A reminder for
today
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal,
sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I
not; but what I hate, that do I. (Romans
7:14-15)
What would this world be like without sin? Have you ever given
this idea a moment of thought? Currently the world is doing everything in its power
to justify sin and to make morality look uncool. We see this in the media and
in the majority rule all over the world. TV makes desire, lust, greed, stealing,
murder and in general sin look cool. Robin Hood steals from the rich to give to
the poor. James Bond has a license to kill and to sleep with every woman he
meets. The name of our Lord is abused and misused and everywhere TV shows seem
to focus more on sin than on the moral correct thing to do.
So, instead of accepting Jesus man decided to make sin
acceptable. Well, we know that the beginning of sin was man who was misled by
satan in thinking that he could be like God. This misconception is still around
when we look at evolutionists who is doing all they can to get God out of the
picture and put themselves in the God’s place. Scientists are cloning animals
making them the self-proclaimed creator. People are going as far as changing the
bible to suit today’s world. Then there is the desire for wealth and power that
has destroyed many innocent lives. Just look at South Africa and how lust,
jealousy and desire has destroyed our country and many lives.
God gave is ten simple rules. Let’s recap them for a moment:
And God spake all
these words, saying, I am the
LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make
unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is
in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that is
in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them: for I the LORD thy God am
a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation of
them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain;
for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember
the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
work: But the seventh day is
the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and
hallowed it. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt
not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt
not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor
his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is
thy neighbour's.
Jesus came and summarised them for us by simply saying: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and
great commandment. And the second is
like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.
Come with me today as we destroy sin by doing just that. Love
and show love as Jesus did.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
