•Firstly, we take sin seriously because we understand that God hates sin. "You, Lord, have loved righteousness and hated iniquity" (Psalms 45:6-7, Hebrews 1:8-9). Imagine a person whose life and nature was characterised by any five of this list of sins: adultery, murder, blasphemy, profanity, pride, idolatry, sorcery, drunkeness, envy, jealousy, he...
•Secondly, we take sin seriously because of the consequences of sin. The wages of sin is everlasting death (Romans 6:23). Jesus will say in judgment: "Depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire" (Matthew 25:41,46). Nobody will ever say anything more serious than that. Consider the enormous number to whom Jesus will utter those words (Romans 3:...
•Thirdly, we take sin seriously because it caused the death of Jesus. Fortunately God has made a way by which anyone can escape eternal death. One might say, "Oh good!

- He doesn't justify himself. David vindicates God, not himself. There is no self-justification. No defense. No escape. Verse 4: …so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.
- He intensifies his guilt by drawing attention to his inborn corruption. Verse 5: Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Jul 25, 2008 · We must never assume that our sin is the Lord’s fault because He allows it; sinners alone are culpable for their evil decisions (Acts 2:23). Coram Deo Dr. John MacArthur echoes Jesus’ somber warning in Matthew 5:29: “Sin must be dealt with drastically because of its deadly effects” (The MacArthur Bible Commentary, p. 1,131).
Feb 2, 2015 · Knowledge of God is repulsive to sin. So, Paul says, when this knowledge is suppressed, we have no excuse. Why? Verses 20–21: “So they are without excuse.
