Sin Unto Death: A Warning For Matured Believers by Adekemi01(f): 8:59am On May 03, 2020 |
SIN UNTO DEATH: A WARNING FOR MATURED BELIEVERS Before I proceed to what sins unto death are, I will like tell you about sins not unto death and the type of believer are liable to commit sins unto death. First of all, you need to bear it in mind that, It is only matured Christian that can commit sin unto death. “WHAT ARE SINS NOT UNTO DEATH?” There is a possibility of a babe in Christ who lacks knowledge and devoid in understanding of his/her liberty, being inconsistent. They are prone to make mistakes and do things that are wrong or commit sin ignorantly or by mistake but not willingly Dear reader, do you notice inconsistency in your walking with God? Don’t allow the devil to accuse you wrongly that you have committed sin unto death. This is the promise, “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 2:1. Therefore, shake yourself from the dust, repent and appropriate the grace of God in your life. However, every unconfessed and unrepentant sins are unto death if the sinner die in that condition. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23. “WHAT ARE SINS UNTO DEATH” As I said earlier, it is only matured Christians that can commit sin unto death. “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost. And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come. If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. Hebrews 10:26; 6:4-6. Note the stages here, 1. They have received the knowledge of the truth. Saved 2. They were once enlightened. “Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” They have been born again. Corinthians 12:3. 3. They have tasted of the heavenly gift. Baptized in the Holy Ghost. 4. They have tasted of powers of the world to come. Fully matured. You can see that they are not babes but matured. That is the very reason why when they fall away, it is difficult to bring them back, because there is nothing you want to say to convince them that they don’t know. Even as at this stage, they have not committed sin unto death, they can still be forgiven if they repent and trace their ways back to Calvary. When do you now know if someone has committed sin unto death?� Perpetual backsliding of such people without repentance when they fall away leads to sin unto death. “……. seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.” This people often become apostates. Sometimes, they begin to preach against what they formally believed and experienced. “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins”. We know, whosoever’s sin is not remitted will surely be tormented in hell fire. Sometimes, they also speak blasphemous words against the Holy Spirit which once convicted them of sins and saved them. This is referred to sin against the Holy Ghost, which cannot be forgiven, according to Matthew chapter 12 verse 31. This will be discussed later. Note: This case is very rare, I have never seen one but might have read about one. Maybe one in thousands. For other posts, visit my blog@ Http:/christiangymnastic. |
