Christianity Etc › Re: What Happens When A Believer "Dies In Sin"? A Biblical Exposition Of What Sin Is by Successdude(m): 12:19pm On Dec 22, 2019 |
jiggaz: What Happens When A Believer “Dies In Sin”. A Biblical Exposition Of What Sin Really Is And What Jesus Did To It
A Bible Study by Prince Gabriel Okocha
One of the most common question I get asked after teaching on the wonderful gift of Salvation given to us in Christ is, “What if the believer dies in sin?”
The other formats the question usually comes in includes, “what will happen to a Christian who died in sin?”, “where will a Christian who died in sin go to?” Oftentimes, they usually expect me to say “Hell”.
While I am aware some people ask these questions with the intent of trapping you into saying something they will cherry-pick and use against you, I am also aware some do so out of the sincerity of heart, to learn the truth of God’s word. However, the question wouldn’t have even been an issue in the first place if we had taken some time to study what the Bible has to say concerning sin.
What does the Bible call sin?
There are two of them. Unfortunately, the first is where most people stop at. I implore you to not learn about the first alone but also pay enough attention to the second.
The first thing the Bible refers to as sin is wrongdoing or wrong acts. That is not rocket science. Nearly everyone knows this. The wrong acts here includes lying, cheating, stealing, idol worship, fornication etc. But that is not all there is to sin. As a matter of fact, these wrongdoings are better referred to as sins.
The second thing the Bible calls sin which is actually the main thing the sacrifice of Jesus dealt with on the cross, is the evil “nature” passed onto every man from Adam. This nature is the main thing that separated us from God, or you can say “killed us spiritually” since spiritual death is simply a separation from God. It qualified every man a sinner even without doing anything evil.
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned
The sin nature is what produces the sins (the wrong acts) we see present in the world. As long as a man has not received or accepted the sacrifice of Jesus for himself personally, this nature is still very much active in him. It can drive him to do anything, all manner of evil, without remorse. It is just his nature.
Apostle Paul explains it better like this;
Eph 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Did you notice in that verse 3 how he referred to us before encountering Christ as the Children of wrath by nature? He took time to explain that the reason we committed all manner of sins as in wrong acts, was because we had the nature of sin within us. As long as that nature was within us, we could do anything, anytime, anywhere.
Without minding what anyone would say or do. In his prophetic explanation of the reason for Christ’s coming, John the Baptists tells us clearly “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1 :29)
What sin was he talking about? Lying, stealing or fornication? Not exactly. He was referring to the root of sins which is sin itself, i.e the nature.
So how will Jesus take away that sin seeing that He was not born into it like every other man? How will take it away if he never had it in the first place?
On the cross Jesus willingly had His nature of righteousness stripped from Him and took upon Himself that sin nature and became “sin” or a “sinner” like every other man. Not by evil actions but by nature.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. In His death, he died bearing that sin nature in Himself for all who would believe and come to God through Him. He died and was buried with it. But in His resurrection, He resurrected a new man, with a new nature- the nature of righteousness.
This new nature of righteousness is automatically reproduced in all who receives it by Faith in His death, burial and resurrection for them. By receiving it through faith, they become qualified to be called Righteous men, even without doing any good thing at the moment. They become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. So, the major thing the Bible refers to as sin in the Bible is the nature of sin. That is what makes a man a sinner before God. As long as you don’t have this nature any more through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus, you are not a sinner anymore. You may still do some bad stuffs occasionally, but that doesn’t make you a sinner again in God’s eyes.
In the same way, you can do all the good things in the world, help the poor, pray etc as many times as you lie. As long as you have not accepted the sacrifice of Jesus for yourself, you are not a righteous man. You are a sinner in God’s eyes. If you die that way, you will perish in Hell.
So what will happen to a Christian who dies in sin (nature)?
First the Christian can never die in that state seeing that His sin nature has been taken away by Jesus according John 1:29. He has a new nature in him which is the nature of righteousness. Also if he dies committing a sin (wrongdoing), apostle John tells us his fate.
1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
That scripture is not only valid when the Christian is alive, it is valid as long as the word of God is valid. That is forever, and ever , and ever! When the Christian is present on this earth or gone. That is what the Bible teaches. Not that he will end up in Hell even after being born again in the image of God. There is no single scripture in the Bible that supports that notion that if a sinful believer dies, he will end up in hell. If that were to be the case then everyone will end up there since there are over 613 sins that we can consciously or unconsciously commit before dying. Saying we didn’t do any of it intentionally is not a valid excuse before God. Claiming ignorance does not also work with Him.
Our only hope is His words, His sacrifice and forgiveness. At all times. Should we then take that as a license to go on sin rampage? God forbid! Apostle Paul tells us:
Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him
He says “put off” all forms of wrongdoings. That is, stop them. Why? Because you no longer have the “old man” which is the nature of sin in you. You now have the “new man” which is created in the image of God. In righteousness and true holiness.
So, for the man in Christ, the nature of sin has been dealt with once and for all, and his entire wrongdoings has been completely forgiven. This is the Gospel. This is what the Bible teaches. I hope this blesses you! Glory to God

Business › Re: 5 Profitable Things That Will Always Sell In Nigeria by Successdude(m): 1:42pm On Dec 15, 2019 |
micronut: Finding exactly what to buy and sell is one of the first problems that many would-be entrepreneurs encounter in their quest to find a means to make money through trading..
A lot of people will say money is the first problem to start a business, but as much as money is key, getting the idea of the right thing that sells and would always sell is much more important.
There are lots of people with thousands of naira in their accounts today, who are constantly going online to see, what exactly they can do with the money, so getting the right product or service that is needed is the first hurdle to cross when searching for a good business.
By putting the environmental factors, the Political, and sociocultural norms in a business environment into consideration, here are 5 things that will always sell in Nigeria, come what may.
1. Food: As a student back then, once I withdraw my monthly stipends from banks, the very first thing I do is to head to the market to stock my food buckets, and there are thousands of people like me around the country, who do that weekly or monthly, once they get any money or collect Salaries.
Food is unarguably the no 1 basic necessity of life. It is the real fuel that drives existence and has become what no one can do without. It doesn’t want to understand that there is recession in town or you’re broke. You either borrow to get food to eat or you beg.
There is no just anyway you will boycott buying foods except one who is ready to die of hunger, and as such, food remains world no 1 thing, that humans and animals think about each day.
Going into food related businesses is sure a right way to go. And you can never go wrong with one.
Just study your environment, know exactly what kind of food services you can provide and you will continue being relevant in the area.
Examples of food related services are as follows.
Raw foodstuff Retailing in Neighborhood or Market – Look for Farmers that are willing to sell their Agro products and take them to places where these food commodities are highly needed or scarce. E.g Buying Yam from Benue or Niger State and transporting them to Lagos to resell. No matter how small, you will see little gains.
Cooked food Vendor for schools, factories, or on streets. As long as people move around and population keep increasing, you may be in this business for decades, doing well. I have friends whose mothers are food vendors that were always first to pay school fees and enjoy better care than many. Others are Manufacturing of food and beverages, pure water factory, frozen foods, selling and grinding of pepper, selling vegetables, palmoil retailing, daily needs food grocery store, retailing packaged brand food items, selling of fruits and beverages etc. The most interesting thing about all of the above food businesses is that you can start some with just N50,000 and others with N300,000. Think about this, do your research and go for it.
2. Health Related Products: Health they say, is wealth. It is wealth to the healthy and also to the one providing healthy services. Everyday, there are millions of people globally searching for the right drugs or health related products to put them back into shape or let them forget their health worries.
This put Healthcare industry one one of the most patronized industries after food.
We are in world where a lot of things are threatening our existence on this space called Earth, and many people wouldn’t mind spending their last kobo to ensure they get healed, hence health business is growing hugely.
From tablets to body fitness products, to cream for skin problems to tons of herbs products for sexual enhancements, people are making lots of thousands daily from the healthcare industry and you can be part of them too.
I know there are hundreds of people around us who will pay any amount to get the best weight reducing drug or tea, as I write.
Many have bought many that didn’t work. And If you know any one that works, then you are sure in money. Just keep advertising on social media and go to big places like campuses, religious centres, and show them testimonies from those who have used it and how they never stopped thanking you for being a life saver. You will sure have many willing to try yours.
Other products you can sell easily are those treatment herbs or drugs for Arthritis, Blood pressure – these are nightmare for many old folks.
Another is Pimples – oh this one can mess up your confidence and pretty face. As I write, some can spare N5000 to buy one cream that will heal every and they can become reseller.
Research today and know what works better and you will be rolling in money.
3. Clothes: The Fashion industry is a big one, world over and it generates over a million dollars revenues to operators of those in the sector.
I once advertised some chiffon tops for my cousin on nairaland in 2016, from the bale of Okrika she bought and we had callers from as far as Bayelsa states, PH, Abuja who we sent all the choices to, from Lagos and even after moving to a bigger business, we still get calls almost weekly if those clothes are still available.
People change Jobs, and get office works daily, they are always in need of office clothes in numbers, you can be providing this service.
New born mothers are always buying clothes for their babies as they grow in sizes, you can specialize in this kind of clothes. You can sell new or fairly used.
Above all, Nigerians love partying, there is almost no weekend especially on Saturdays where more than 1000 guests are not putting on clothes they are just wearing for the first time.
There are many party uniform wears like Ankara, Lace in what Yoruba calls “And-Co or Aso Egbejoda”. A single fabric seller can supply all.
So, clothing business is indeed a lucrative one especially if you are well located and connected. After all everyone wants to look good.
4. Gadgets: Since the communication industry has been liberalized in Nigeria, that gave everyone access to having a phone, to communicate with others, and as such mobile phones have become one of those most patronized Items in Nigeria.
Everyday people get tired of their old phones because of adverts of a new Iphone this or that, or Androids that they see.
Some want another smaller phone.
Some people are too careless, they spoil their phones easily or get it lost, and because they can’t risk being blank, getting urgent replacement is the next option.
An Igbo business man came to my phone repairer friend one day, he was getting unease and started asking if the phone is repairable or not, or he should go and buy another one because he is already loosing some business deals because of the faulty phone.
That’s how important phones are to many people, if not all.
Today, even a jobless graduate will buy N50,000 worth of mobile phone and when it gets damaged, he or she will find means to beg uncles or parents to get a replacement.
Like phones, there are other gadgets especially phone accessories that people buy daily, such as headphones, chargers, USB cables, earpiece, bluetooth, casein, desktop chargers, etc. You can try selling phone accessories too.
Another popular gadget people use alot is laptop. Oh, Laptop selling is another cool business. You can buy 5 laptops at N50,000 each and sell one at N60,000. Making ten thousand on a unit product is such a cool business. All you need is marketing to the right people, especially students and office people. You can grow steadily in this business.
5. Housing Items: Everyday we all come from a home and get dispersed into the street in search of our daily breads and at dusks we are all heading home to keep our head, or to get some rest.
Home is part of man and no matter where how comfortable outside might be, there is always something that will be telling you that it is time to go home.
So, making a good home is the business of many. Everything you see in a building from construction to finishing shows businesses of lots of people.
Few things you can sell for home builders are; planks, roofing sheets, iron rods, cements, curtains, rugs, carpets, plumbing materials, furniture, kitchen utensils, gardening tools, electronics, etc.
And because people move from homes to homes, cities to cities, the need for most of these items is becoming an everyday thing, hence you will always have new buyers..
You can easily research more on any of this and begin your journey into the business world.
I hope this is a bit helpful?
