GOD created His 'imaged' children with bodies perfect and full of Goodness (a positive energy full of GODliness).
Sin is a negative energy. The more negative energy (sin) the physical body and spirit of an individual does consume or absorb, the more dysfunctional and broken the body does become. The more negative energy (sin) introduced within the environment/surroundings of individuals, the more dysfunctional and broken the environment/surroundings of individuals does become! This sinful nature continues to grow and fester throughout generations, if not stopped!
When a spirit of an individual becomes corrupted with sin, so does the physical body become subject to corruption!
If the inner-spirit of individuals are not established with a positive enough foundation to allow the physical body to disregard those things which can reduce the physical bodies ability to suitably function and interact with its surroundings, the physical body will become then subject to physical ailments and even die. Individuals will then be in need of a 'new body'!
Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
1 Corinthians 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Sin did not always exists in the universe. All living life in the universe ran very smoothly in those earliest of times. The angels worked closely with GOD seeing to all the needs of all GOD's creations of living life upon the various planets which GOD had created it upon. All living life upon those planets in the earlier times did prosper at an unbelievably and extremely fast rate!
Wayward individuals infected by sin seek to view sin as being some by-product of 'trial and error' within the vast array of evolving positive and negative forces that are naturally occurring!
Such individuals also ignore that 'trial and error' can only come into being if there is a great enough positive and negative force to allow 'trial and error' to first come into being! Which since sin is a negative force of reality that came from the Greater positive existence that was needed to allow sin to come into being, 'trial and error' does need sin to come into play first before 'trial and error' can even become initiated.
Sin did become first introduced within GOD's universe by the angel known as Satan!
Sin is made-up of ungodly moral and social content!
Sin is deadly disease that does spread rampantly and none can escape. Some may self-righteously think they are better than others because of outward appearance (living by sight) but we have all been soiled by sin.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD;
Sin does have a domino effect. It does not just effect the partaker! Mankind does physically suffer the effects of iniquities for generations! Iniquity physically always has its price and end-results which always bear negative physical and social fruits for individuals, as well as their immediate and future surroundings.
For every ungodly action taken, there is also a natural recompense of reaction that also must occur!
Prosperity of living life does slow down upon planetary societies that fall prey to sin. Sin does gravely taint and distort the successful livelihood and direction of, for, and in the overall existence of mankind. Individuals infected by sin are able to know of the abilities & power of temporary levels of progress concerning their short-term planetary existence, but are unable to define the vital measure of GODly knowledge that truly supports behavior, conduct, or mannerism necessary for long-term survival of living existence in the universe!
Nevertheless wayward planetary individuals are not stopped, or disallowed by GOD from attaining some degree of progress. Wayward individuals do set their own progress by how much sin they do allow!
The prosperity that wayward individuals do attain is interwoven with sin, which makes it broken and destructive!
Wayward individuals infected by sin do not sight that the sin that they do use to accord the gain of knowledge is also used as a (sinful) standard by which to govern the direction of that knowledge or intellect with!
Wayward individuals are unable to realize that Satan does most cunningly seek to use prosperity as a vehicle and weapon by which they do virtually bring upon themselves demise & destruction!
Wayward individuals become led by Satan to begin viewing the prosperity they attain as a god!
Wayward individuals infected by sin do not realize that all knowledge has form and holds direction! It is the direction taken that differentiates the true success of that knowledge and direction!
Thus when wayward individuals do allow themselves to become blinded unto GOD Himself, so too do they become blind unto GOD's GODliness.....true Goodness!!!
Sin does limit existence! Wayward individuals infected by sin do not realize that when sin is undertaken in any form, so too does it in one fashion or another modify and alter the things which they learn within their own natural course of development & direction! Especially concerning those things that were initially given to them by GOD Himself that allowed them to naturally attain long-term survival (eternal living life) in the universe!
Sin will always blind, whether it is a believer or not. Partaking in sin does cause one to block out and/or distort the Wisdom, Power, & Knowledge of GOD which will result in wrong application of logic/reason to choice that will affect their long-term survival. The blinded person then does start agreeing with the sin around them, and will begin to rationalize their actions in some manner to condone or justify their sinful choices.
Sin does blind individuals to evil and its failures!
Sin does blind individuals to the need for GOD or GOD's help!
Sin does blind individuals to true Goodness that brings forth success!
Sin does blind individuals to the reality of sin itself, and its destruction!
Sin does blind individuals to their own demise and destruction that sin does cause!
Sin does blind individuals to the subtle thief that sin is!
Sin is very deceitful! Sin promises what it cannot deliver. It promises pleasure, contentment, fulfillment, & life, but its delivery on these things is temporary and ultimately unsatisfying. Its deceitfulness is the very reason why it has addictive qualities. It lures individuals on to try to capture what it can never deliver.
The pleasure within sin is never quite enough to produce the contentment and fulfillment one desires. Thus, people are forced into greater and deeper perversions until it results in death. All along the way, from its beginning to death, sin quietly produces hardness of heart. Like a callus that forms over a break in a bone or stiffens a person's joints, sin paralyzes correct choice and right action.
John 8:34 Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Sin produces slavery! This product follows directly from the destruction of will. When a person sins, he is not really doing what he likes, but what sin likes! Even though one may enjoy the sin while he is doing it, the person is not in control...sin is!
Romans 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Sin does cause separation between GOD and His 'imaged' children.....always has and always will!
Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have *SEPARATED* between you and your GOD, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD;
Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of GOD through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Sin must die in you....not simply be restrained, suppressed, or counteracted, but crucified...just as JESUS CHRIST died for the sin of the world.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto GOD through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with CHRIST: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of GOD, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Just as sin had entered the world through the 'first' Adam, so too has GOD's Salvation enter the world through the 'last' Adam (JESUS CHRIST)! "It is finished"!
James 1:15 and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Individuals are not born sinners. They are born into a sinful world that brings death upon all individuals! A child cannot choose between the good or evil in the womb. A child cannot become accountable until they do choose to partake/act on the good or evil, and this cannot take place in the womb.
Isaiah 7:16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
Romans 9:11 For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of GOD according to election might stand, not of works, but of Him that calleth;
For one to believe that a child is born a sinner, one would also have to believe JESUS CHRIST being fully man was born a sinner. This is far from truth!
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of GOD in him.
1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Wayward individuals are unable to truly know & sight sin so they become blindly reliant upon sin to satisfy their own existence & being. Because of this blind reliance upon sin, wayward individuals become unable to attain the necessary tools needed by which they can save themselves from the impending demise & destruction that sin does bring forth. Because of this inability, wayward individuals become destroyed by the very sin that they do fall prey to.
Only GOD Himself is Holy, Pure, Righteous and Strong enough to deal with, or ward off the accords of the damage and destruction that sin does produce! Only God Himself has the abilities, capabilities, and tools to extinguish the damage and destruction that sin and it's wickedness does produce!
The price for sin is great! GOD does provide the 'Way' to visually sight the truth and severity of sin through His Physical death/crucifixion as JESUS CHRIST! GOD as JESUS CHRIST took our place unto death so we may continue to live!
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of GOD in him.
GOD as JESUS CHRIST paid the spiritual price for all sin, but the physical result of sin still remains....PHYSICAL DEATH!
Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Romans 5:8 But GOD commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
GOD does provide the 'Way' to overcome sin through His Physical Display and Example of His GODliness as JESUS CHRIST!
1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because CHRIST also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Sinners can become free from the bondage and destruction of sin by following fully and completely GOD's Physical Example of His GODliness as JESUS CHRIST!
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith CHRIST hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the **divine nature,** having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an **advocate** with the Father, JESUS CHRIST the righteous:
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? GOD forbid!
John 8:11 Go, and sin no more!
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD.
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of GOD, which liveth and abideth for ever.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in CHRIST, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of GOD. (KJV)
5:23 Meekness, temperance: (KJV)
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
(KJV)
SECOND DEATH IS DEATH OF THE SPIRIT & SOUL!!!
Second death does result in one's choice to remain broken and dysfunctional in ungodliness (sin & its waywardness), and not choosing to conform to GOD's GODliness for a successful eternal existence!!!
