If a friend of yours stole some money from you today. Apologised for stealing from you, and continued to steal from you a second and a third time, How would you feel?

Not only is that a reflection of how God feels towards you when you sin, repent and continue to willingly sin, but every time you sin, you end us stealing your own salvation from yourself.

What Is The day of atonement?

Well what does the word atonement mean?

The reconciliation of God and man through Jesus Christ.

So the day of atonement is a day that God has given to man to reconcile/repent for their sings through Christ our Lord.

The day of atonement is something most churches do not speak of today, and most likely do not teach that this is a day that you should recognise or keep, when in fact it is one of the most important days for us to remember.

James 2:15-17

If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

So knowing what faith is, we should come to understand that faith without works, is dead.

Isaiah 5:20-21

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Today I wanted to briefly touch on our mentality when it comes to sin.

You see there’s 2 ways we sin, and it’s important to identify which way we currently struggle with in order to overcome it.

So N0.1 There’s sinning without the fear of God.

N0.2 Sinning with the fear of God.

Many people have a misconception of God’s feelings toward right and wrong. We were taught that God does not hate, or that for the most part we do not get punished by God for our disobedience. But let’s go to the bible to prove whether this is true or not.

One of the challenges you will encounter as a passionate believer in the Bible, especially when your beliefs challenge what most Christian churches believe such as the keeping of Gods laws or Bible history or high holy days and even pagan holidays, one thing that you can expect to experience for certain, is conflict in communication.

Discipline is one of the hardest skills to maintain in this life. Because first you have to obtain discipline through commitment and sacrifice, and then you. Have to maintain it.

Discipline is something we all lack, some more than others, and some not fully understanding that to live like christ the messiah, is to live by the bible through the skill of discipline in your life.

You are great lord, And I said: “I pray, LORD God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments, Nehemiah 1:5

- Hear the word

- Keep it

- Bear fruit

- With patience

Today we break down Luke 8:14-15 and discover what these verses really mean.
