Subject: What is the people sin? |
Bible Note: Dear Confusing, It is of the utmost importance that we deal with the question of WHAT IS rather than WHAT IF. Human wisdom is foolishness to an All-Wise God. 1 Cor 4:5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God 2 Pet 1:19 So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. Q. What are the decrees of God? A. The decrees of God are, his eternal purpose, according to the counsel of his will, whereby, for his own glory, he hath foreordained whatsoever comes to pass. Psalm 33:11. The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Isaiah 14:24. The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: Acts 2:23. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Ephesians 1:11-12. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. The Scripture answers the questions about WHAT IS. I urge you to ask God for the faith to believe. God alone is the source of faith. 2 Chr 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; Prov 11:2 When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom. May God Grant You Faith, John |
