WAGES OF SIN

Greetings. The emotions are just coming through as i talk about the wages of sin, some of you who are going to read this today will ask why the emotions? The reason for the emotions is when i remember that i was neck deep in sin not minding of its wages which eventually would have resulted in death it makes me shiver and wonder about the level of ignorance shown by not only me but all of us.Thanking jesus for setting us free from the strong powerful grip of a sinful life. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. When people are neck deep in sin they forget God, and to forget God is to live a life of ignorance and lack of knowledge, we all know that sin comes with a pull that looks like one is being pleasured but the end leads to destruction Proverb 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. When we indulge ourselves in sinful ways most times our ears and eyes are blind to God's truth, ones this happens it means we are on our own cruise which mostly result to death both physical and spiritual. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The pull of sin is one of the strongest most people can't resist, The only way to form a resistance is to allow the Holy spirit to have his way in your life, have you wondered why so many still indulge in sin while at least knowing what God stand is ? The answer is the absence of the Holy spirit. Humans on their own can't fight off the urge to sin, they simply can't don't let anyone fool you. With an holier than thou kind of attitude Roman 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, The fallen state of man is as a result of sin and the upgraded state of man will be as a result of righteousness and holiness. Hebrew 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: Look at the part (b) of the verse clearly stating we cant see God when holiness is missing in our lives. sin and holiness are like two part of a coin is either you are sinful or holy. The ability to resist the urge of sin is one aspect that have got people confused, many follow the crowed to do whatever they see is En vogue this kind of attitude can only lead to a serious problem that could result to death like many young people are dying from one thing to the other, mostly by following the crowd The bible advised us to do one thing which is sensible wise and full of wisdom and that thing is to resist. James4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. your submission to God brings about a resistance to the devil which will result to him fleeing away from you. Submit to God now and defeat the devil for if the devil is not defeated sin will take over and the result payment or wages of sin is death both in the pysical and spiritual Lord help us to overcome every form of sin in Jesus name
