// SIN \\
It is an unpleasant subject so why talk about it?
What
is sin? I John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.

Time
is short and by studying God's word and by the power of the Holy Spirit God has
told us that we are living in the end of the end days.
God's word says no sin will enter heaven. If we are saying or doing things that we know God calls sin, things in his word that he says don't do, the believer puts himself or herself in a dangerous position.
I am not addressing the situation where a believer makes a mistake because we are under grace and we can quickly go to 1 John 1:9 and once that sin is confessed it is forgiven. God forgets it forever, it has been taken care of.
But what I am talking about is a believer keeps on sinning and knows better but makes a choice to do it anyway and never repent that is bad news. God expects us to repent and repent means to make a turn around to cut it out or stop doing this sin over and over again. If we love God no matter our past he will forgive us.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(KJV]
Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

The book of Corinthians was
written by Paul the authenticity of that has never been challenged. He wrote it to believers in the
Corinthian church and in chapter six he establishes the fact that believers will
even judge angels.
1
Cor 6:3 Do
you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to
this life? (NKJ)
1
Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the
unrighteous will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither
fornicators, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor
homosexuals, nor
sodomites,
10 nor thieves,
nor covetous, nor drunkards,
nor
nor revilers,
nor
nor extortioners
will inherit the kingdom of God.
Further
on in Galatians Paul says:
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are:
adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God..
Strongs: 3364 ou me (oo may);
i.e. 3756 and 3361; a double negative strengthening the denial; not at
all:
KJV-- any more, at all, by any no
means, neither, never, no (at all), in no case (wise), nor ever, not (at all, in any wise). Compare 3378.
So
what does the word say a believer is not to do, that is Interesting to those who
say "once saved always saved".

What is the opposite of sin or you might say the reverse of all this?
Prov 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all
sins. (NKJ)
The Fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love,
joy,
peace,
longsuffering,
gentleness,
goodness,
faith,
23 Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and
lusts.
