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts bythe Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some

would even dare to die.


9/10

8But God commendeth his love t oward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died

for us.

9Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through

him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, muchmore, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have

now received the atonement.

12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death

passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

14

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinnedafter the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be

dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ,

hath abounded unto many.

16And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to

condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justi fication.

17For 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.)

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even

so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one

shall many be made righteous.

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded,

grace did much more abound:

21That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness

unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord......

True believers have been washed in the blood of the Lamb. (Revelation 1 verse 5 ). The Word of

God has washed them and loosed them from the power of sin. They worship God knowing that the

LORD JESUS CHRIST has saved them from their sins. ( Matthew 1 verse 21 ).They are a new creation

in CHRIST JESUS THE LORD ....old things have passed away ; behold things are become new..... .

( 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17 ).


10/10

The true worshippers have been baptized into the death of the LORD JESUS CHRIS T. ( Romans 6

verse 3 ). They true worshippers have been delievered from the power of darkness and hath been

translated into the Kingdom of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. ( Colossians 1 vesre 13 ).

The true worshippers have fellowship with God and ..... walk in the Light as He is in the Light.... ( 1

John 1 verse 7)..... and the ....Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. ( 1 John 1

verse 7 ). In Him we ....live and move and have our being ..... ( Acts 17 verse 28 ).
