God’s Plan of Salvation – Fact #3 – You Are Dead in Sin

Leave a reply

If you have confessed and admitted that you are a sinner,  then God now wants you to know that “the wages of sin is death.”  Just as you are paid wages for the job you perform in the world, so you are paid wages in the spiritual world for the things you have done.

Romans 6:23

 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

You are dead in sin, until you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.  He must be  your –personal- Savior, because you have personally sinned against God.  YOU!  It has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone else, or any outside mediator such as a religious affiliation.  The  relationship is personal, between you and God alone.  To be saved, is to be made spiritually alive in Christ.

Ephesians 2:1

 And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.

Only the Holy Spirit can convict you of your sins.  Should you choose to ignore Him, you will remain dead in your sins.  What is death?

  1. Death is spiritual separation.  Your sins have separated you from God, therefore you are dead in your sins.
  2. Death is physical separation.  It separates the spirit and soul from the body.
  3. Death is eternal separation.  If you choose to remain lost in your sins, you will stand before God at the Great White Throne Judgment.  It is there that your sins will separate you from the mercy of God forever.  This is hell.

Revelation 20:11-15

11 And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

great white throne judgment 2

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

YOU KNOW THAT GOD LOVES YOU – YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE A SINNER . . .

Admit this fact to yourself

I AM DEAD IN SINS
