WHAT
SIN CAN OFFER?
Though to
some this title may seem incorrect, but it is not, as a reader, one may simply
think that the writer will simply put it as “what sin cannot offer”, but the
major purpose of writing on this topic is to make known to all who wish to know
some offers of sin. According to the book of Proverbs 1:10, my son, if sinners
entice thee, consent thou not. Going by the word used in this passage, it could
be discovered from this passage that it is possible that there are some
pleasures in sin, with which one could be enticed. Therefore, there are some
things that sin itself can offer, to those who choose sin, sincerely, there are
certain things that sin can offer which you wish to know.
Since it is no longer a secret that
sin is the most accepted commodity in the world today, what is this sin itself,
simply put, sin is any unrighteousness, 1st John 5:17 informs us
that “all unrighteousness is sin, sin can also be simply said to be any
disobedience act to the Lord. However, what has make sin widely accepted is
some of the features of sin that seems to be an advantage, there are so many
advantage that a sinner derive from his or her sinful ways, there are various
pleasures that sinners see as gain, some of the things that is counted as gain,
Apostle Paul spoke concerning some things which though were good yet he had
detest them, Philippians 3:7-8, But what things were gain to me, those I
counted but loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for
the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have
suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win
Christ. This particular portion of the scripture informs us that there are some
things which were good as option but were not so expedient for him, he was
telling us some things that sin can offer him yet which he had counted but loss,
he was giving us the idea of how sin seems to be pleasing and appealing, if you
want to know some so called pleasures of sin, you can beckon on those who have
stolen what does not belong to them something precious to someone, either they
already have it or not, here we have people who if peradventure they have got such
a thing before, they will tell you they now have two, but if they do not have
such a thing before, they will inform you that they now have the particular
thing, can we say that is not a good offer from sin? Not only this, you can
also walk crosswise to a prostitute who will also tell you how she have
acquired her wealth through her profitable prostitution, are these and many
more not part of the many profit that sin too can offer? But are these only
those things that the sin can as well offer? If No, then what other things?
We
learn from the scripture that the wages of sin is death and that the gift of
God eternal life through Christ Jesus our lord. However, can we conclude we
have not got the outcome of sin? This is to tell us that sin do not only offer
things that a pleasure alone, sin do not make you rich, it is far beyond that,
sin do not only make one more influential, these is also well out of it, we
must know that Sin also offers death,
May the good lord help us to stand out of sin
as a good soldier of the most high God, finally the lord is vigorously
searching out for his end-time soldiers and i gladly tell you that you are not
left out, you can be enlisted into God’s army, Are you ready? He is waiting,
come to Him.
