What is the greatest sin in the kingdom?

in #steemchurch6 years ago

The greatest of sins is pride, for a variety of reasons (Psalm 59.12, Pr 8:13, 16.18, 29.23).
. In the first place, pride was the cause of Satan's sin the first time he disobeyed.
Pride says, "I can do better than God," and Satan thought he could rule the universe better than his creator! (Isaiah 12-14, Ezekiel 28.12-19).

Second, pride leads inevitably to the sin of rebellion. Lievar out full of pride our own plans puts us necessarily in conflict with God's plan.
. That is why the Bible says: "God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble" (James 4.6).

There is no way to remain neutral in the Kingdom. Either we are with Jesus or against him.

The proud ones immediately place themselves against Him, because they have not given up their lives, putting them at the service of their cause.

Finally, arrogance gives rise to feelings of self-sufficiency, making us unwilling to learn from God or from other people. Jesus said that we should convert and be like children (Matthew 18.3,4).

These are confident and capable of learning; they are always attentive to the teachings of the father.

But the proud one supposes that he knows everything and does not want to learn, while the blessings of the Kingdom are for those who implore them. If you do not ask, you do not receive.
The name of God reveals this truth. He is "I am who I am" (Exodus 3:14)

That I am?

The answer: The one that provides your need. I am healing, wisdom, sanctification, provision, victory and salvation.

His great power extends to all as a blank check. You just have to fill the space according to our need.

You can only truly experience God when you understand that you need Him.
. If we believe that we do not need anything, if we are totally self-sufficient, we do not leave room for God in our lives.

That is why pride deprives us of all the blessings of the Kingdom. Pride causes us to sin against God and against ourselves.

Sort:  

Pride, "Protect what God wants to destroy", "Strengthen what God wants to weaken", "Vivify what God wants to kill", "Give strength to sin"

Pride always comes before a fall.
