I believe the worst sin in the world is PRIDE.
Pride is the reason why people reject the Word of God. This is because everyone believes in something and you reject the Word of God because you feel that what you believe in is better.
Pride is the reason for SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is actually a first class ticket to hell.
Pride may be the reason u are not asking/receiving God's forgiveness even though the Bible said that HIS MERCIES R NEW EVERY MORNING.
Most of the people that sinned and were punished in the Bible did not ask God for forgiveness..e.g., Adam & Eve, Judas Iscariot, the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Research on the word Pride and see why God resists the proud but gives more grace to the humble..James 4:6.
Lord, pls remove every shred of pride in me, thank You for teaching me how to continually humble myself before you in Jesus name...Amen.
Lord, pls search me and help me get rid of all traces of pride within me.
ReplyDeleteAmen to your prayers...,may God grant you your request in Jesus name.
DeleteBanquet, no, pride is not the worst sin. Pride and self righteousness are the worst sins that can secure one first class ticket to hell. You can support your citings with Bible quotation. We have a lot of sins and sin is sin. With one dirty sin in ones live, it may deny the person the ticket to heaven. So abiding in the word of God all the days of our lives should be the watch word

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I try not to put lot's of Bible quotations here because I do not want to bore my readers with long epistles. That's what the church is for :)
You see, God is no longer jugding the man based on his sins. No-one should go to hell because of sin. Sin has been dealt with by Jesus Himself.
2nd Corinthians chapter 5 verse 19 NLT says ........."For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation."
Also, Romans Chapter 10 verse 4 says,..."But Christ makes the Law no longer necessary[a] for those who become acceptable to God by faith."
Galatians 5 verse 4 says, ......For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace."
You see the gospel is called the GOOD NEWS because of what Jesus did. Jesus came and died for our sins, then God raised Him from the dead for our justification. When we confess Jesus as Lord..all our sins are forgiven, past, present and future. And contrary to what people think, when you receive God's righteousness, God gives you his nature and his grace which enables you NOT to sin.
Pride is the reason why people find it difficult to accept the simple teachings of the gospel. They wld rather hold unto what they have previously believed even if it's wrong.
We are no longer under law, but under grace. That is why we are preaching the gospel everywhere, telling people that God does not care about your sins, your sins cannot take you to hell. (Romans 10 verse 9-10 NLT says,...If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved) Jesus paid the price of sin for you. What will take one to hell is 'Unbelief' which is synonymous with 'Pride'
u r loaded.
