Whatever Happened To Sin? Part 2


There are many cultural myths about what God really says and doesn’t say about sin and human nature.
Myth #1 is that most people think they are pretty good.
Myth #2 is that all sins are the same.
You hear this all the time; “Who are you to judge me, what I'm doing is no worse than what you're doing. All sin is the same.”
Romans 6:23, "for the wages of sin is death…". Now don't miss this, all unforgiven sin leads to eternal death, period. Any type of sin, any type of unforgiven sin leads to death. What we need to understand is the Bible doesn't teach that all sin is the same.
The Apostle Paul says this about sexual sin. “Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18
He says run from sexual sin. Why, because no other sin so clearly affects the body as this one. In other words, there are different consequences to this sin than there would be to other ones. He says sexual immorality is a sin against your own body and your body was purchased by the shed blood of Jesus, so flee sexual sin.
Don't think it doesn’t matter what you do as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. God never said that.
