WHAT IS THE PROBLEM TO YOU CHRISTIANS
AS PAUL ALSO A BIG PROBLEM
(Romans 7:15-20) [15]For that which I do I allow
not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
[16]If then I do that which I
would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
[17]Now then it is no more I that
do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
[18]For I know that in me (that
is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but
how to perform that which is good I find not.
[19]For the good that I would I do
not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.s
[20]Now if I do that I would not,
it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
* INTRODUCTION:
a. Paul admitted his problem on choosing the things he should being genuine
Christian but he cannot overcome because he in our text in
( Romans 7:18-20 ) [18]For I know that in me (that
is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but
how to perform that which is good I find not.
[19]For the good that I would I do
not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
[20]Now if I do that I would not,
it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
b. We all even we Christians already we in our sinful nature that to
watch very closely because our flesh is still in our sinful Adamic nature that
always Worldly and sinful things.
c. All of us are subject to choose sinful things instead of things holy
and things that pleasing to God.
( Colossians 1:10-11
) [10]That
ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every
good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
[11]Strengthened with all might,
according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with
joyfulness;
* SOME COMMON SIN THAT THE CHRISTIAN KNOW THAT IS RIGHT TO DO THEY ARE
DOING IT.
1. CHRISTIANS CHOOSE TO EQUALLY YOKE WITH UNBELIEVERS
EVEN GOD WARN THEM.
( II Corinthians
6:14 ) Be ye not
unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?
a. This is very common to many Christians they choose to have fellowship
with the Worldly things of the unbelievers even Paul warn as not equally with
unbelievers because what good we can benefit having with unrighteousness and
unbelievers friends of your Paul said.
( II Corinthians
6:14-15 ) [14]Be ye
not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?
[15]And what concord hath Christ
with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
[16]And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath
said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they
shall be my people.
[17]Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and
I will receive you,
[18]And will be a Father unto you,
and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2. CHRISTIANS MISS THE WORSHIP SERVICE EVEN THEY ARE
ALWAYS REMINDED NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLY IN THE CHURCH.
( Hebrews 10:25 ) Not forsaking the assembling of
ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so
much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
a. This is also a common problem with many Christians they always choose
to miss the assembling the Temple of God.
b. This is the very reason why we train our Children in the family and
in our Church to always remind them that Sunday is Lord’s and it is a holy day
to Christians.
( I Corinthians
16:1-2 ) [1]Now
concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches
of Galatia, even so do ye.
[2]Upon the first day of the week
let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there
be no gatherings when I come.
c. Jerusalem Church is our good model faithful worshipping God with
faithfulness.
( Acts 2:46-47 ) [46]And they, continuing daily
with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat
their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
[47]Praising God, and having
favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as
should be saved.
* King David is also our good model for worshipping God in His Temple
with excitement and faithfulness.
( Psalms 122:1 ) I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of the LORD. * Amen and Amen.
3. CHRISTIANS CHOOSE THE OLD MAN THEIR FORMER OF SINNING
THOUGH THEY ALREADY ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST IN THEIR LIFE.
( Ephesians 4:22-24
) [22]That
ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts;
[23]And be renewed in the spirit
of your mind;
[24]And that ye put on the new
man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
* Paul commanded the Christians to not to conform to this World.
( Romans 12:1-2 ) [1]I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
[2]And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
a. What kind of sinful action our former life during the time that we
not yet saved.
( Ephesians 4:17-32
) [17]This I
say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other
Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
[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:
[19]Who being past feeling have
given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with
greediness.
[20]But ye have not so learned
Christ;
[21]If so be that ye have heard
him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
[22]That ye put off concerning the
former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts;
[23]And be renewed in the spirit
of your mind;
[24]And that ye put on the new
man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
[25]Wherefore putting away lying,
speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
[26]Be ye angry, and sin not: let
not the sun go down upon your wrath:
[27]Neither give place to the
devil.
[28]Let him that stole steal no
more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is
good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
[29]Let no corrupt communication
proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that
it may minister grace unto the hearers.
[30]And grieve not the holy Spirit
of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
[31]Let all bitterness, and wrath,
and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all
malice:
[32]And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath
forgiven you.
b. Paul mentioned all these wicked and sinful things that Christians
still doing in their Christian life.
4. CHRISTIANS ARE SERIOUSLY WARN NOT TO MAKE FRIENDS THIS
WORLD BECAUSE WILL BE THEIR ENEMY.
( James 4:4 ) Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
a. The make friends with the is to equally yoke with the unbelievers as
mentioned already in our lesson and Paul commanded them to separate with them
God said.
2 Corinthians
6:16-18 [16]And
what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the
living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[17]Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and
I will receive you,
[18]And will be a Father unto you,
and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
b. To make friends with the World is love the World and enjoy our life
in the World.
* Like the bad example of Demas.
( II Timothy 4:10 ) [10]For Demas hath forsaken me,
having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to
Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
c. To not partake sinful work of darkness in this World.
Ephesians 5:11-14 [11]And have no fellowship with
the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
[12]For it is a shame even to
speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
[13]But all things that are
reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is
light.
[14]Wherefore he saith, Awake thou
that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
5. CHRISTIANS ARE CAMMANDED TO GLORIFY GOD IN OUR BODY
AND TO CHOOSE NOT TO LOVE THE WORLD.
( 1 Corinthians
6:19-20 ) [19]What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
[20]For ye are bought with a
price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
a. Always be ready to present our bodies a living sacrifice acceptable
unto God.
Romans 12:1-2 [1]I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
b. Always choose Christ to be the center of your heart and mind rooted
and grounded in love .
( Ephesians 3:17-21
) [17]That
Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in
love,
[18]May be able to comprehend with
all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
[19]And to know the love of
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness
of God.
[20]Now unto him that is able to
do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power
that worketh in us,
[21]Unto him be glory in the
church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
c. Always love God yet more and more in knowledge and judgment and
righteousness.
( Philippians 1:9-11
) [9]And
this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in
all judgment;
[10]That ye may approve things
that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of
Christ;
[11]Being filled with the fruits
of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
* God bless you all always *
