On sin PREVENTION

 

The LORD JESUS declared:

Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


'Tis the season to be jolly, so they say.

At what cost?

From today, till New Year, let's be more vigilant.

The holidays, and celebrations, can make us go astray.

After much social restriction, there can be an all-out revenge.

Believers, and unbelievers, are both susceptible to the pull of sin.

How to prevent sin from taking over your life?

First, we present to you what the Bible says about sin.

Who, and what will not be allowed in the kingdom of GOD.

Then, we'll tell you the simplest ways to prevent sin in your life.

For now, the ways of sin:

2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, 

that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, 

false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.


Revelation 21:27

King James Version

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it 

any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.


Revelation 22:10-11

King James Version

10 And he saith unto me, 

Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: 

for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: 

and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: 

and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: 

and he that is holy, let him be holy still.


Revelation 22:15

King James Version

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, 

and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, 

and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.


Now that we know what are abominations unto GOD, it's time to know how we can prevent sin from entering our lives.

Or, if we've sinned, to prevent more sin from encroaching upon us, or committing others to sin, too:

1. SEEK God with all your heart.

2. BECOME born again.

3. BELIEVE in Jesus.

4. LET Spirit teach you Scripture.

5. REPENT of your sins.

6. BELIEVE in the gospel.

7. HAVE NO fellowship with darkness.

Ephesians 5:11-13

King James Version

11 And have no fellowship 

with the unfruitful works of darkness, 

but rather reprove them.

12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things 

which are done of them in secret.

13 But all things that are reproved 

are made manifest by the light: 

for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.


2 Corinthians 6:14-17

King James Version

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: 

for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 

and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? 

or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? 

for ye are the temple of the living God; 

as God hath said, 

I will dwell in them, 

and walk in them; 

and I will be their God, 

and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, 

and be ye separate, 

saith the Lord, 

and touch not the unclean thing; 

and I will receive you.


To be FREE of sin, be OUT of the scene.

FOCUS on JESUS alone.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


And keep GOD's WORD in your heart.

Psalm 119:11

King James Version

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, 

that I might not sin against thee.


The RAPTURE can occur any moment.

Would you be ready to meet JESUS up in the air?

Take heed the Bible.

Become born again.

Listen to SPIRIT.
