Holy Scripture and Conviction of Sin
Holy Scripture and Conviction of Sin
“A CHILD BORN TO AN UNWED MOTHER IS AN UNCLEAN CHILD!” Every sin named in the Bible has the possibility of sending you to eternal hell. No man or woman can choose the sins to reject and the sins to continue. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) My alcoholic dad committed suicide and his blood soaked Bible under his head had that scripture underlined, and opened. There is no truth that this generation needs more than this verse. The God of the Bible will not and does not tolerate sin. You will either turn from sin or be eternally lost. That’s exactly why the Son of God came to our world to offer the sacrifice and cleansing from sin. One song says, “What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.” The church will not see Revival until our preachers start preaching against sin. When about 50% of all homes are occupied with couples living together outside of marriage, we must call their action “whoredom.” When preachers preach that Christians are still bound to all kinds of sins we need to call these preachers, “false prophets. When families allow sons and daughters into the home with their LIVE INs we need to show these parents that their home is unclean and filthy. Sin is sin and all sin makes everyone that condones it a partner with evil. Revival will follow a church world that calls it’s members back to righteousness and purity. Its glorious to know that every one of those living in sin can repent and be saved.

Bro. Chambers, though it’s been a good while I expect, yet the memory stays with you forever
and I am SOOOO very sorry that your father took his own life. How sad for you & others who
loved him!

Dear Jan, OPEN your eyes and look at the youth of today. When you couple the raw sin in Rock Music and our culture with being born out ot “Wedlock” you see the results every day on the news. Read I Cor. 7:14 and pray for these troubled lives. Both the sinning parents and these born in unnatural circumstances can be SAVED and set free to live for Christ. We must declare the results of sin!!!!!
Pastor Chambers,
Please clarify the 1st line?
Little ones have–as we all do since Adam—original sin, but this line gives the
impression that the child is especially “tainted” with his/her parents’ sin. Each is
precious in His sight.
My husband and I work at a crisis pregnancy center, and —as you might suspect—most
of our clients are unmarried. We witness to them, and many do come to the Lord,
and marry or remain abstinent until marriage, when our Lord brings someone special
into their lives.
Ps 139 (the “prolifer’s psalm”)says it best:
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that
full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 17
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to
count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
God bless! Jan in AZ

Charles, I know of no one that is a Christian that claims to have never failed or sinned since becoming a Christian. What we do not accept is calling Christians, sinners and giving them a license to contenue in willful sin. Read Romans chapter six. When a christian fail and has to repent thay are not getting saved all over again. Read I John 2; 1-2. Every one of us was born in sin and we all have sinned. Please guit using that Scripture to teach sinning more or less constantly. Saints are saints and sinners are sinners. You cannot be both at the same time or Paul really mess up in the Book of Romans.

From Charles
It sounds to me like once yourself ,got saved, you have never once sinned again. If one has to get saved more than once, the cross is of no affect. “For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” “If you say you have never sinned, you are a liar and the truth is not in you” “The wages of sin is death” and every human is gonna die because of that sin. Jesus the Christ, died on Calvary, andf rose again the 3rd day, to offer the gift of eternal life. It is a GIFT.
Gifts aren’t given, so the giver can take them back on demand. The gift is not of works, lest any man should boast.It is free to anyone that the Holy Spirit convicts and they repent of their sins and asks Christ personally for that free gift of salvation. As the song says, ” What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.” One day , God will look at my life and see nothing but the blood of His Son. Do ya think that God doesn’t forgive sins? I read in my KJV that he DOES…
James
“Then came Peter to Him, and said, ‘LORD, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times (seven is the Biblical number of completion and includes 7, 70, 700, and 7,000)?’ Jesus saith unto him, ‘I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven'” (Matthew 18:21-22). The number 7 x 70 = 490 and this is the amount of times that we are expected to forgive others on a daily basis. The likelihood that we would have an opportunity to forgive another person 490 times in one day is slim to nil, however we know that Jesus goes by the same Book of commandments that we do (Psalm 138:2). This means that He will forgive us the same 490 times each day. What a loving and gracious and merciful God we serve!

Hello Pastor Joseph.
Paul in no way condoned sin, and in fact addressed this very issue in Romans 6 that we should not be instruments of unrighteousness. Yet in the very next chapter he admitted his own constant struggle with sin very clearly (Romans 7:14-25) I don’t think the placement of these topics by Paul was accidental.
In fact, find it admirable for this “Evangelist to the Gentiles” to be so honest and up-front with his colleagues and friends in Rome. Here was a man who actually saw Jesus in a supernatural way on his journey to persecute Christians in Damascus, and he had to fight with sin even after his encounter and reformation.
This makes Paul just like the rest of us, doesn’t it?
I think the message here is to not give up, to persist, to let the Holy Spirit help us to become more as Jesus would have us be but recognizing that until we receive our glorified bodies, this battle will be an on-going one.

Its a constant battle, to expose sin, especially in our “own” lives, never mind that of the nations!! But it creates brokeness and humility….Moses even discovered this, his recurring bad temper eventuelly disqualified his entering the promised land….crucify the flesh, count yourselves dead to sin, put to death whatever belongs to your earthly nature, walk in the spirit and you will not gratify the cravings of the sinful nature…I agree 100% Pastor, the lies that claim to be a modern day gospel are just like the prophet who idiotically prophesied wine and beer to the people, gave them what they wanted to hear, call good evil and evil good etc. Amos was hard against church entertainments. Or what about the lying spirit in the mouths of all those false prophets of Ahab (that ultimately lured Ahab to his death…..) Jehoshaphat was very nearly ruined in that bad alliance with Ahab, but he learned from the mistake when the ammonites and moabites attacked later in his reign, instead of teaming up with a godless sinner “HE RESOLVED TO ENQUIRE OF GOD”…. Micaiah spoke the truth, Elijah spoke the truth, Jesus is the truth
