First
of all, lets find out were the crime of sin originated from. It began when we
disobeyed God. (Genesis 2:16,17) And the
LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest
freely eat:
17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not
eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
We
were not lead blind to sin against God; we just simply disobeyed God’s words.
The most dangerous things in this world is access to temptation. Everyday our
mind become like a microphone, and the devil is the voice speaking into that
microphone trying to get you to record his message in your heart to temp you to
do a crime against the word of God.
Lets
take a look at what the word of God tells us were sin started its course to the
death of man. (Genesis 3:1-5) Now the
serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had
made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every
tree of the garden?
2: And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
2: And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
At this point what I said earlier about the
devil speaking into our microphone of our mind and recording it into our heart
over writing the area of God’s obeying words caused Eve to sin against God. The
Devil has a way of decorating, sugar coating, dressing things up, or sinful to
look good, and ok to try. Read Genesis
3:6
6: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for
food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her
husband with her; and he did eat.
After
Adam and Eve eat the fruit they noticed that they were naked. Knowing that this
didn’t feel right or look right they made themselves clothes. Then they hide
themselves form the presents of the God knowing they are guilty of the crime of
sin. Read Genesis 3:7,8
7: And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew
that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves
aprons.
8: And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
8: And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
The
great sin of disobedience brought in the sin for the entire world for all
mankind. St. John 3:3 Jesus answered and
said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Lets
remember that our good works are not going to get us into heaven, helping
you’re fellow man in need, or contributing to a good charitable cause, or
living a clean life will not give you favor with Jesus to give you promise to
enter into heaven with out repentance. All that are born into this world have
falling short of the one thing that will get us into heaven. Read Romans 3:19-23
Now we know that what things soever the law
saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.
20: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21: But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22: Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
20: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21: But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22: Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Once
we call upon the Lord in repentances and realized that we have falling short of
the glory of God. Jesus Christ will forgive you of all your sins in the
precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that bore our sin on the cross for the
entire world. Read: 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the blood
of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
God
gave up his only son that he loved very much for us to save us for the death of
sin. Read: John 3:16 For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
