FROM BONDAGE TO BLESSING
ROMANS 8: 1-4
INTRO
ALTHROUGH THE BIBLE IS A BOOK OFFERING THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION FROM SIN,IT IS ALSO A BOOK THAT PRESENTS THE BAD NEWS OF CONDEMENT FOR SIN.
THE BIBLE REVEALS THAT, SINCE THE FALL, EVERY HUMAN BEING HAS BEEN BORN INTO THE WORLD WITH A SIN NATURE WHAT DAVID SAID OF HIMSELF CAN BE SAID OF EVERYONE 51:5 PSALM. PAUL DECLARED IN CHAPTER 3:23 "ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD".BECAUSE OF THAT SINFULNESS, ALL UNBELIEVERS ARE UNDER GOD’S CONDEMNATION AND ARE BY NATURE CHILDREN OF WRATH EPH 2:3.
MAN IS NOT SIMPLY INFLUENCED BY SIN BUT IS COMPLETELY OVERPOWERED BY IT, AND NO ONE CAN ESCAPE THAT DOMINANCE BY HIS OWN EFFORT.
SIN IS A DEFILING DISEASE THAT CORRUPTS EVERY PERSON, DEGRADES EVERY INDIVIDUAL, TROUBLES EVERY SOUL.(1) IT STEALS PEACE AND JOY FROM THE HEART AND REPLACES THEM WITH TROUBLE AND PAIN.(2) SIN PLACES MEN AND WOMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS UNDER THE POWER OF SATAN. (3) BECAUSE OF SIN ALL OF HUMAN KIND IS BORN IN BONDAGE TO PAIN, DISEASE AND DEATH. (4) BECAUSE OF SIN, THERE IS A CURSE ON THE UNBELIEVERS MARK 16:16, HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTITIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMED
