| =====DA 3 PARTS OF SIN=== |

| |
THE PROBLEM OF SIN HAS THREE PARTS----- Its PENALTY.
Its POWER.
Its PRESENCE;
And the good news, the gosple, includes what God does about each of those three parts ofsin problem.
4 MORE about this, i would like to consider what God has already done about sin's penalty.
Let us in few minutes look at how he deals with sin's power and presence.
SIN, the bible clearly says , carries its own built-in penalty.
The natural, inevitable consequence of sin is death: 'The wages of sin is death" {Romans 6-23}
Death is not a punishment God inflicts on those who break his rules--his law.
Death is the automatic result of breaking the laws of God.
Note: When we live within his laws, we are happy, healthy, and Holy.
But when we ignore them, we do great damage to ourselves.
"
N.b Imagine for a moment that u're an astronaut.
You're outside your spaceship taking pictures, when the insane urge comes over you to remove your helmet.
we all know what will happen to u if u give in to that senseless notion. You will die.
It is natural law that man cannot live without oxgyen.
If u do remove your helmet and u die, did God kill you? Is death his punishment for breaking his natural law? {And by the way, isn't the purpose of punishment to educate- to help a person learn to associate negative behaviour with unpleasant consequences?
IF SO, HOW CAN YOU "LEARN" anything to help you in making your future choices, if u're dead?
GOD DOES NOT KILL U FOR DISCONNECTING YOUR OXGYEN SUPPLY.
DEATH IS THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR OWN UNWISE CHOICE.
AND THE LAW OF NATURAL THAT SAYS U WILL DIE WITHOUT OXGYEN IS ALSO NOT YO ENEMY:
THIS LAW DOES NOT KILL U-----IT WARNS YOU! ITS ON YO SIDE.
ITS THERE TO PROTECT YOU---NOT 2 RESTRICT U.
IF GOD'S LAWS RESTRICT US AT ALL, THEY RESTRICT US FROM HURTING OURSELVES.
I love u dear.
BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME.
