SIN KILLS

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezekiel 18:4 [KJV]

Sin is a riddle, a mystery, a reality that eludes definition and comprehension. All unrighteousness is sin. Whatever is not right is wrong. Sin includes failure to do what is right. Sin also offends people; it is violence and lovelessness toward other people, and ultimately, rebellion against Yahweh. Sin involves a condition in which the heart is corrupted and inclined toward evil. Sin is disobedience to the Word of Yahweh. From the beginning the verdict of the creator on disobedience is death. Genesis 2:16-17 says, “16 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.” That is the day that you decide to disobey the instruction not to eat of this tree, you are signing for death. This death was eternal separation from the creator which ultimately affected the physical existence of the man also. Adam finally committed that treason and brought upon humanity death. Romans 5:12 says, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin? and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Death is still reigning today by sin. Sin brings reproach, erodes honour, terminates dignity, cuts down and brings low. Sin is at the root of every evil, because before sin came there was no evil. At the root of every disease and frustration is sin. Sin is a spiritual heart disease, and you know that heart disease is the shortest cut to death. Ezekiel 18:20 declares this verdict “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. …”

Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death? but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Sin kills joy, destroys finances, the family, peace in the home, the business, etc. That is, you will virtually be living as a dead person if you continue in sin, because the Bible says in I Timothy 5:6 “But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.” The person is a walking corpse! I Corinthians 15:56 says, “The sting of death is sin? and the strength of sin is the law.” That is wherever you sight sin, what is following it is death. It doesn’t matter how glamorous sins looks, it is just a coated death pill. When sin stings, it results in death when not treated on time. If you have snakebite and it is not treated, you are ready for the grave, because it carries deadly venom. That is exactly what sin does. Whenever you look at sin, please see beyond that enticement and see the reality of sin which is death. It will cut your life short on earth and send you to eternity in hell.

Sin is not anybody’s friend; it is a hideous enemy. It is out with subtlety to disappoint people’s destinies. So stop it before it stops you, kill it before it kills you! Sin is sin no matter who commits it. Selah!

REMEMBER: Sin kills physically and eternally in the lake of fire.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I receive the grace to apply the prescribed treatment over sin and live free of it eternally in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
