ARE YOU FREE
FROM SINS CONSEQUENCES?
2nd PETER 2 : 4 - 9
Listen Church today, Sin is a rebellion toward
the Lord!
Sin has several forms – Sin is Disobedience
Sin is accusing – Sin is ignoring God!
Sin is not loving your neighbor!!
Sin is committing adultery and Fornication!
Sin has so many consequences that
I could probably go on all day and all night
But I probably better not!!
So many times today when people sin they don’t
Realize the impact it’ll have on them and God!
You shouldn’t desire to sin because it can
Sometimes be catastrophic.
And whether you can feel sins impact or not,
It’s still a reality and God Feels IT too!!
Sin effects us Physically!
Sexual sin produces sexually transmitted diseases
Such as Hepatitis, Aids, Herpes, and the list
Of Venereal Diseases goes on and on and on!
Some sin may cause you to die or to be put in
Jail or in the Hospital!
Some can cause Brain Damage Like Alcohol Abuse
Or Drug Abuse.
Sin can cause physical punishment like
Smoking cigarettes causes cancer
And chewing tobacco causes mouth, tongue, and
Throat Cancer!
All sin produces bad consequences!
Sin also affects our conscience.
Or most commonly called GUILT!
Without God we really have no remedy
For Guilt.
Guilt can be mild or it can be overwhelming!
I’m sure that there have been people that have
Actually killed themselves because of Guilt!
Like The disciple Judas, He hung himself
because of his Guilt from leading those
people to Jesus.
Guilt produces side effects like;
Worry, Fear, Sadness, Despair, Rejection,
And So Very Much More!!!
Without God it’s very difficult to overcome
These problems that guilt can produce!
Sin also produces spiritual problems which
Affect people committing sins.
Sin separates us from God and it robs us
From the eternal reward that Jesus paid the
Price for, on the cross at calvary!
Sin will cause us to have spiritual death!
When all we have to do is repent and submit
Ourselves back into obedience to God and
That’s The Remedy for everything that
goes wrong.
Just keep in mind that there is no escaping
What lies beyond this life, We can experience
Eternal Life through Jesus Christ or we can
Experience eternal Death!
And that is what the devil wants!
If you have noticed the devil don’t bother
People living in sin too much, because he
Already has a hold on them.
But you give your life to Jesus and watch
Out, cause you are going experience some
Battles with Satan!!
And if you don’t battle Satan then you will
Experience Judgment Day!!
2nd Peter Chapter 2:4 - 9
For if God spared not the angels that sinned
But cast them down to hell, and delivered them
Into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto
Judgment.
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah
The eighth person, a preacher of righteousness,
Bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into
Ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly.
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked
For that righteous man dwelling among them in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
Here is a place that nobody will escape,
And God knows how to punish the wicked
And he knows how to reward the righteous!
2nd Peter makes it very clear that there are
no exceptions to this law of God.
So whoever sins against God is doing major
Harm to themselves.
If you rebel against God you will be sent down
To Hell! That’s pretty simple!
I’ve heard that some people believe in a place
Called Purgatory or someplace between Heaven
And Hell.
I don’t know about you but I don’t believe in it!
There isn’t a place or state between the height of
Glory and the depth’s of misery, for you to find rest!
If we have salvation we will enjoy what God has
Provided for us, But if we live in sin then we will
Suffer in hell!!
Sin is the works of darkness, The Bible tells us
Not to fellowship with the unfruitful works of
Darkness.
Darkness is the wages of Sin! Darkness and misery and torment follow the darkness of sin!
If you don’t want to walk according to God’s
Direction, and stay in the lighted path, then
You will experience being deprived of the light.
If there are only a few righteous, they will be
Preserved, God wont destroy the Good with the bad.
