Romans 14:23 tells us simply that anything that is not of faith is sin. Faith comes from God. (James 1:17) Faith comes by hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17) It is possible to read the Bible and not hear the word of God. (2 Corinthians 3:14) We must remain connected to Christ. (John 15:5) We can become disconnected. (Colossians 2:19)
Everything that doesn't originate from God is sin. Proverbs 21:4 says, "An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin." Note that even the work that the wicked person does is sin. Whatever is not of faith is sin. Did you ever realize just how narrow that narrow way is? If God didn't ask you to do it and you do, then that is sin. God wants to be part of our every thought, word, and deed. He designed us for this. This is the only way that we can find our fulfillment. All else is sin. There are several types of sin, but they all come down to this. Satan does not care how far you are off or in what direction you are off. He just wants you to miss the target. You will miss the target with anything that you do by your own will and power. You will miss the target with anything that God did not ask you to think, say, or do--God must lead. You will miss the target with anything that God did not think, say, or do within you--God must do the work. That is very a very narrow way. Words for sin are found in the Bible.
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question Topic: The Strait and Narrow WaySin: Acknowledging lies rather than Truth, so you step or slip off the narrow and restricted Way that leads to the genuine and absolute fullness of Life. Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life. Key Scripture: whatever is not of supernatural belief and trust is sin. Romans 14:23b Whoever does miss the mark (sin) also does lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness. * 1 John 3:4 Owe no one anything, but to love one another:... Love is the fulfillment of the law, Romans 13:8-10. Sin is breaking the law, 1 John 3:4. Love is what righteousness is and has many facets as 1 Corinthians 13 says. God is love. We cannot have righteousness without having God. We cannot have love without having God. In fact, righteousness is a free gift from God, Romans 5:17. Righteousness is by grace through faith. The children of Israel made ... The human mind: The human mind was never created to function outside of the anointing of God. God created the human mind to literally flow with the holy anointing oil of the Holy Spirit. The book of Proverbs tells us that all knowledge, wisdom, and understanding come from God. Given that reality, who would want to be unplugged? The Scripture is clear that we are three part beings. We have a spirit,... We may have never realized just how very strait (constricted) (Luke 13:24) and narrow (Matthew 7:14) that way of righteousness is. It is very narrow and constricted. If God didn\'t tell us to think it, say it or do it, then it is sin. It is missing the mark. If God did tell us to do it and we get our flesh involved at all, to the extent that we... The Way Is Very Narrow And The Gate Is Very Strait Key Scripture: whatever is not of supernatural belief and trust is sin. Romans 14:23b Whoever does miss the mark (sin) also does lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness. * 1 John 3:4 Owe no one anything, but to love one another: for whoever loves another has fulfilled the law. For this: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal,... This particular response happens more often in those who have been born again than it does in those who have not been born again. The seed, the gospel of the Kingdom of the Heavens, lands on the trampled path of the heart in a Christian. How did that path get trampled and hardened? Isn\'t a Christian\'s heart supposed to be soft toward God? The heart becomes hardened by repeatedly missing... The narrow way is very narrow indeed. In every moment, God directs, and we either yield to Him or resist Him. Matthew 7:13 & 14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth to life, and few there... Love; so much has been written about it. Think of all the love songs and also the songs that have been written to tell us about love. All we need is love. What the world needs now is love, sweet love. And the many romance novels seem to sell very well, plus the many books written to teach us about love. Here are two facts about love. God is Love. Love... Jesus said, \"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.\" John 12:32 This came to pass in North Carolina at the Camp. Glory to God! We were drawn to Him in a miraculous way. In First Corinthians Chapter one verse 10, we are admonished by the Apostle Paul to all speak the same thing, to have no divisions among us, and that... Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Real righteousness is by grace through faith. ... Question: I have been a member of a denominational church for about 19 years. How can I introduce foundational truth about the Five Fold Gifting to the house and still be submitted to my Pastor? I am sold out for God and I do not want Him to say to that I did not do as he has commanded me to do. Now I know that my commission is great. I... |
