WE SHOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OUR SINS ARE

Since we are all descendants of Adam, we all have lusts in our hearts. However, what does God tell us? He tells us not to commit adultery even though we have adultery in our hearts. We have murder in our hearts, but what does God tell us? He tells us not to kill. We all defy our parents in our hearts, but He tells us to honor them. We should realize that His Word is right and good, but we all have sin in our hearts. Is this correct or not? It is absolutely correct. Therefore, what must we do before God? We have to admit that we all are masses of sin and hopeless sinners.

It is not right to think that we were righteous yesterday because we did not sin yesterday, but are sinners today because we have committed sins today. We are born as sinners. Whatever we do, we will still be sinners. This is why we should be redeemed through faith in the baptism of Jesus. We are not sinners because of our deeds: such as committing adultery, murder, theft, adultery...but we are sinners because we were born as sinners. We were born with twelve kinds of sins and since we are born as sinners in the eyes of God, we can never become good by our own efforts. We can only pretend to be good.

WE ARE BORN WITH SINFUL MINDS, so how can we be righteous even if we don’t actually commit these sins? We can never be righteous before God by ourselves. If we claim to be righteous on our own, it is HYPOCRISY. Jesus called the Pharisees and the scribes ‘the hypocritical Pharisees and scribes.’ Humans are born as sinners and they sin before God throughout all their lives.

Anyone claiming that he/she has neither fought nor hit anyone or stolen even a needle from anyone in all his/her life is lying because humans are born as sinners. That person is a liar, a sinner and a hypocrite. This is how God sees him/her. Every one is a sinner from his/her birth. Even if you don’t commit a single sinful act, you are destined for hell. Even if you have kept most of the Law and commandments, you are still a sinner destined to go to hell.

Then, what should we do with such destinies? We must ask for God’s compassion and depend on Him to be saved from our sins. If He doesn’t save us, then we will go to hell. That is our destiny. Only those who accept God’s Word admit that they were indeed sinners. They also know that they become righteous ONLY by faith. So, they know that ignoring and laying aside His Word without recognizing it is the most serious sin. Those who accept His Word are righteous, even though they were previously sinners. They were born again of His Word in His grace and are the most blessed.

THOSE WHO TRY TO BE REDEEMED THROUGH THEIR WORKS ARE STILL SINNERS

Who are still sinners even after their believing in Jesus? Those who try to be redeemed through their works. Let’s read Galatians 3:10 and 11. “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.’ But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for ‘The Just shall live by faith.’” It is said, “…everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the law is cursed.” Those who think they believe in Jesus, yet try to be justified by their works are cursed.

Where are those who try to be justified by their works? They are under the curse of God. Why did God give us the Law? He gave us the Law so that we may realize our sins (Romans 3:20). He also wanted us to know that we are complete sinners who are destined for hell. Believe in the baptism of Jesus, the Son of God, and be born again of water and the Spirit. Then, you will be saved from your sins, become righteous, have eternal life and go to heaven. Have faith in your hearts.

The Most Arrogant Sin in the World

What’s the most ARROGANT SIN in the world? TO TRY TO LIVE BY THE LAW .

We are blessed by having faith in His blessing. God saves those who have faith in His Word. But today, among believers, there are many Christians who try to live by His Law. It is commendable that they try to live by the Law, but how is it possible? We must realize how foolish it is to try to live up to His Law. The more we try, the harder it becomes. He said, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” We need to cast off our arrogance in order to be saved.

WE HAVE TO GIVE UP OUR OWN STANDARDS TO BE SAVED

What do we have to do to be saved? We must give up our own standards. How can a person be saved? It is possible only when he/she recognizes himself/herself to be a sinner. There are many who have not yet been redeemed because they cannot give up their WRONG BELIEFS AND EFFORTS.


God says that those who clench onto the Law are CURSED. Those who believe that they may gradually become righteous by trying to live up to the Law after believing in Jesus are cursed. They believe in God, but they still think that they have to live according to the Law to be saved.

Dear friends, CAN WE BECOME RIGHTEOUS THROUGH OUR WORKS? We become righteous ONLY by believing in the Word of Jesus; and only then are we redeemed. Only by having faith in the BAPTISM of Jesus, His BLOOD, and His GODHEAD, are we redeemed. That is why God has prepared the law of faith for us as a way to become righteous. The redemption of the water and the Spirit does not lie in the works of people, but in the faith in the Word of God. God delivered us through faith and that is how God planned and completed our salvation.

Why were those who believed in Jesus not redeemed? Because they did not accept the word of the redemption of the water and the Spirit. But we, who are as imperfect as they were, have been redeemed through our faiths in the Word of God. If two people were to work on a grindstone, the one left behind would keep on working, even after the other person is taken up. The one who is left behind represents one who has not yet been redeemed. Why was one taken and the other left behind?

The reason is because one listened and believed in the Word of God, but the other worked hard to keep the Law and was eventually cast down into hell. That person was trying to crawl up to God, but God shook him off, as if he/she were a bug crawling up His leg. If a person tries to crawl up to God by trying to keep the Law, he/she will surely be thrown into hell. That is why we have to be redeemed by faith in the water and the Spirit.

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them,’” “But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for ‘The just shall live by faith’” (Galatians 3:10-11, Romans 1:17).

Not believing in the Word of God is a sin before Him. In addition, it is also a sin to lay aside God’s Word according to one’s own standards. We human beings cannot live by His Law because we are all born as sinners and continue to sin all our lives. We sin a little here, a little there, and everywhere we go. We have to realize that we are of the flesh and cannot help but to sin.

A human being is like a big bucket of manure. If we try to carry it around, it will splatter all along the way. We are like that. We keep spilling sin everywhere we go. Can you picture it? WOULD YOU STILL PRETEND THAT YOU WERE HOLY? If you were clearly aware of yourself, you would give up trying in VAIN to be holy and believe in the water and the blood of Jesus. Those who are not yet born again need to cast off their stubbornness and admit that they are grave sinners before God. Then, they must return to His Word and discover how He saved them with the water and the Spirit

< Mark 7:20-23 > “And He said, ‘What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.’”

PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED AND LIVE UNDER THEIR OWN ILLUSIONS

Who is most likely to be saved? It is he who thinks himself to be the worst sinner !

First of all, I would like to ask you a question. How do you see yourself? Do you think you are GOOD or BAD? What do you think? All people live under their own illusions. You may not be as bad as you think, nor quite as good as you think. Who, then, do you think will lead a better life of faith? Will it be one who thinks of himself/herself as good? Or one who thinks of himself/herself as bad? It is the LATTER.

Let me ask you another question. Who is more likely to be redeemed—the one who has committed more sins or the one who has committed only a few sins? The one who admits that he/she has committed countless sins is more likely to be redeemed because the person accepts that he/she is a grave sinner. Such a person can better accept the Word of redemption prepared for him/her by Jesus.

When we really look at ourselves, it is evident that we are merely masses of sin. What are human beings? A PERSON IS ONLY ‘A SEED OF EVILDOERS.’ In Isaiah 59, it states that there are all kinds of iniquities in the hearts of people. Therefore, it is clear that people are masses of sin. However, if we define humankind as a mass of sin, many will disagree.

But, defining a person as ‘a seed of evildoers’ is the correct definition. If we honestly look at ourselves, it is clearly obvious that we are evil beings. THOSE WHO ARE HONEST WITH THEMSELVES MUST ARRIVE AT THIS VERY SAME CONCLUSION. But, it seems that most people refuse to admit that they are indeed masses of sin. Many live comfortably because they do not consider themselves as sinners

SINCE WE ARE EVILDOERS , WE HAVE CREATED A SINFUL CIVILIZATION. If it were not true, we would be too ashamed to sin. However, many of us do not feel ashamed while committing sins. Nevertheless, their consciences know. Everyone has a conscience that tells him/her, “It is shameful.”

Adam and Eve hid themselves among the trees after they had sinned. Today, many sinners hide themselves behind our vile culture—our culture of sin. They hide themselves among their fellow sinners to avoid the judgment of God. People are deceived by their own illusions. They think themselves to be more virtuous than others. So, when they hear about some bad news, they cry out in rage, “How can a person do such things? How can a man do that? How can a son do that to his own parents?” They themselves believe that they would not do such things.

Dear friends, it is so hard for you to know yourselves. In order to truly know ourselves, we must first receive the remission of sins. It takes a long time for us to obtain the correct knowledge on our human nature, and there are so many of us who will never find this out until the day they die.

KNOW YOURSELF

How do those who don’t know themselves live? They live hypocritical lives trying to Hide their sinful selves.

Sometimes we come to encounter such people who really don’t know themselves. Socrates said, “Know yourself.” However, most of us do not know what is in our hearts: murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye.... One who doesn’t know oneself has the venom of a serpent on his/her lips but speaks of goodness.

The reason for this is because the person doesn’t know that he/she was born as an INEVITABLE SINNER. There are so many in this world who do not know their true natures. They have deceived themselves and end up living their lives completely wrapped up in their own deceptions. They do not understand that they are throwing themselves into hell because of their self–deceptions.

PEOPLE SPILL SIN CONTINUOUSLY ALL THEIR LIVES

Why are they going to hell? Because they don’t know themselves.

Let’s look at Mark 7:21-23. “For from WITHIN, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” The hearts of people are filled with evil thoughts from the day they are conceived.

Let us just imagine that a person’s heart is made of glass and filled to the brim with some filthy liquid, namely, our sins. What would happen if this person moved back and forth? The filthy liquid (sin) would of course spill everywhere. As the person moves about, sin would repeatedly spill all over the place. We, who are but masses of sin, live out our lives just like that. We spill sin wherever we go. We will sin throughout our lives because we are masses of sin.

The problem is that we do not realize that we are masses of sin, or in other words, the seeds of sin. We are masses of sin and have sin in our hearts from the day of our births. The masses of sin are ready to overflow. However, people do not believe that they are, in fact, inherently sinful. They think that others lead them into sin and therefore, they aren’t the ones who are bad.

Even while committing sins, people think that the only requirement needed to wash themselves clean again is for sin to be expunged. They keep wiping up after themselves every time they sin, telling themselves that it is not their own faults.

Just because we clean up after ourselves, does it mean that it’s okay to keep on spilling? We would have to continually wipe up over and over again. When a glass is full of sin, it will keep on spilling. There is no use in wiping up the outside. No matter how often we wipe the outside with our virtuous deeds, IT IS USELESS, as long as the glass full of sin. We are born with so much sin that our hearts will never become empty; no matter how much sin we spill along the way. Therefore, we commit sins throughout our lives. When someone does not realize that he/she is indeed just a mass of sin, he/she continues to hide his/her sinful nature.

SIN IS IN THE HEARTS OF ALL PEOPLE AND IT DOES NOT GO AWAY BY WIPING THE SURFACE CLEAN. When we spill a little sin, we wipe it up with cloth and when we spill again, we wipe it up with a mop…a towel and then a rug.... We keep hoping that if we just keep wiping up the mess over and over again, it will be clean, but it simply spills again and again. How long do you think this will go on? It goes on until the day a person dies. People act sinfully until their dying days. This is why we have to believe in Jesus to be redeemed. TO BE REDEEMED, WE NEED TO FIRST KNOW OURSELVES.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

WHY IS CHRISTIANITY IN SO MUCH DECLINE ALL OVER THE WORLD?

Why are many Christians turning into ATHEISTS or New Agers? Why are christian youths leaving the church in droves? Why are many christians still in agony of their sins whilst claiming to have been saved and languishing in self deception ? Why are some Christians comfortable to be tagged as sinners even when they should have been made sanctified and RIGHTEOUS by God through His gospel of truth ? Why is present-day Christianity unable to truly solve the problem of sins for people and instead, have laid heaven burdens on them, thereby leaving many desolate and depressed, and eventually turning their back on God to their own detriment?

It all boils down to the fact that present-day Christianity has indeed lost the light of the TRUE AND COMPLETE gospel of water and spirit which grants more ASSURANCE and the HOLYSPIRIT to all who understands and wholeheartedly believes in it.
