Moving Against God

Is man powerful enough to move against God? Before you answer that question consider the story of the first man and woman in the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve. They moved against God when they contravened his order.

God set a boundary and they crossed it. That's what sin is about. Any sin committed is moving against God.

3 Definitions Of Sin

1. Sin is going beyond a limit or a set boundary.

2. Sin means all unrighteousness. (I John 5:17)

3. Knowing good and not doing it is sin.


6 Shocking Damages Sin Does

1. It destroys man's fellowship relationship with God. That's why Adam and Eve ran for cover when they heard the voice of God. Before sin, they had enjoyed cordial relationship with God. Prophet Isiah also says, 'Your sins has separated between you and your God'.

2. It instills undue fear in man for his creator. When sin enters, peace exits the door.

3. It destroys God's plan for man.

4. It sends man out of God's grace into problem.

5. It reduces man to nothing.

6. It exposes man's secrets.

5 Ways To Overcome Sin

1. Guard your heart for out of it are the issues of life.

2. Keep God's word in your heart. (Ps. 119:11)

3. Run away from all appearances of evil (1 Thess. 5:22)

4. Continue to live in Jesus. (1 John 3:6)

5. Receive grace to liver over sin.

Do you still want to move against God or reconcile with him? Now is the time of salvation. Tomorrow may be too late.
