Confess your Sin to One Another
Intro
I fully relize todays topic is not going to be a popular message.
We don’t like to talk about sin
it usually something we rather ignore and sweep under the rug.
allow everyone to struggle on their own
but that’s exactly what the enemy wants you to do.
darkness is the friend of sin.
When we shine the light of God’s Love on it, its very difficult for sin to exist
the why James tells us in his letter
Let’s Pray
What is Sin?
sin is an archery term meaning to miss the mark.
sin means simply to do, say, or believe something outside of God’s will
it can be doing the wrong or not doing the right thing
It can be saying the wrong thing or not saying the right thing
It can be believing the wrong this, or not beleieving the right thing
and there are consequences to sin....
Consequences of sin
This big one
Sin is what brought death into the world.
before Adam and Eve sinned in the garden,
there was no dealth
there was no pain, no suffering, no evil
Everything was good!
But sinned changed all that.
we now live ina fallen world due to the consequences of sin.
5 things happend to the human race when Adam and eve were removed from the garden
Loss of righteousness
Seperation from God
Cursed enviroment
Physical Death
Need for clothing
David expands on this in Psalms 51
David had no means to overcome sin other than ritual sacrifice.
yet he knew the consequence of sin
Seperation from God and removal of Holy Spirit vs 11
Loss of Joy vs 12
David could only overcome his sin through ritual sacrifice
Lev 1 tells us of the Burnt offering
The burnt offering was the most important sacrifice at most Israelite festivals and was offered once every morning and once every evening.
Bringing the burnt offering was a very personal experience,
To make atonement for his sin and to gain God’s acceptance, the offerer identified himself with the animal by laying his hand on the animal’s head.
When the animal died, it died for the offerer’s sins.
Guilt Offering
The guilt offering asked for something beyond sacrifice; it required restitution.
The guilty person had to confess his sin publicly, offer the blood sacrifice, and also make full restitution of what was defrauded, adding an additional twenty percent.
Rather than a cheap or easy repentance, this dearly cost the person who sinned.
Lev 4 tells us of the sin offering
the sin offering was sacrificed when a person sinned unintentionally by breaking one of the Lord’s commandments and later realized his guilt
This was Davids only method of getting right with God
God’s people in the OT new the high cost of sin.
they had to sacrifice something of great value to make things right.
But there was a problem.
Animal sacrifice only covered over their sins.
It hide their sins from God’s view
There was a better way
Jesus’s purpose in coming to earth was to provide the means for all people to overcome sin
It was simply to cover it over, but ti wash it out of existence
By dying on the cross Jesus satisfied the jusice of God, by dying in our place
Like i the OT when the person would put their hand on the head of the animal and the animal would then die in thier place
Jesus died in our place!
And by rising from the grave Jesus demonstrated His power of death and the grave!
7 deadly sins
now in the catholic tradition there are 7 deadly sins?
1) Lust 2) Gluttony 3) Greed 4) Sloth 5) Wrath 6) Envy 7)Pride
but every sin is deadly.
The payment for any sin is death
And that’s why Jesus had to die in our place
There are no big sins or little sins
sin is sin
The Bible does make a distinction
Why does God hate sin?
God hates sin, and wants us to have no part of it
Because sin destroys us, and God paid a very high price to eradacate that sin
The enemy tempts us to sin to sow theft, death, and destruction in our lives
When we sin we play right into the enemies hands.
How we overcome sin in our lives?
Let’s be honest, as a beleiver you know when you do something wrong.
Holy Spirit is always quick to remind us when we’ve missed the mark
but for many Christian they can get caught in this
sin > confess > sin > confess cycle
have you ever confess a sin multiple times.
we call that habitual sin, and its one of the enemies greatest weapons
it can be worry, fear, lust, envy, greed
well to honest it can be just about anything.
whenever you aligned youself with the enemy against God
that may be a hard rebuke, but that is what sin is
let’s take the example of worry.
worry is trustung the enemies plans over God’s.
How do you overcome that?
inject repentance into the cycle
sin > confess > repent > move on
repent means to turn 180 degrees and go the other direction.
Why should we confess our sins to One Another?
The letter from James emphasizes the power of prayer in the life of believers.
It also reminds us that, even if we truly know and love the Lord, we still sin.
While we remain in these earthly bodies, we will continue to battle with sin.
Some have said
In the body of Christ, sometimes we sin against our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
