Law of sin

17 October  2012   

Romans 2:12-13 All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

God set His laws in motion when He created the heavens and the earth. The earth spins and rotates around the sun, the moon spins slowly and rotates around the earth, each in perfect time. This causes the tides and the changes in season, so this just proves the perfection of God’s laws. What goes up comes down, what goes around comes around, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, we do not invent the laws, we just experience them.

In the same way as you live so you live, if you live as if there is no God, then for you there is no God. As you live so you die, all sin has consequences even if you do not believe that what you are doing is not sin. For we do not determine the laws that govern sin, God does, and it is only God that has the true capacity to deal with the laws of sin. So if you have sinned it is God’s laws of sin that you have ignored, a person having sinned needs to recognise the laws of consequence, not only in their own lives but on the lives of those around them. It is only when we have recognised our sin that we are then able to approach God to help us to deal with the sin as well as the consequences that the sin has brought into our lives.

Be encouraged today to recognise your sin and the consequences that it has.

 

David
