We all are acquainted with some of the following words in some form or another:
- Habit
- Compulsions
- Weakness
- Addiction
- Style
- Way
- Tendency
- Tradition
- Routine
- Practice
Has anyone been apart of or seen these words in action in your life or others? In times past, all of us have tried to understand or maybe explain away individuals who we know or have met in our lives. Due to the way their lifestyles were irrational or seemed to be repugnant (extremely distasteful and unacceptable) that appear in ways to be unstable and unfounded.
If you can understand this, sin is a learned behavior and has an architectural pattern. The list above will gradually lead you into bandages know as sins. Sin is an immoral act against the divine law the of the only true living God of the Bible. Once sin has invaded the mind, it encapsulate the whole body. In other words, sin just doesn’t stay in your mind it causes all parts of you body to desire a sinful nature at all times. Once sin has invaded you whole body, your soul which is the real you will start to be contaminated, thereby causing you to be separated from the Creator, the only wise, loving true God [Yahweh] over any other gods. Sin always starts out as a small, little, insignificant event and if it is not controlled and you fail to understand how major of a event that little event is, to ignore or brush it aside will have great significance later on in your life.
Know this, that patterns need to be fed and require complete compliance and adherence to it’s architectural structure. That why drugs aren’t addictive, but rather it’s the adherence to the pattern with help from emotions and expectation of gratification that is the addiction. So if you see yourself falling into a pattern over something or someone, you really need to pause a moment, observe and evaluate your actions, then drop to your knees and begin to pray.
Let’s see what the Bible has to say about this:
Read Ephesians 5:1-33
Also in the book of Proverbs 16:27-30
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil:
and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife:
and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour,
and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things:
moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
1 John 2:15-18
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
