“Go and Sin No More”
Text: Mark 9:42-50
Thesis: “Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against God.”
(Psalms 119:11)
“If anyone causes one of these littles ones who believe in me to sin…”
(There are a number of words used in the original Greek New Testament which are translated “sin” or “sins”. These are “hamartia”, “hamartema” and “hamartano”. In the original Greek New Testament, the most common word translated as “sin” or “sins”)
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.” (James 4:17)
* “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet he did not sin.” (Hebrews 4:15)
* When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” (James 1:13-15)
“In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.” (Hebrews 9:22 NLT)
“Without freewill we neither deserve punishment or earned reward.” unknown
III. Be salt to those around you, that they may be preserved from the destruction of sin.
“"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” (Matthew 5:13)
