| Whatever Is Not Of Faith Is Sin |
|
Romans 14:23 tells us simply that anything that is not of faith is sin. Faith comes from God. (James 1:17) Faith comes by hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17) It is possible to read the Bible and not hear the word of God. (2 Corinthians 3:14) We must remain connected to Christ. (John 15:5) We can become disconnected. (Colossians 2:19)
Everything that doesn't originate from God is sin. Proverbs 21:4 says, "An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin." Note that even the work that the wicked person does is sin. Whatever is not of faith is sin. Did you ever realize just how narrow that narrow way is? If God didn't ask you to do it and you do, then that is sin. God wants to be part of our every thought, word, and deed. He designed us for this. This is the only way that we can find our fulfillment. All else is sin. There are several types of sin, but they all come down to this. Satan does not care how far you are off or in what direction you are off. He just wants you to miss the target. You will miss the target with anything that you do by your own will and power. You will miss the target with anything that God did not ask you to think, say, or do--God must lead. You will miss the target with anything that God did not think, say, or do within you--God must do the work. That is very a very narrow way. Words for sin are found in the Bible.
