INTRODUCTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n A. Sin, is a word we are all familiar with, or, are we?<\/p>\n 1. Sin comes from hamartia and literally means “to miss the mark” – it is the idea of an archer missing the target<\/p>\n 2. Sin, though it is a small word, is a very terrible word<\/p>\n 3. Sin is terrible because it separates man from God<\/p>\n a. Isaiah 59:1-2<\/p>\n b. Consider also – 1 John 1:6<\/p>\n B. Many in the religious world today try to talk as little about sin as they think they can get away with.<\/p>\n 1. We are seeing the deteriorating results of this terrible philosophy in our world today<\/p>\n 2. People do not know a lot about sin, so out of ignorance or indifference they commit sin<\/p>\n C. We need to study sin seriously because of its frequent use and its soul damning effect<\/p>\n 1. The origin of sin is where we will begin our study<\/p>\n 3. We will divide the study of the origin of sin in three parts:<\/p>\n a. The pre-Eden origin of sin<\/p>\n b. The origin of sin on earth<\/p>\n c. The origin of sin within the individual<\/p>\n DISCUSSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Though sin began on earth in the garden of Eden (Gen. 3), it is obvious that this is not the original beginning of sin and evil; for, the very presence of Satan in Eden proves this fact.<\/p>\n a. Thus, in dealing with the original beginning of sin, we must deal with the origin of Satan.<\/p>\n b. We cannot know everything about the origin of Satan, but there is information on the subject that God has revealed to us that we need to study.<\/p>\n 2. Satan apparently was originally a holy angel in heaven, but sinned<\/p>\n a. To say that Satan was created as Satan, as the devil, reflects on the holiness of God<\/p>\n 1) It would make God the creator of sin<\/p>\n 2) “God saw everything that he had made and it was good” (Gen. 1:31)<\/p>\n b. Satan must have been an angel, since he was neither God (as evidenced by his subordination to God) nor man (as evidenced by his power over man).<\/p>\n 3. Upon sinning, Satan was cast out of heaven<\/p>\n a. We need to remember that God dwells in holiness:<\/p>\n 1) “God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness” (Psa. 47:8)<\/p>\n 2) Revelation 21:27<\/p>\n b. Thus, Satan’s expulsion from heaven was inevitable and immediate upon his having sinned.<\/p>\n c. Other angelic creatures, having sinned, were cast down to hell<\/p>\n 1) “God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell” (2 Pt. 2:4)<\/p>\n 2) Jude 6<\/p>\n 4. What is the destiny of Satan and those of like kind?<\/p>\n a. They are lost<\/p>\n 1) Matthew 25:41<\/p>\n 2) Revelation 19:20<\/p>\n b. And apparently it seems they are beyond redemption<\/p>\n 1) “For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham” (Heb. 2:16)<\/p>\n 2) The Bible speaks of no scheme of redemption for Satan and his angels.<\/p>\n 1. Sin had its beginning on earth in Genesis 3<\/p>\n a. This is one reason the first book of the Bible is called “Genesis”<\/p>\n b. “Genesis” means beginnings<\/p>\n 2. Notice Satan’s diabolical and deceptive tactics on man in the garden of Eden<\/p>\n a. First, notice his timely approach<\/p>\n 1) He approached Eve when she was unsupported by her husband – Adam seems to be there but gave her no aid<\/p>\n 2) In like manner, Satan approached Christ at the perfect time as well (Mt. 4:1ff)<\/p>\n 3) Satan will do the same with us<\/p>\n b. Secondly, notice his insinuating question<\/p>\n 1) “Yea, hath God said …?” (Gen. 3:1)<\/p>\n 2) Satan was trying to generate doubt in the mind of Eve<\/p>\n 3) Satan throws doubt on the Divine Word<\/p>\n 4) Satan put a question mark where God put a period<\/p>\n 5) The same tactic is being used today<\/p>\n c. Thirdly, Satan implies unfair treatment<\/p>\n 1) It seems as if Satan said to Eve, “Surely God has not given you such an unfair restriction.”<\/p>\n 2) Today, Satan is having his way with us when he can convince us that in living the Christian life we are burdened, mistreated and deprived.<\/p>\n 3. Notice Satan’s three way approach<\/p>\n a. Satan uses three avenues through which to tempt man – 1 John 2:15-17<\/p>\n b. Genesis 3:6 In the case of Eve there was:<\/p>\n 1) The lust of the flesh – she saw that the tree was good for food<\/p>\n 2) The lust of the eye – the tree was pleasant to the eyes<\/p>\n 3) The pride of life – it was a tree to be desired to make one wise<\/p>\n c. The devil also tempted Jesus in these avenues in the wilderness (Mt. 4)<\/p>\n 4. There were three steps in man’s original fall<\/p>\n a. Man listened to a lie<\/p>\n b. Man believed a lie<\/p>\n c. Man obeyed a lie<\/p>\n 5. Why did man sin?<\/p>\n a. He desired freedom from divine restraint; he desired to be independent of God<\/p>\n b. This nature is seen in the parable of the prodigal son (Lk. 15:11-32)<\/p>\n 1. Sin does not originate in the individual through hereditary total depravity<\/p>\n a. Sin is not inherited, it comes as a result of a violation of God’s word – 1 John 3:4<\/p>\n b. Ezekiel 18:20<\/p>\n c. Matthew 18:1-4<\/p>\n 2. The origin of sin in the individual is described in James 1:13-15<\/p>\n a. There is first lust, then enticement, followed by temptation, resulting in sin, with spiritual death ultimately following<\/p>\n b. Each individual is the begetter of his own sin and the ancestor of his own demise.<\/p>\n 3. The teaching of James 1:13-15 is graphically illustrated in the case of the sin of Achan<\/p>\n a. Joshua 7:20-21<\/p>\n b. Achan saw, Achan coveted, Achan took and Achan died.<\/p>\n c. The same thing occurred in Eve’s case<\/p>\n 1) Eve saw, Eve coveted, Eve took and Eve died<\/p>\n 2) The same will happen to us today if we give in to the devil<\/p>\n CONCLUSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n A. We know how sin originates<\/p>\n B. We also know that by our own free will sin has originated in all of us who are of an accountable age (Rom. 3:23)<\/p>\n C. The Bible, though, teaches us how to relieve ourselves of the terrible consequences of sin …<\/p>\n Gleaned from Wendall Winkler<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sermon on the Origin of Sin INTRODUCTION: A.
