STOP SINNING!!!

Corinthians
“Come to
your senses” means: Don’t be stupid! Sin is stupid!
What does stupid mean? When someone does something stupid, it means
that the negative consequence
was obvious, but they did it anyway.
Have you ever done anything stupid? Yeah, me too.
Listen to me students: SIN IS STUPID!!! YOU KNOW THE RESULT OF SIN! SO COME TO YOUR SENSES AND STOP SINNING!!! STOP acting like Jesus never died for you!!!
Stop acting like you never
made a commitment to God to live for Him
3 Things to do to keep
yourself from sinning:
1. Love
God too much
The
#1 way to stop sinning is to Love God.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your mind and with all your strength & Love your
neighbor as yourself.”
Love
prevents sin.
2. Fear
Him
Fearing God means respecting Him as God.
The healthy fear of God will keep us from sinning!
Ex 20:20 “Moses
said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that
the fear of God will
be with you to keep you from
sinning." NIV
“The fear of God, will be
with you (WHY?) to keep you from sinning.”
God is your Father and He knows that those things
that look fun to you will actually hurt you and destroy you
in the end.
3. Read
His Word
David
said in Ps 119:9-12 “… I have hidden your word in my heart (why?) that I might not sin against
you. 12 …
“I
will read and study the Bible, so I don’t sin against God today.” PJV
Kneel
in the morning and you won’t fall in the day.
Study
the Bible, Love God and let Him bless you and order your steps.
There
are 3 things that keep people from repenting and
accepting God’s forgiveness
1. They feel they have to earn
it. You can’t earn God’s grace and forgiveness
2. They feel they don’t deserve it. You don’t, but
that’s why it’s grace.
That’s why it’s
mercy – undeserved forgiveness
3. They feel they don’t need it.
