How serious is sin in God’s sight?
“For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the Lord thy God.” Deuteronomy 25:16
“The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.” Psalm 11:5
Thus we see that sin is hateful to God.
SIN SEPARATES FROM GOD
“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. Psalm 66:18
“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:1-2
WOE TO THOSE WHO DOWNPLAY SIN AND THOSE LIVING IN SIN
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20
“Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life.” Ezekiel 13:22
“Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?” Malachi 2:17
WOE TO THOSE WHO APPROVE OF THE DISREGARDING OF GOD’S LAWS
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:17,19
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20
