Lord's Day: Feb 23, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Topic: Sin Scripture: 1 John 3:4–6, Romans 5:1–6, 1 Corinthians 15:1–3, Romans 3:19–20, Romans 1:18–25, Romans 1:32, 1 John 1:8–9, 1 Thessalonians 5:22, Psalm 119:11 I. 1 John 3:4-6 4 Everyone who does sin also does lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested in order to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or has come to know Him. II. The Analogies of Scripture/Faith give us more insight into what sin is, and its relation to the Law of God Catechism for Young Children: A Baptist Revision, Q. 28. What is sin? A. Sin is any want [lack] of conformity unto, or transgression [breaking, violation] of the law of God. Q. 29. What is meant by want [lack] of conformity? A. Not being or doing what God requires. Q. 30. What is meant by transgression? A. Doing what God forbids. [Lawlessness] III. In order to know what sin is, we must know what the Law is Where then is the Law [of God] summarized [and comprehended]? A: The moral law is summarized in the Ten Commandments, which were delivered by the voice of God on Mount Sinai and written down by Him on two stone tablets.[1] The first four commandments establish our obligations to God and the remaining six our obligations to human beings.[2] [1] Dt 4:13, 10:4; Ex 34:1-4; Ro 13:8-10; Ja 2:8-12 [2] Mt 22:37-40, 19:17-19 (Q91 of The Baptist Larger Catechism) Q92: What is the sum of the Ten Commandments? A: The sum of the 1st four commandments containing our duty to God is, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our strength, and with all our mind.[1] The sum of the six commandments which contain our duty to man is, to love our neighbor as ourselves,[2] and to do to others what we would have them to do to us.[3] [1] Lk 10:27; Mt 22:37-40 [2] Mt 22:39 [3] Mt 7:12 IV. What then is the remedy for this sin, this violation of God’s Law, which condemns all of us? How should we then deal with our sin? We must first know ourselves and our sin truly, we must know God truly, and what He has truly done for us. We need to see our sin: “The first part of Christ’s physic [remedy for sin] is eye-salve (Acts 26:18) [sight of sin]. It is the great thing noted in the prodigal’s repentance: ‘he came to himself’ (Luke 15:17). He saw himself a sinner and nothing but a sinner. Before a man can come to Christ he must first come to himself [and to his sin]. Solomon, in his description of repentance, considers this as the first ingredient: ‘if they shall bethink themselves’ (1 Kings 8:47). A man must first recognize and consider what his sin is, and know the plague of his heart before he can be duly humbled for it. The first creature God made was light. So the first thing in a penitent is illumination [sight, knowledge]: ‘Now ye are light in the Lord’ (Eph. 5:8). The eye is made both for seeing and weeping. Sin must first be seen before it can be wept for.”[1] “In the new birth all have pangs, but some have sharper pangs than others.” Even though we still sin as believers, God has given us His Spirit and His saving and sanctifying means of grace and of deliverance to deal with our sin now, after we’re saved, beginning with the law and the gospel. Six S’s: Scripture; Sound Doctrine (law/gospel); Sacraments; Self-awareness/Denial; Sage counsel; Spiritual Warfare We also avoid sin and deal with it in part by the light that marks true believers, the lifestyle (peripateo, our habits)—summarized as CAWFS: C is for Confessing our sin (1 John 1:9); Abstaining from sin (denying our flesh); Walking in the light; Fellowshipping with God and His people; Striving for obedience Sanctification is twofold: “It is the work of God's free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God, and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto righteousness.” (Q38, Baptist Catechism) We meet on Sundays for worship at 10:00am: ThornCrown Covenant Baptist Church4712 Montana AveEl Paso, Texas 79903 Contact us at: web: ThornCrownCovenant.Churchcall/text: (915) 843-8088email: ThornCrownCovenantBChurch@gmail.com Scripture quotations taken from the (LSB®) Legacy Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
