This week is my last article on the results of sin. To conclude the series, I want to look at how sin results in the curses that we experience in this life. The Bible plainly tells us that because of sin painful curses fall upon man as he lives in the world: ‘However, if you […]

After a short break, we now return to our series on sin, particularly the results of sin. This week I want to look at how sin results in more sin. When we sin, part of God’s punishment is to give us over to more and more sin. This is very clearly stated by Paul: ‘They […]

We have been looking at the results of sin and this week I want to look at how sin results in a guilty conscience. Sinners feel the weight of their sin by their conscience. David gives us two examples. When he cuts off part of the robe of Saul (‘David was conscience-stricken for having cut […]

We return this week to our series looking at the results of sin in man. Last time we saw that sin blinds the mind, this week I want to look at how sin results in a depraved mind. When we sin, God gives us a depraved mind. Paul says: ‘Furthermore, since they did not think […]

Most people recognise themselves as sinners.  They admit they do some things that are morally wrong and acknowledge it with the saying ‘nobody’s perfect’. But can sinners do anything that pleases God? The Bible tells us that no person by their own strength can do anything that pleases God. Without Christ everyone sins all the […]

As we continue on in our series on sin, I want to look at whether parts of a person are sinful and other parts are pure. For instance are your emotions sinful but your mind is not? The Bible tells us that all of every person is totally affected by sin – intellect, emotion, will, […]
