"Lawlessness: The Cause and the Cure"

“Lawlessness: The Cause and the Cure"

 

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.  You know that He appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.  No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen Him or known Him.                      1 John 3:4-6

(Jesus Christ), who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works.      Titus: 2:14

 

“The CAUSE for LAWLESSNESS is SIN.  When a person has NOT given their HEART and LIFE to God, they are LIVING in SIN, and are PRACTICING LAWLESSNESS, although they may not be breaking any of MAN’S laws, they are BREAKING GOD’S LAWS.  Most people KNOW that Jesus came to earth to take away sins, and He is SINLESS, which means He has NO SIN in Him, and for that reason, the person who PRACTICES LAWLESSNESS or SINNING cannot ABIDE in CHRIST, until they are WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM their SINFUL, LAWLESS lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. 

 

This does NOT mean that those who HAVE given their HEART and LIFE to GOD is SINLESS, ONLY ONE has ever LIVED a SINLESS LIFE, and that being, JESUS CHRIST.  What it means is; that the TRUE BELIEVER, will struggle with the desires of the flesh, and may at some time fall to TEMPTATION, but the difference is, they DO NOT PRACTICE or CONTINUE to LIVE in it.  But they will TURN AWAY from it.  And CONFESS any SINS they may have fallen into.  They KNOW that they cannot have FELLOWSHIP with God or His Son, Jesus Christ, as long as there is SIN, LAWLESSNESS abiding in them.  God’s HOLY SPIRIT, who indwells the TRUE BELIEVER will CONVICT them, and LEAD them to REPENTANCE.  And their DEEPEST DESIRE is to PLEASE GOD, and LAWLESSNESS does NOT PLEASE Him. 

 

The CURE for LAWLESSNESS, is found in Titus 2:14, JESUS CHRIST, the SON of the LIVING GOD, is the CURE for the LAWLESSNESS of ALL mankind.  He GAVE HIMSELF to REDEEM us from ALL LAWLESSNESS, and to PURIFY a PEOPLE for His OWN POSSESSION, who are FAITHFUL and EAGER to do GOOD WORKS.  Without this CURE, you will SURELY DIE a SPIRITUAL DEATH, and end up SPENDING ALL of your ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPE.  Are you LIVING a LAWLESS LIFESTYLE, SINNING against God and His LAWS?

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to Him, then you are LIVING in LAWLESSNESS, and your DESTINY is HELL.  But God, in His INFINITE MERCY and AMAZING GRACE, is offering you the CURE for this FATAL SIN-SICKNESS.  All you MUST DO is TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that, Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  Then you MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And you MUST ACCEPT HIS gift of SALVATION and RECEIVE the CURE, and LIVE for ALL of ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do it NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
