WHY IS SIN SO DEADLY? SIN DECEIVES. (God speaks) “These things (sins) you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you.” Psalm 50:21 Every sin begins with a lie. The lie leads to the sin. The sin leads to a stronghold. The stronghold leads to death.
Your sin will find you out. Numbers 32:23
SIN STEALS. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy… John 10:10 “Sin will take you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.”
SIN KILLS. The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 The solution: Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
“There is an actual change in the ‘nature’ of a believer, so that the propensities of one’s life or the deepest desires of one’s heart is now oriented toward God, rather than toward self and sin.” –Neil Anderson
