Are You Allergic to Sin?

If you are allergic to peanuts, you avoid peanuts, you read labels and menus very closely to ensure you don't ingest them. Likewise, real born-again Christians that have received and trusted Christ Jesus, God manifest in the flesh, have a sin allergy, and they disdain their sins. Genuine salvation creates an allergy within our soul that causes us to beware of and abhor sin. But the natural man chooses to cherish, love, long for, and insanely practice their secret lusts. They love to wave sin under other people's noses, and offer sin to others. But if you really love the God of the Bible, you will confess your sins, be grieved over them, flee from and hate your sin. It is either Christ Jesus, or your sin, which will it be for you? Your sins grieve God's heart, and they made Jesus Christ bleed and die on Calvary's Cross.

Sin and sacrilege interests, excites and makes lost men laugh. Sin captures the child of disobedience's emotions. But the Bible, Christ Jesus, and the Cross upset them. They are interested in the gutter and rejoice in iniquity. They enjoy sinful actions in others - they love watching hell-avision. The natural man's conscience is jaded and blunted by his love of sin. They love to watch, listen to, and read things that exalt sexual immorality, things that exalt man, money, and materialism. Godless people love to be entertained by things that promote sin and rejoice in unrighteousness and the secret shameful deeds of darkness. The lost man automatically approves of what God disapproves of, and he delights in repeating his favorite sins. They love to hear the misfortune, faults, and failures of others, because it makes them feel superior to others.  The worldling loves and enjoys his sins, but sin pesters and annoys the Christian.

Thoughtless sinners love the 'god' they make, but not the GOD that made them. But remember - Death is the great leveller of all men. Only a fool would believe in mindless evolution. Dirty water (evolution) will never wash your soul clean. Fools make a mock at sin *Proverbs 14:9*, and be sure your SIN will find you out in your addictions, misery, wretchedness, and a Christ-less Eternity. Lost sinners laugh at sinful actions, their own and others.  They make light of vile things, jest at them, they call evil good, and good evil. The carnal mind takes delight in the sinful actions of others and applauds and approves of them. They take pleasure in doing sin themselves, and in those that do sin. They mock and scoff at those that rebuke their sinful death-styles.

The natural carnal mind is more interested and captivated by the forbidden and the dark side of life.  When you delight in and justify your sin, you offend your Maker, dishonor Christ, and grieve the Holy Spirit. The open approval of sin is the final evidence of the sinner's inward corruption; they insanely follow after lies (evolution, worldly religions) that will let them enjoy their sin.  If you sow the thorns of sin, they will not yield the corn of peace and joy within. Sow a filthy thought, reap an impure act; sow an impure act, reap a vile habit; sow a vile habit, reap an evil addiction; sow an evil addiction, reap a godless character; sow a godless character, reap a Christ-less Eternity.

You must come to the Cross with all the rest of us bankrupt, ungodly crooks, or you cannot be saved from your love of sin. What did Jesus Christ ever do to you to make you blaspheme His name and hate Him so?  Your personal sin that you commit every day deserves a terrible punishment - the everlasting Lake of Fire. Christ was punished for your sins; please don't keep messing around and die in your sins, and suffer for your sins for all Eternity, when you don't have to. Every lost man is afraid of physical pain - burns, breaks, aches, and bruises, but for some reason, they are not afraid of eternal pain. Trust Christ Jesus alone, not yourself.

Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to *depart from evil* is understanding. Fear the Lord, and depart from evil.  Stop loving your sins and rejecting Christ.  A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. But the man that sinneth against God wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate Jesus Christ love death.
