Agenda Rom 8:16 2Pet 1:9 I Cor 9:24 What is Sin? Pattern of the Israelites Cycle of Sin Development of Sin Overcoming Sin! Why do we choose to sin rather than choose what we know God wants us to do? Four answers are commonly given today. 1. Some point to Romans 8:16 and explain that Christians who willfully sin have forgotten their true identity as "children of God." While it is true that Christians can forget who they are and sin as a result, Christians can also be well aware of who they are and sin anyway. 2. Some choose to sin because they have lost sight of what God has done for them. 2 Peter 1:9 indicates that Christians can be "blind or short-sighted, having forgotten [their] purification from [their] former sins." 3. Some wisely state that Christians consciously choose to sin because they have forgotten that God will severely discipline disobedient believers. 4. Some have said that Christians who consciously sin have lost their focus on the future. These Christians have forgotten that God will reward in heaven only those who have lived faithfully for Him here on earth (1 Cor 9:24). Christians who fail to keep eternity in mind often sin in the here and now. Rom 8:16 2Pet 1:9 I Cor 9:24
