The S Word(s)

Jesus saved your life. You choose to change it. 

 

SIN

 

Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death. -James‬ ‭1:14-15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up. -1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:23‬ ‭WEB‬‬

 

For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. -1 John‬ ‭2:16-17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

Jesus raised up again and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one judged you guilty?” She answered, “No one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “I also don’t judge you guilty. You may go now, but don’t sin anymore.” ‭‭-John‬ ‭8:10-11‬ ‭NCV‬‬

 

Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. -Acts ‭3:19-20‬ ‭NLT‬

 

SELFISHNESS 

 

And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.” -Matthew‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.  -James‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others. -Philippians‬ ‭2:3-4‬ ‭NCV‬‬

 

SHAME

 

But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. -‭‭Psalm‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

 

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. -Romans‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

 

As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” -Romans‬ ‭10:11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

The Lord says, “Come, let us talk about these things. Though your sins are like scarlet, they can be as white as snow. Though your sins are deep red, they can be white like wool." ‭‭-Isaiah‬ ‭1:18‬ ‭NCV
