When are you going to stop?

Sermon Topic: When are you going to stop?

Romans 6:1 – we talk about the fruit of the spirit but not about sin. Sin is the reality that the saints of God can’t allow to dominate our lives. What are the transgressions? 1 John 3:4 – We don’t see God, but he’s everywhere. Sin was passed down. Romans 6:23 – the wages of sin is death but the girt of 

God is eternal life.

God imputed the sin of mankind and put it on his son – Jesus.

God so loved the world. He is the forgiveness of our sins. He was made to be sin for us. He was pure and perfect.

Now that we are born again we have the power to resist sin. Romans 8:9 – But you are not in the flesh but in the spirit.

The body is dead because of sin but the spirit is light because of righteousness. Our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. 2 Corinthians 4:7 – we have the power to resist any acts, temptations and desire. Just because we have grace should we continue to sin?

Do we continue living in sin?

Romans 6:2 – How long can you live in sin, when you are free?

1 Corinthians 6:9 – We are buried with Christ. All through the new testament we are reminded that we are new. Ephesians 4:2 – put off the old man. We have to put it away from us, in our mental state. We have to confront those things that cause us to sin. If not you will always regret your decisions.

Deny yourself and pick up your cross.

Following Jesus begins with elimination. He tells you about the cost before he tells you about the benefits.

Attitudes must change. Satan will drive you to the brink of destruction. He came to kill, steal and destroy.

If you have vain thoughts, you must cast them down. You can’t prevent thoughts but you have the power to deal. We need to be humble, submissive and obedient to the word of God.

I may not like it, it may be painful but I have to obey God’s word.

John 14:21 – Keep his commandments and he will show up in your life.

Remove yourself from the throne of opinion and stop being judgmental. Romans 14:10 – We shall all stand before the real judge. Everyone will give an account to God.

Resist sin and worship God in spirit and in truth.

Hebrews 10:25 – don’t forsake the assembly. The word comes down from God through a man or woman of God to talk to the people. Ezekiel 3:17 – everyone has a friend of neighbor who isn’t saved and you didn’t warn them.

Their blood is on your hands. We are to bear on another’s burdens to fulfil the law of Christ.

Start at home.
