Hello Friends,
I talk a lot about sin and
the importance of avoiding it. When I do this, I will also include Bible verses
that support what I am saying. The reason I’m telling you this is because although
I may be including some verses in my text, maybe a few verses aren’t enough.
Sometimes we need more than just one reminder to help prevent us from working
against God by giving in to our flesh. Romans 6:23 says – “For the wages of sin
is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
There are thousands and
thousands of verses in the Bible that talk against sin and share the dangers of
the sins that we may be tempted with. If avoiding sin wasn’t important, then
God wouldn’t have made sure that nearly half of the Bible warns against sin
and/or encourages purity. Below are many Bible verses that I have recently read
that warn against sin and that encourage us to live a life for God.
Disclaimer - We all have flesh, thus causing us to sin. The reason Jesus died on
the cross was to pay for our sins so that we can be saved from the second
death. However, just because we are forgiven for our sins doesn’t mean we
should continue to commit them. We should make it an effort to avoid sin and to
become the best version of ourselves that we can be for Christ.
Psalm 1:1, Psalm 1:6,
James 4:4, 1 Corinthians 15:33, Colossians 3:2, Psalm 4:5, 1 Corinthians 5:11, 2
Corinthians 6:14, Galatians 5:19-21, Psalm 9:15, Proverbs 4:13, Proverbs
6:16-19, 1 Peter 2:11, 1 Timothy 3:6, and James 1:12.
Whenever you feel you’re
being tempted by your flesh to sin, please reference these verses, and you will
be reminded about the importance of avoiding sin and the importance of staying
pure for your father who is in heaven.
In Christ,
Noah Brewster
