John 8
2 At dawn he [Jesus] appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”
6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him…But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
7 When they kept on questioning him [Jesus], he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you…Jesus declared “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
SIN PROMISES
AT THE COST OF DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD AND EVENTUAL
Matthew 7
11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
“Because you are not designed for the things of this world, you are designed and destined to be in Heaven, and set apart.”
Psalms 16
11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
1) HOLINESS ISN’T MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE TO
1 Corinthians 10
13 And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
2) EVERY
IS AN INVITATION TO DEPEND ON JESUS
“If you rebuke the enemy and return to God by repenting of your sins and receiving Christ, your spirit will be reborn, your mind renewed, your life rebuilt. You will be reconciled by Christ’s redeeming work and reap the rewards of relationship causing revival to break free!”
