I'll tell you why…. because
the devil currently rules this world.
Each time you sin it separates you further from God. This put's you exactly where the devil want's you, alone and vulnerable, so that he may devour you and take away your free gift of eternal life in God’s kingdom.
Slowly and insidiously over many millennia the devil has, one by one, introduced and normalised a multitude of sins through his various lies and manipulations.
This has been now been rapidly accelerating in the last 2000 years and even more so in recent history. Below is a list of the 10 commandments for those who are not well versed in the law of God, these define what sin is and are a reflection of God’s eternal character:
Sin can also be extended to be anything that you knowingly do that is bad:
God says that all who sin are of the devil and those who are born of God cannot sin. This is why being reborn through baptism is so important once you have decided to choose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and began the journey of repenting from all sin with Jesus as your High Priest and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Here's a short list of sins that currently dominate our world which most people wouldn’t even think twice about (this is by no means an exhaustive list; I could go on and on):
1. Using God’s name in vain (breaking commandment 3)
Examples include: “Oh my God!”, “Jesus Christ!”, “God damn it!”, “Good Lord”, “Sweet baby Jesus!”, “Christ!” … you get the picture. This one is extremely common because:
- Most people are unaware that this is a sin
- Almost every Hollywood movie, every tv presenter, news anchor, radio host etc. uses God’s name in vain constantly. Pay attention to it next time you watch a movie on Netflix. It has been drummed into your head from a very young age. Why?
- Most of your friends/family and even you probably use it a lot in general conversation.This one is also an interesting one to meditate on for non-believers. Ask yourself: Why am I constantly using God’s name in vain in general conversation when I outwardly profess that I don’t believe in God? Could it be that part of me deep down knows he exists but is in denial?
2. Sexual immorality and Adultery (Breaking commandment 7)
- You have millions of hours of high-quality, free porn at your fingertips. The vast majority of all internet traffic is from porn. Why is it free? Why is there so much of it?
- Sex before marriage is normalised in society, even in schools from a very young age.
- Homosexuality is not only encouraged but celebrated in society. “Gay pride”.- Prostitution is normalised in society.- Cheating women and less often men are celebrated in the mainstream news and media.
3. Sun worship and worship of false God’s (Breaking commandment 1):
It is a well known fact that 33rd degree freemasons worship “lucifer the lightbearer” (the devil’s name in heaven before God renamed him satan/the devil). There is a masonic temple in pretty much every suburb in every country in the world. Why?
Why did many old societies worship God’s of the sun e.g. Apollo, Ra, Mithras, Baal etc?
Today, why are 95%+ of celebrities, government officials and elite society Freemason’s?
Here’s a masonic temple in Port Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia:
4. Use of idols and carved images in false Christian “denominations” and other religions (Breaking commandment 2):Famous examples include..:
The cross (carved image) and statues of Jesus (idol):
There are many more sins like these perverting our society.
Why is this normalised?
Especially in some denominations of the “Christian” church?
I’ll let you meditate on that.
However, do not fear for those who seek to be free of their sins and to come to God.
There is still time for you all to confess your sins in prayer to God and repent and be baptised in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
I would encourage all believers and unbelievers alike who participate in these sins, to self-examine and try to understand why you do them. I used to be a prolific sinner myself.
Trust me when I say that repenting of my sins and forming a relationship with God has been the best decision I have ever made in my life. The Lord has even been gracious to work healing miracles on me!
Anyways I will leave it there. I hope this post open’s some of your eyes and ears. Thank you all for reading, love you all and may God bless you.
