Sin is?????

I subscribe with Andrew Wommack Daily Devotionals and if my memory serves me well, this is one of the things I received early last year from one of the emails. Just thought I should share.

'We shall not renounce sin unless we see its sinfulness; until we turn away from it in heart'

There is a mean streak in Christianity today and it’s not against anybody but ourselves. Christianity is not a settle in, live in peace with the world the way it is 'Religion'.

Nobody goes to hell because of Satan. The only reason we go to hell is sin. Much more important than fighting Satan is fighting sin.

“What is sin?
It is the glory of God not honored.
The holiness of God not referenced.
The greatness of God not admired.
The power of God not praised.
The truth of God not sought.
The wisdom of God not esteemed.
The beauty of God not treasured.
The goodness of God not savored.
The faithfulness of God not trusted.
The commandments of God not obeyed.
The justice of God not respected.
The wrath of God not feared.
The grace of God not cherished.
The presence of God not prized.
The person of God not loved.
That is sin.”

All sins are attempts to fill a void. If you are full of Jesus far from a void you will have a fountain inside welling up to bless others!
The gospel awakens sorrow for sin by awakening a savor for God.

May God make many of you, out there into those who are clearly sold out to God. One reason to admire and trust Jesus above all persons is that He knows more than anyone else. John 2:24

---One great power of sin is that it blinds men so that they do not recognize its true character.
---Temptation usually comes in through a door that has deliberately been left open.
---God is not against us because of our sin. He is with us against our sin.

Shalom. The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible. J
