The Book of Romans - Part 35 - Sinful Beyond Measure
Let's open our Bibles to Romans 7:11-13.
God’s law reveals the holiness of His commandments and the utter sinfulness of sin so that we will hate our sin
God’s law reveals the holiness of His commandments
God’s law reveals sin as sinful beyond measure
Sin is rebellion against our loving and kind heavenly Father
Sin takes a good thing and uses it to kill us
Sin involves deliberate violation of God’s good and perfect will for us
Sin is sinful beyond measure because it uses deception to kill us
How Sin Deceives Us
Sin deceives us into thinking that outward obedience alone pleases God, whereas we need to please Him on the heart level
Sometimes sin changes its tactics and tells us that everything is hopeless, so we might as well keep sinning
Sin deceives us to presume on God’s grace
Sin deceives us into thinking that it will bring true and lasting happiness, while holiness will bring us misery
Sin deceives us into thinking that we have a right to happiness, while we forget that we have a responsibility to holiness
Sin deceives us by getting us to discount the consequences of willful disobedience
Sin deceives us into thinking that we’ve earned some free passes to sin because of all that we’ve done to serve the Lord
Sin deceives us by getting us to swap the labels and call it something much more acceptable
Sin deceives us by making us think that we’re normal when we sin and to think that holy people are weird
Sin deceives us by working by degrees, so that eventually that which would have shocked us is now accepted as normal
Sin deceives us by making us angry at the law, feeling that God is against us when He prohibits something
Sin deceives us by making us think very highly of ourselves
Sin deceives us by telling us that the law is oppressive, keeping us from developing the gifts and talents we have within us
Sin makes righteousness look drab and unattractive
Sin deceives us by getting us to compare ourselves with other sinners, rather than comparing ourselves to God’s holy standard
The practical result of understanding the holiness of God’s commands and that sin is sinful beyond measure is that we should hate our own sin
