Sins and Solutions

From The Four Trains to Hell

- by Don Giddens 1966.

 

Isaiah 33. 14.  The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

 

Repent? From what exactly should we repent? There are several lists in the New Testament of people who should NOT think they are going to Heaven! Let's not fool ourselves. If we are on this lists we had better get off today by submitting to the righteousness of Christ! Repent and believe.

 

1 Corinthians 6. 9.  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

  10.  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God.

 

Galatians 5. 19.  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,  20.  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,  21.  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

 

Colossian 3. 5.  Mortify [1]therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

 6.  For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

 

Revelation  21. 8.  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Revelation 9.21.Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

 

We will divide these into four lists naming the sins and giving the solutions from the Bible:

Some Have Believed in Vain

 

Some Have Not Truly Repented

 

2 Corinthians 12. 21.  And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

 

Perhaps Continuous Self-Destructive Sinfulness Means They Have Received the Grace of God in Vain

 

2  Corinthians 6. 1.  We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2.  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

 3.  Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

 

Some Have Not Truly Believed

 

1 Corinthians 15.1.  Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

 2.  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

 3.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures;

 

Some Are Still Depending on  Keeping the Law

 

Galatians 2. 21.  I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

 

Galatians 5. 4.  Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

 

Let us search our souls for any of these besetting sins, repent, and trust Jesus for deliverance. This is the victory that overcomes the world- even our faith.

 

I. Sins of Unbelief

 

In this group are all who refused to believe the death of the SON of GOD on the Cross was not enough for them to go to Heaven.  Seeing the Creation and the Creator was not enough to convince them to trust Him with their eternal souls. They walked by the outstretched arms of the CHRIST accusing Him of rank blasphemy. Who can forgive sins but God?

They are  doomed by the demons of unbelief and must repent and believe to be saved.

If you do not find yourself guilty of any of these sins, check Romans 1. You might be there? Or just go look in the mirror of the Ten Commandments.

 

How can we escape the judgment? How can we quit!

 

Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ today.

 

We overcome by faith!

1 John 5. 4.  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

 5.  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

 

You might do as I, pray this prayer, telling Jesus how sorry we are.

 

Lord Jesus,

I find myself a horrible sinner in Thy sight, according to Thy Word.

I am a (name your dominating sin that is destroying your life and relationships).

According to Thy Word, I should not fool myself into thinking I am going to Heaven. I am a sorry, rotten, sinner who only deserves Hell for Eternity.

Jesus , I believe you died on the cross for sinners and rose again to give them Thy perfect righteousness. At this point, I turn from my sin of _____________

with all my heart. Save me from___________ and the dreadful penalty it will cost me if I do not truly repent.

Thank you for dying on the cross for ________, my sin.

Thank you for dying in my place for _________.

Cleanse me from _________________!

 

Jesus, make me whole. Save me.

 

Now, I am trusting thy word, John 3.15

5.  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

 16.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

I do not believe in myself or any One but Thee.

 

According to John 3.16, I am going to Heaven by faith believing.

 

Titus 3. 5.  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.

 

Renew me everyday, Jesus. Empty me of  my sinfulness, and fill me with Thy  Holy Spirit everyday.

 

Amen.

 

2 Corinthians 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.
