Lssom:Conversion from Sin
Lesson #1: Sin's Consequences and God's Grace
Introduction:
Sin came into the world as a result of the disobedience of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3). Since then, all
people become sinners when they too disobey God's law (Romans 3:23). Sin is a universal problem,
and the solution to the problem of sin constitutes the theme of the Bible.
The purpose of this study is to examine what the Scriptures teach about the nature of sin and about
God's plan to provide forgiveness of sins through the death of Jesus Christ.
As we study, we will ask personal application questions to help each of us evaluate whether or not we
personally are guilty of sin and whether or not we have been forgiven by the blood of Jesus. Please
give honest consideration to these questions throughout the studies.
1
I. Sin and Its Consequences
A. The Nature of Sin
What is sin, and how does a person become a sinner? Some churches teach that people inherit guilt
from Adam through their parents. They conclude that little babies are born guilty of sin. What does
Jesus teach in the Bible?
Sin is committed, not inherited.
>>> Please read 1 John 3:4. <<<
*1* What is sin? Answer: Sin is __________ .
*2* Is sin something a person: (a) commits (practices), or (b) inherits? Answer: ____.
>>> Please read Romans 6:16. <<<
*3* How do people become slaves (servants) of sin? Answer: They present themselves to
__________ sin.
>>> Please read John 8:34. <<<
*4* Who is a slave to sin? Answer: Whoever __________ sin is a slave of sin.
We may sin in word, deed, or thought, but our own conduct is what makes us sinners.
>>> Please read Ezekiel 18:20. <<<
*5* Who bears the guilt of a person's sins? Answer: The wickedness of the wicked will be upon
__________ .
*6* What sins are we guilty of? (a) just the ones we commit, (b) our father's, (c) Adam's, (d) all the
preceding. Answer: ____.
Note that Jesus was a descendant of Adam, born of woman (Luke 3:38; Galatians 4:4). He shared in
flesh and blood, being made in all things like us (Hebrews 2:14,17). If people inherit Adam's sin, then
Jesus must have been guilty of sin. Yet in Him there was no sin, because He did no sin (1 Peter 2:22;
2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 3:5; Hebrews 4:15). Jesus was made like us in all things but He did not
inherit guilt; therefore guilt is not inherited.
Sin is doing, practicing, committing things that are not in harmony with God's will. Guilt cannot be
inherited through our parents. None of Adam's descendants bear the guilt of his sin. Adam's sin is
upon Adam alone. If you are guilty of sin, it is because of what you have done.
[See also Mark 7:20−23; Romans 3:9−18,23; 1 Timothy 6:10; James 1:14,15; 2:10,11.]
Each person will be judged for his own life.
Each person's eternal destiny is determined by his/her own conduct. It is determined individually.
Each person is held accountable for what he did, not for what his ancestors did.

Prayer/Scripture for Life, Dr. James A. Lee

Dear God, Christ Jesus and The Holy Spirit of God in Christ Jesus, we pray for all people. Bless us all in Jesus Name.

Psalm 34 (New International Version)

Psalm 34
Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.
1 [a] I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

3 Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.

5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.

6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

9 Fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.

10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,

13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.

14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;

16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.

18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the LORD delivers him from them all;

20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.

21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

22 The LORD redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.

The Joy of Jesus is in the Struggle

Life presents itself in so many forms and fashions. We spend a great deal of time wondering what is going to happen next. Often when one reflects upon the lessons of the past we find that life is and has been a real struggle. We also learned that the Joy of Jesus is in the struggle itself.

How does one address the challenges of life keeping within the absolute Joy of Jesus? this question is central in the life of the believer. First we must use the tools that God has provided. The helmet of salvation. We must focus on Jesus. The call for righteousness, the waistband of truth, the feet of peace, the weapon of faith and finally The Word of God.

Sure we struggle. Jesus is the answer all to such problems. He will fight the good fight. He will walk on the water. God will suffer the pain with you. Just hold on to your faith. Jesus for beaten, crucified on the cross and raised to all power, honor and glory. Jesus will return to right all wrongs and they will be remembered no more.
we
glorify God all in Christ Jesus who is the only Joy we know.

Sermon: Our message today is one of power that is found in a name. Parents spend countless hours and days just to select the proper name of their child. Buildings and cities and everything known to man has a name. Yet their is a name above all names that one must know Thar can provide the absolute power of the universe. The question as to why this name opposed to other names is wide open for examine nation?

Currently, the general mood of society is one of despair. Jobs are tight and limited. Home are are being lost, children are being miss-educated and parents are at a lost. We need more power today than at anytime of our history. Our scripture states it best. Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Jesus is the name above all names in Heaven and Earth. God gave Him this name to save the world from sin. We all have sinned and fallen short of The Glory of God. Jesus addresses this vital issue head on. How is this so, one may ask? Jesus gave His life on the cross and shed His blood for the remission of sin. God raised Him on the third day with all power, honor and glory.

Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. We have a name so powerful that He heal the sick, raised the dead, turn water into wine and calmed the violent storm. We need Jesus day more than yesterday. We praise God today for the name and power in the name of Jesus. Call on Him when the times get hard. Share this name with those in need. We come to you in the name of Jesus and His absolute Joy in His Love for you. Please give to The Joy of Jesus today. May God Bless in every way. A-men.

GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
[By David.] The LORD is my light and my salvation. Who is there to fear? The LORD is my life's fortress. Who is there to be afraid of?

King James Bible
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

(a) Because he was assured of good success in all his dangers and that his salvation was surely laid up in God, he did not fear the tyranny of his enemies.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

PSALM 27

Ps 27:1-14. With a general strain of confidence, hope, and joy, especially in God's worship, in the midst of dangers, the Psalmist introduces prayer for divine help and guidance.

1. light-is a common figure for comfort.

strength-or, "stronghold"-affording security against all violence. The interrogations give greater vividness to the negation implied.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

27:1-6 The Lord, who is the believer's light, is the strength of his life; not only by whom, but in whom he lives and moves. In God let us strengthen ourselves. The gracious presence of God, his power, his promise, his readiness to hear prayer, the witness of his Spirit in the hearts of his people; these are the secret of his tabernacle, and in these the saints find cause for that holy security and peace of mind in which they dwell at ease. The psalmist prays for constant communion with God in holy ordinances. All God's children desire to dwell in their Father's house. Not to sojourn there as a wayfaring man, to tarry but for a night; or to dwell there for a time only, as the servant that abides not in the house for ever; but to dwell there all the days of their life, as children with a father. Do we hope that the praising of God will be the blessedness of our eternity? Surely then we ought to make it the business of our time. This he had at heart more than any thing. Whatever the Christian is as to this life, he considers the favour and service of God as the one thing needful. This he desires, prays for and seeks after, and in it he rejoices.



Exodus 15:2 "The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father's God, and I will extol Him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psalm 18:28 For You light my lamp; The LORD my God illumines my darkness.

Prayer: We pray that all people will walk in the light of The Lord. We pray for all people in need of hope. We pray Dear God for all those who need peace. We pray for all the children in need. We praise God and thank God for all things in Christ Jesus. We pray that people will find it in there hearts to give to The Joy of Jesus today, in Jesus name. A-men.
