}It is not sin
conscious.
}Church we are all
ways grace conscious.
}But, nevertheless we
must look into areas that there might be sin.
}David prayed this
prayer
}Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and
know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
}CONFESSION &
CLEANSING
}
}Grace is guarding
your Christian walk.
}Romans
6:1-4
}New King James
Version (NKJV)
}Dead
to Sin, Alive to God
}6 What shall we
say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How
shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized
into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into
death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.

}DON’T BE DECEIVED.
}Deception means to
believe that something is right when it is wrong.
}The prophet Jeremiah
warned us how the easily the human heart is deceived.
}Jeremiah
17:9
}New King James
Version (NKJV)
}9 “The heart is
deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
}
}Is it Possible for
anyone to be deceived –even a Christian?
}Yes. There are many
Christians still saying that under grace God will forgive if I still continue
to sin. And they are continuing to sin.
} 1 John 1:8,9
}8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and
the truth is not in us. 9 If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
}Three Areas for
Deception.
1.Thinking we have no
sin – and thus do not need God’s forgiveness.
2.Thinking that we
don’t need to confess- that if we do sin, we aren’t required to do anything
about it; that God will either overlook it, or forgive us even if we don’t face
it or tell Him about it.
3.Thinking we won’t be
forgiven- that God will not really forgive us even when we do confess our sin.
}LADY CAUGHT IN ADULTERY.
}John
8:1-11
}New King James
Version (NKJV)
}8 But Jesus went
to the Mount of Olives.
}2 Now early[a] in the morning He
came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and
taught them. 3 Then the
scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they
had set her in the midst, 4 they said
to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught[b] in adultery, in the
very act. 5 Now
Moses, in the law, commanded[c] us that such should
be stoned.[d] But what do You
say?”[e] 6 This they said,
testing Him, that they might have something of which
to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.[f]
}7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up[g] and said to them,
“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped
down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then
those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience,[h] went out one by one,
beginning with the oldest even to the last. And
Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised
Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her,[i] “Woman, where are
those accusers of yours?[j] Has no one condemned
you?”
}11 She said, “No one, Lord.”
}
}WHAT WAS THE STRENGTH
HERE NOT TO SIN?
1.NO CODEMNATION
2.ACKNOWLOGEING JESUS
AS LORD.
3.THAN THE POWER NOT TO
SIN IS GIVEN BY JESUS.
4.REPENTANCE.
5.GRACE WAS GIVEN.
}DECEPTION SPOILS
FELLOWSHIP
1.Those who believe
they never sin at all will keep having problems caused by their sin. But they
won’t know why they have the problems- or why their lives are in constant
turmoil.
2.Those who sin but do
not repent or confess their sin to God- thinking He will forgive them can
become hard of heart.
}Hebrews
3:13
}New King James
Version (NKJV)
}13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called
“Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
}BE SENSITIVE TO THE
HOLY SPIRIT.
}We should ask God
daily to make us very sensitive to His Holy Spirit to warn us when we are in
danger.
}He will let us know
very quickly if we sin against His love or truth.
}We will receive more
than just comfort we will receive His wise instruction and direction.
}
}
}REPENTANCE BUILDS
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
}MATTHEW 3 :7 &8
}7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees
coming for baptism, he said to them, You brood of vipers! Who warned you to
flee and escape from the
wrath and indignation [of God
against disobedience] that is coming?
}8 Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance
[let your lives prove your change of heart)
}
}YOU ARE GOD’S SONS
AND DAUGHTERS.
}Since you are His
sons and daughters
}He cares for you.
}He loves you.
}He intercedes for
you.
}He is not sin
conscious but grace conscious.
}He want you to be
free.
}He do not want you to
worry.( worry is sin)
}YOU ARE SET FREE
}John
8:36
}If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
}Sin is no more your
master.
}You are special.
}Just say to God I am
sorry.
}He hears you.
}He loves you
}God bless you.
