10 Mistakes People Make with Sin (plus 1 bonus)

Lightning fast read meant to make you think…

10 Mistakes People Make with Sin (plus 1 bonus):

1. Think it’s okay to continue sinning since God will forgive them any way.
2. Don’t believe there is such a thing as sin (aren’t we just products of evolution after all?). (1 John 1:8, 10)
3. Conveniently overlook their own sins while condemning others. (Matthew 7:1-5; John 8:2-11; Romans 2:3)
4. Believe that mind over matter or meditation or yoga or anything else can help to overcome degenerate (sinful) habits (only Jesus can free/release you). (John 8:36)
5. Think that only one sin can’t hurt (one always leads to another and another).
6. Don’t realize that the full payment for their sin debt has been paid by Jesus Christ on the cross. (John 3:16; 19:30)
7. Forget that acknowledgement and confession of sin and a commitment to repentance (never doing it again) is key to being forgiven. (1 John 1:9; Mark 1:4)
8. Believe that man is good at his ultimate inner core (he is not; sin deceives). (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:10-12)
9. Overlook that sin is pleasing for a season, but ultimately brings about death. (Hebrews 11:25; Romans 6:23a)
10. Forget that we are to forgive others when they sin against us just once, twice or three times? No. Jesus said, “Seventy times seven times,” which means every time. (Matthew 18:21-22)

BONUS Will die in their sin and spend eternity separated from God in hell because they refuse to surrender to Christ. (John 8:24)
