EFFECTS OF SIN!

From the desk of Dr. Mary Tisdale Green
RECOVER ALL WEDNESDAY

What is sin: sin is a sickness, that it is a disease, that it is hereditary, that it is terminal yet it is only temporary. Did you know that we are born into this world sinners, that we inherited the sin nature of Adam .. This sin reigns in our bodies until it brings forth death.  Paul says in Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death.
We say that we will labor for forty hours a week for four hundred of pay. This is the wages we draw for what we have labored for. For the wages of sin is death. Death is what we have labored so hard for. This death is an eternal separation from God.

In Romans 5:12, the  Paul says, Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned.
God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. In Genesis 2:16-17, And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat. But the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. This law, God gave to Adam to keep, but Adam disobeyed God and took of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and so death came upon Adam and all those whom he represented, human race. How does a worm get inside an apple? Perhaps you think the worm burrows in from the outside. No, scientists have discovered that the worm comes from inside. But how does he get in there? Simple! An insect lays an egg in the apple blossom. Sometime later, the worm hatches in the heart of the apple, then eats his way out. Sin, like the worn, begins in the heart and works out through a person’s thoughts, words, and actions. How does a worm get inside an apple?

PRAYER: But God commended His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, God died for us. AMEN.
