Focus: The Only Antidote for Sin

WORD FOR TODAY
The only way to be free from sin is to flee from it. It only takes a man who has been helped of God through the work of the cross to flee from sin!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." (2 Timothy 2:22 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no immunity against sin. There is no anointing that can prevent a man from sinning. The man who will not sin is the one who flees from sin. Irrespective of who you are and how great and long God has been using you, you are not permitted to toil with sin but to flee from it.

Each time you flee from sin you will escape from it. Joseph flees when he was tempted and sin did not catch up with him. You don't stand in front of sin to resist it. The way to resist it is to flee from it. You must be careful and seek God to help you to flee each time sin is crouching at the door. As you flee from sin, you are to pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace as God's children.

+ Is your life free from sin?

Lord! Let grace be made available for me to always flee from sin and pursue righteousness in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Sin will not catch with you if you find strength in God to flee from it!!!

Have a Graceful Worship Experience!!!

cc: jonatoye

It is proper to flee from sin and all appearance of evil but can you flee from sin when it comes at you even in private when no one is around or watching? Will you flee from yourself when arrows/demons of lust, evil thoughts, malice, bitterness, fault-finding and etecetera are fired/sent against you?
There is a time to FLEE from sin and there is a time to RESIST unto blood the striving against sin. RESIST the devil and he will flee. (2 Tim. 2:22, 1 Thess. 5:23, Heb. 12:4, James 4:7)

You shouldn't just say the "only" antidote to sin or to keep from sin is this/that.
The "Titanic" blood of Jesus is an "antidote" to sin, that is after you have been washed in the blood of the Lamb spiritually but if you become careless/lukewarm, sin will overcome/defile you again before you know it.

Sin is not only a wrong action or an inaction (missing the mark, omission or commission) but also uncleanness in the sight of God (defilement, pollution).

The "antidotes" to sin after being born again are:
1) The blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7)
2) The grace of God (Rom. 6:14)
3) The Holy Spirit/Christ/the Word dwelling in us and we in him (1 John 3:6-9, 1 Cor. 6:16)
4) Watchfulness and prayerfulness (Matt. 26:41)
4) Holiness, righteousness and obedience to the will of God through right knowledge (1 Cor. 6:17, Hosea 4:6-10)
5) Love [walking in the Spirit for the fruit of the Spirit is love] (Prov. 10:12, Gal. 5:14,16,18, 25, Col. 3:14, 1 Pet. 4:8 )

I would not conclude that this list of "antidotes" is exhaustive. God knows.

Sin is not only something from the outside to flee from, there is the Adamic nature within the flesh (until we are translated at the Rapture) and temptations from the evil ones even in our closets. We all need to draw close to God whose name is Holy and walk with Him, and by that we draw away from sin, external and internal, visible and invisible. Amen.

WaleRock:

Psalm 119:11 KJV
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Proverbs 4:23 KJV
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Thanks for the contribution

Yeah, but if one continues in sin:

Romans 8:13 KJV
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall DIE (spiritually): but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live (eternally).

Ihedinobi3:


I don't think that your interpretation here is correct, my friend. The text does not add "spiritually" or "eternally," and I can't think of any other part of the Bible that can lead one to interpret this verse that way. Is there a reason why you interpret it as you do?

davidinchrist:


Okay, well I'm sure 'die' in that context is not mainly physically, but spiritually: which is to be separated from God forever = Hell; the bible calls it the second death. While to live eternally is to be forever with God = Heaven.

Note the passage is majoring on sins, and overcoming sins; and sin separates one from God. We know if one finally dies in sin without repentance, he goes to hell, where there is no place for repentance (spiritual death or second death).

Spiritual death started with Adam and Eve, after sinning by disobeying God, they realized they were naked. But thank God through the sacrifice of Christ for as many that love him.

I hope it's clear, that's my sure conviction and understanding. However, you don't need to agree with me, though.

Thanks.

davidinchrist:


Revelation 2:11 KJV
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh (sins/worldliness/wickedness) shall not be hurt of the SECOND DEATH.

Ihedinobi3:



I'm afraid I don't see much of what you say in the Bible.

To begin, we "know if one finally dies in sin without repentance, he goes to hell"? How do we know this? I've never seen it anywhere in the Bible. Do you have a passage?

The passage is indeed talking about sins, but I don't think it says what you said that it says. As you said, sin does separate between us and God --

6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
1 John 1:6 (NKJV)

But I have never seen that sinning as a believer leads to spiritual death anywhere. It's like saying that a child who is still pleased to be under the authority of his parents is cut off for stealing from the cookie jar. We humans don't even do that, how much more the God Who gave His One Unique Son to die for our sins.

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9 (NKJV)

4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; 6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:4-11 (NKJV)

5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1 Corinthians 5:5 (NKJV)

That is, when we sin and confess, the Lord will forgive us. If we continue to sin without confession, we risk being disciplined with greater and greater intensity until the Lord actually kills us. If we die still sinning or failing to confess, it is because we are being killed by the Lord in order to save us from the Lake of Fire. That is precisely what 1 Corinthians 5 among many other passages including this verse in Romans 8 teaches. So I don't really see what biblical reason you have for saying what you say.

Another problem is the idea that the Second Death and Spiritual Death are the same thing. You also said that when Adam and Eve sinned, they died spiritually, and you are right (Romans 5:12), but the Second Death is the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:14-15) and they obviously were not in it at the time, so why do you say that the Second Death and Spiritual Death are the same? It doesn't seem to me to fit.

It seems to me that the Bible teaches that because of Adam's sin, human flesh is defiled with sin and therefore we are all spiritually dead from birth, that is, we are "dead to God" (Colossians 2:13; Ephesians 2:1). We are not reckoned as His Children unless we accept the Gospel when we hear it. Spiritual death, the Bible seems to me to teach, is what the relationship of an unbeliever is to God while they are still alive in the flesh. When we believe, we are born anew/again/from above/of God, so that we become alive to Him (Romans 6:11,13; Colossians 2:13). If we don't believe or we start believing and then stop, we revert to spiritual death. That is not the Second Death still. It is just being/remaining/returning to being enemies with God.

You certainly have a right to your convictions and your understanding. I believe and teach that we all have a free will and thus have individual responsibility to God to believe what we are convinced is true. That is how we will be judged. If we believe lies, it won't matter why we do, we will be punished accordingly. If we believe the Truth, it will only be because we were persuaded in our own hearts that it is true. Nonetheless, we are responsible to help each other in this race. That is our job description as members in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:4-7; Ephesians 4:1-16).

I am a pastor-teacher, so I am responsible to explain the Bible and defend it wherever it may be profitable to fellow believers for me to do so. That is why I'm engaging you. As the Lord Jesus said, if you accept a prophet in the name of a prophet (that is, as a prophet), you will get a prophet's reward etc (Matthew 10:41; John 13:8,14), likewise, if it suits you to let me wash your feet, then you can take what spiritual benefit I am capable of giving for your own good. If it doesn't, that is just as well. I am always pained and disappointed when I offer my spiritual service to a brother or sister and they reject it, but it really does not cost me anything when they do. My reward with the Lord is dependent only on my willing obedience to Him, not on the response of those I try to help. If I teach, explain, and persevere with anyone to understand the truth, my job is done and I will be rewarded at the Judgment Seat of Christ. If the person accepts my help and comes to full understanding of the Truth, they are benefited so that they can stand up to the lies of the enemy afterward and also walk in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord, and they will be rewarded at the Judgment Seat of Christ for obeying the Lord to seek out the Truth and believe it. If they reject it, then they will suffer what consequences they are due. I don't feature there either way. Each person's response is between them and the Lord. But I have a responsibility to the Lord to offer my help wherever it may be needed.

As for Revelation 2:11 and similar statements in Revelation 2 and 3, I don't see this parenthesis in the Bible. It is an interpretation of yours too, I believe, and I don't think it is correct. The reason that I don't is as follows:

4 For whatever is born of God the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:4 (NKJV)

So, it seems that the overcoming is of the world and it is done by faith in Christ. If anyone believes and continues to believe until the end of their life here on earth, they are an overcomer in the eyes of the Lord. Sin doesn't seem to have anything to do with it here.

Now, I don't believe that sin is not a serious issue. It very much is. If we were not sinners, the Lord Jesus would never have had to die on the Cross for our sins. Sin is a serious thing. But that is why God does not ignore it in His children. He disciplines us when we sin. If we remain stubborn, He could kill us just to save us from going to Hell if we are also stubborn about our faith and unwilling to give it up. But we are also warned that sin can seduce us into giving up our faith --

12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:12-13 (NKJV)

So, we ought to be serious about avoiding sin. But avoiding sin is not the sum total of the Christian experience. In fact, it is supposed to have already been done when we believed. There are far more important things that we should be busy with. So, it is a mark of spiritual immaturity when we are still struggling with questions of sin. We will never be perfect in this life (Jude 3:2; 1John 1:8 ), but by the time that one has grown to spiritual maturity, some things should just not be that big of an issue with us anymore.

This is what I see in the Bible, my friend. I don't see anything even suggesting that sinning or even failing to confess sin at the point of death has anything to do with one's eternal status.

orisa37:
THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO SINS IS OBEDIENCE TO ALL AGREEMENTS.

davidinchrist:






First, I would say, I don't argue. But I strongly disagree with somethings you've written up there. I don't seem to see eye-to-eye with your interpretation of the passage.

"IF WE DIE STILL SINNING OR FAILING TO CONFESS, IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE BEING KILLED BY THE LORD IN ORDER TO SAVE US FROM THE LAKE OF FIRE."

I consider the above teaching as terribly dangerous cos the Bible says Jesus will only accept those without Spots and Wrinkles. It says we must be PERFECT as the Father is perfect. Perfect in sense that we turn from all KNOWN SINS, and then press on to become more and more like Christ.

"Yields The Peaceable Fruit Of Righteousness TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT.
HEBREWS 12:4-11 (NKJV)"

"5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit "MAY" BE SAVED in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1 Corinthians 5:5 (NKJV)"

The point is: "TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT." Cos some won't be willing to submit to the training.

The Bible says, he that sins is of the devil:

1 John 3:8-9 KJV
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

[9] Whosoever is born of God DOTH NOT commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

So, I wouldn't buy your interpretation of 1 cor 5:5.

Anyway, I've heard your points; although I disagree with some major parts of them. As said, I don't believe in getting into Bible arguments.

Thanks for your time.

Goodbye.

Luke 13:23-24 KJV
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

[24] STRIVE to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and SHALL NOT BE ABLE.

1 John 3:6-7 KJV
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

[7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1 John 3:3 KJV
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1 Corinthians 15:34 KJV
Awake to righteousness, and SIN NOT; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

davidinchrist:
Ihedinobi3:

"To begin, we "know if one finally dies in sin without repentance, he goes to hell"? How do we know this? I've never seen it anywhere in the Bible. Do you have a passage?"


Luke 16:22-23 KJV
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

[23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Luke 16:25 KJV
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Although, some try to water this passage down by calling it a parable. But I believe Jesus was narrating a real life story.

abeliver:
Death is solution to all man's problem.

CalvinGaye:
The only antidote to Sin i know is
* being filled with, and BEING VERY TRUTHFUL to the Holy Spirit.
A constant fellowship IN the Spirit is what will keep us Cognizant of Our TRUE NATURE(in the Scripture).

Kobojunkie:
Unfortunately, as long as you are still human and live in this world, sin will always be around.

CalvinGaye:
Very TRUE � But remember, it's not your righteousness that set you free, rather that PERFECT WORK of Christ on the Cross. And so it will be better to see your righteousness from Christocentric angle and not your efforts.

CalvinGaye:
We would always err as humans, but the BELIEF and Christ-centered steadfastness in us is very important, so as not to let THE POWER OF SIN DOMINATE OUR EARTHLY LIVES (which The Lord condemned in Scriptures).

CalvinGaye:
I am not set free by righteousness, no.

Lol! YES YOU WERE
We were 100% Set free by the Perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus Christ.


We are set free from the penalty of sin i.e. death and are given, instead, eternal life when we believe in Jesus Christ. That is the Salvation that has been given us.

Yes indeed! The Salvation was given to us freely BECAUSE of The Perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS we have which is in Christ Jehushua. It is a Gift from The Father God.



Righteousness, the obedience of the commandments that is Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, however, is how I qualify for a place in Heaven, instead of Hell(a place prepared for all those who believe in Jesus Christ but refuse to obey Him).

Yes indeed! Our belief in the eternal and Absolute Absolving Power(from Sin) of this Righteousness is the definition of our Salvation and faith
And it is the Pedestal upon which our Life and VIRTUES as Christians is based upon.
Hell is off the Picture coz one in Christ is like one already in heaven.(remember when he compared us to John the Baptist)
We just have to keep growing in Christly Wisdom and Glory(with the help of the Spirit, and his WORD) and seeking more of the Kingdom(which we are part of already).


Condemned? But Jesus Christ said He has not come to condemn but to save.
Anyways, I hold the belief that the antidote to sin is obedience.. obedience of the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ.

Understand my perspective first!
I never said God condemned Sinners!
I said He Condemned the situation of "The Power of Sin having Dominion over us" haven't you seen the scripture where it said that??
It says "Sin(and it's evil powers) shall not Reign(or dominate) your mortal Lives" There is a reason why Jesus said in Revelation that Only OVERCOMERS shall join him in his kingdom.
So when you are a born again(in Christ), I think that scripture should also be true in your life despite all human flaws.
