Secret Places: Sin

Secrets of Sin

First mention of sin is Genesis 4:7 “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”

Sin = kata (khaw-taw)

is to miss the mark

go wrong

to lose

Anytime there is sin there is a loss to a thing

we lose parts of ourselves to the sin we commit

Sin is suffering

where there is sin there is also lack in our capacity to trust God in the area of our struggle

If we struggle with greed that is to say we don’t trust God in this area to supply our needs

If we struggle with gluttony that is to say we don’t trust God in this area to satisfy our hunger

If we struggle with fornication that is to say we don’t trust God in the area of our intimacy

ALL SIN LEADS TO IS SEPARATION TO A LACK OF SATISFACTION IN GOD

Genesis provides us paths to see how sin dwells in dissatisfaction

Sin is Secretive/Deceptive 32:1

God was preparing a path, place and provision on behalf of the people through His person Moses

Just as God prepares for us, Satan will also prepare for us to detour the plans of God

We have to always ask ourselves, is this God, is this me, or is this my enemy

Who’s talking to me?!?!

The sin was taking from what God spoke for

God asked for the gold, but sin spoke up for the gold

Sin will always speak

What is your sin saying?

Sin submits to the savior

Exodus 32:32 “Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.”
