Dec 14, 2023 · When we cannot do something in good conscience, we must not do it at all, for whatever is not of faith is sin, or, as the Amplified Bible expounds, “whatever is done with doubt is sinful” (Romans 14:23). Eating meat is not sinful. In fact, “all food is clean” (Romans 14:20). The issue of eating or not eating certain foods is a ...

In the Bible, the word sin – whether it is in the Hebrew or the Greek – actually means to miss the mark. The reason this definition is so important is because it points to two things. First, there is a target we are aiming at, and second it speaks to our intention. Once we know there is a target, then we can choose to hit it or to miss it. The targ...
As I said before, sin is not something that should be taken lightly, and the Bible speaks a lot about sin. Here are some verses that speak to the nature of sin.
When you think about what sin is, you must recognize that sin looks to dominate a person’s life. Sin doesn’t come in to be nice, sin comes in to take control. Sin is a relentless master that looks to steer and direct every aspect of a person’s life. Before you got saved, whether you realized it or not, you were dominated and controlled by sin. Don’...
There is a truth about sin that we often don’t want to admit – sin is destructive. Sin destroys families, it destroys relationships, it destroys careers, it destroys ministries. If you allow it to linger, it will destroy everything in its path. This is why sin is so dangerous. There are so many examples from the Bible that show the devastation that...
Perhaps the most serious aspect of sin is that it is the only thing that separates us from God. Because God is holy, sin cannot dwell in his presence. Thus it is the reason why it separates us from him. Romans 8talks about what can separate us from the love of God. The argument Paul was making is that there is nothing and no one that could ever sep...
Thankfully, we have two gauges in our lives to help us define and know what sin is. The first gauge is the word of God, and the second is the Spirit of God. God’s word is clear in defining things that are black and white and are sinful without any question or room for debate. For example, you don’t have to ask if sexual relations with someone other...
The first thing you must be clear on is that all sin is bad. James 2:10says “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” What we sometimes fail to realize is that while all sin is bad and destructive, some sins have a higher price tag attached to them than others. This means the consequences ...

- Genesis 4:4-7. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.
The second implication of Romans 14:23 is that we cannot view sin any more merely as breaking the ten commandments or transgressing a list of dos and don'ts. "Everything that is not from faith is sin." Coming to church may be sin, staying home may be sin. Eating steak may be sin and not eating steak may be sin.

22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. Read full chapter
