THE DECEITFULNESS OF SIN
Heb.3:12-13
The consequences of sin
To stress the dangerous consequences of sin and how to avoid them
The truth will always expose sin for what it is
I SIN IS DECEITFUL IN ITS PROMISES
A. Sin couldn’t keep it’s first promise
B. Sin never has kept one of it’s promises
C. Sin never will keep one of it’s promises
II SIN IS DECEITFUL AS TO ITS PURPOSE
A. Sins Purpose is Death not Life
B. Sin takes instead of gives
C. Sin Burdens instead of Blesses
III SIN IS DECEITFUL AS TO ITS POWER
A. Before you sin - Sin will first make you think that you can stop it anytime you want to stop
B. After you sin - Sin will make you think that you can never stop what you’re
doing once you’re started
C. Both of these are a Lie and part of the deceitfulness of sin
1. If you can stop anytime you want, then stop before you get started
2. Jesus broke the power of sin (I Jn.3:8)(Heb.2:14-15)(I Cor.15:55-57)
3. You don’t have to live under the power of sin (Rm.6:12-14)
BENEDICTION
Don’t be deceived by sin
Your friends may look cool now, but you haven’t seen their end yet
I’ve lived long enough to say from this book and experience THAT SIN WILL DESTROY YOU IF YOU DON’T ACKNOWLEDGE IT FOR WHAT IT IS
There are a room full of people here tody that could testify to this message
But this book is all we need - If its in this Book, Do It!
