“SIN AND OUR NEED”

LUKE 17:12-19

 

WHAT SIN DOES IN OUR LIFE.  V. 12

Sin destroys and divides.

Isaiah 59:2-But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Sin numbs us to the truth.

Sin leaves us as dead.

 

WHAT RELIGION DOES IN OUR LIFE.  v.12

Religion gives us a sense of direction.

Religion gives us a sense of security.

Religion does nothing for our spiritual need.

 

WHAT OUR NEED IS.

We have a need for true repentance.

Acts 3:19-Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

We have a need of true humility.

James 4:10-Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

We have a need to cry out to Jesus in faith.

Hebrews 11:6-But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
