Dwight continued the “Connect the Dots” series Sunday with a message on sin and its consequences. Powerful, thought-provoking stuff. I took tons of notes. Here are some of the scuds he fired:
- The Bible does not exist to prove there’s a God. He already assumes that. The Bible exists to help us get to know Him.
- People who don’t believe in sin and don’t understand the Fall will find it impossible to understand the world we live in.
- Everything that’s wrong with the world is because of sin.
- Genesis chapter 3 is arguably the more important chapter in the entire Bible.
- The first thing Satan likes to do to us: cause us to doubt God.
- God didn’t create evil. He created a man and a woman and gave them a free will. When they chose to go against God is when evil entered the world.
- Satan first tempts…then he accuses.
- Two things Satan always attacks: 1. the Word of God, and 2. The character of God.
- It is possible not to sin. Y’all ok?
- Let me tell you why you sin: You don’t trust the Word of God and you don’t trust the character of God.
- The essence of sin is that we trust ourselves more than we trust God.
- Each time we sin it leads to more and more opportunities to sin.
- God always deals in reality.
- The good news: there hope for every one of us in Christ!
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
