Biblical Importance

• Isaiah 591st verse says, Behold, the Lords
  hand is not shortened, that it cannot save nor
  His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
• Regardless of the degree of sin, the Lord can
  still save, He can still, here a sinner prayer.
• The 2nd verse reminds one that it is your sin and
  iniquities that have separated you from God.
• It is important to know that whos ever takes
  that way of life, shall not know peace, simply
  because your sins testifies against you.
• One should put on righteousness as a breastplate,
  and a helmet of salvation on His head, so when
  the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of
  the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

Sin Separates 1-1

• What does sin do, and what kind of affect will
  it have on the believer's life?
• Sin causes a separation. It separates you form
  your God. This separation from God is death
  eternal, unless you Repent.
• Behold, the Lords hand is not shortened, that
  it cannot save nor His ear heavy, that it cannot
  hear.
• Go to GEN 33v. God spoke to Adam but of the
  fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the
  garden, God has said, you shall not eat it, nor
  shall you touch it, lest you die.
• The instruction from God Himself was very clear,
  do not eat from it, nor do not touch it, lest you
  die. This sinful act from Adam caused him to be
  separated from God.

Sin Separates 1-2

• What Happen physically and what happen
  spiritually?
• Immediately after Adam ate of the tree that God
  told him not to, Adam immediately died
  spiritually.
• After Adam ate of the tree of knowledge of good
  and evil, he immediately died spiritually, then
  he, began to die physically. Sin had entered into
  the human race, and brought with it death.
• The fact, that man is a sinner is proven by the
  fact that he dies where there is death, there is
  sin.
• ROM 512v says Therefore, just as through one
  man sin entered the world, and death through sin,
  and thus death spread to all men, because all
  sinned.

Sin Separates 1-3

• Sin penalty by death it can be remedied by
  lifes union with God, which is achieved by
  belief in Jesus, who died to pay the penalty of
  mans sin.
• ROM 521v says, so that as sin reigned in death,
  even so grace might reign through righteousness
  to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
• For the one who believes in Jesus, the penalty of
  sin is broken. Behold, the Lords hand is not
  shortened, that it cannot save nor His ear
  heavy, that it cannot hear.
• Yes, you will die physically (unless you is alive
  when Jesus returns to take all believers to
  heaven with Himself.

Sin Separates 1-4

• 1 THESS 51-11v talks about the description of
  the day of the Lord.
• Paul writes about the description of the day of
  the Lord, by saying for you yourselves know
  perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a
  thief in the night.
• Take a look at 1 THESS 53v For when they say,
  Peace and safety! then sudden destruction comes
  upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.
  And they shall not escape.
• Now this description that Paul writes about the
  day of the Lord, signifies that the very moment
  they say these words, Peace and safety! The
  Lord Himself will cause a significant change to
  take place threw out the hold world. This event,
  also signifies that this, is the day of the Lord
  coming back. It does not tell us when the day or
  the hour of his return. But it does states that
  then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor
  pains upon a pregnant woman and they shall not
  escape.

Sin Separates 1-5

• But let us who are of the day be sober, putting
  on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a
  helmet the hope of salvation.
• Those who are saved in Christ Jesus keep the
  faith and love, for this is your helmet, the hope
  of salvation.
• You see God did not appoint us to wrath, but to
  obtain salvation through our Lord and savior
  Jesus Christ. Behold, the Lords hand is not
  shortened, that it cannot save nor His ear
  heavy, that it cannot hear. Repent and give your
  life to Him this day now.
• The physical death for man is only the doorway
  into the presence of God. Sin, however, does have
  an effect upon the believer. Sin is death to the
  unbelieving person because it separates them from
  God.
• Less briefly talk about the Revelation Concerning
  the Dead in Christ, 1 THESS 414-18v

Sin Separates 1-6

• 14v For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
  again, even so God will bring with Him those who
  sleep in Jesus.
• 15v For this we say to you by the word of the
  Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the
  coming of the Lord will by no means precede those
  who are asleep.
• 16v For the Lord Himself will descend from
  heaven with a shout, with the voice of an
  archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the
  dead in Christ will rise first.
• 17v Then we who are alive and remain shall be
  caught up together with them in the clouds to
  meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall
  always be with the Lord.
• 18v Therefore comfort one another with these
  words.

Sin Separates 1-7

• Sin in the believers life is a terrible thing
  and is not to be tolerated. Yet it is probable
  that the believer will sin, but it is never
  necessary for him or her to do so.
• 1 John 21-2v My little children, these things I
  write to you, that you may not sin. And if anyone
  sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus
  Christ the righteous.
• 2v And He Himself is the propitiation for our
  sins, and not for ours only but also for the
  whole world.
• Sin causes one to be separated from God. To me
  Paul gave one of the greatest examples when he
  made this statement, I die daily

10
Sin Separates 1-8

• What should be done about Sin in a believer's
  life?
• Psalm 325 I acknowledged my sin to You, and
  iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will
  confess my transgressions to the Lord ,And You
  forgave the iniquity of my sin.
• The believer should never condone or attempt to
  excuse his or her sin. There are only two things
  that should be done about sin Confess it and
  forsake it.
• The Old and New Testaments both agreed on this.
  David confessed his sin and experienced the
  Lords forgiveness.
• John agrees as he points out If we confess our
  sins, He is faithful and just to for give us our
  sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

11
Sin Separates 1-9

• Confession means to acknowledge and ask for
  forgiveness.
• The believer is instructed to say the same thing
  as God says about his or her sin. God wants us to
  repent, confess our sins and ask for forgiveness.
• When the believer confesses his or her sins, he
  or she has the assurance that God is faithful.
  There is no sin too great and no sin too small,
  God is able to cleanse us completely from
  anything that is inconsistent with His own moral
  character.
• Behold, the Lords hand is not shortened, that
  it cannot save nor His ear heavy, that it cannot
  hear.

End of Presentation

• Seek the Lord while He may be found
• Isaiah 556-7v
• (6v) Seek the Lord while He may be found, call
  upon Him while He is near.
• (7v) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the
  unrighteous man his thought Let him return to
  the Lord, and He will have mercy on him and to
  our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

• Hope that you have enjoyed this teaching about
  sin ruling in the life of the believer. Just
  remember that when the believer confesses his or
  her sins, he or she has the assurance that God is
  faithful. And that God will here your
  Acknowledgement pardon your sins.
