God has told us clearly in the Book of Daniel that the time would come when an end would be put to sin.
(Sunday, 10/24/2004) Sin began in Heaven around the Throne of God. Sin began with the self-will of Satan; self-will is the mother of all sin.
We may never have believed we would see the day when all sin is removed from the creation, but God has declared it shall be so.
"Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. (Daniel 9:24)
"To put an end to sin." Think of it! Everyone say, "To put an end to sin."
Notice it does not say who is to put an end to sin. The fact is, it shall be God and man working together that will put an end to sin. God shall bruise Satan under out feet. It is the sword of the Lord and of Gideon.
The Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to destroy the works of the devil, and He is going to do this through His saints.
We know from the thirteenth chapter of the Book of Matthew that at the end of the age the messengers of God will remove sin and sinners from the Kingdom of God. It is our conviction, based I believe on the Scriptures as well as our experience of sixty years as a Christian, that the work of removing sin has begun, and it has begun with those who are seeking the Lord fervently.
But how do we remove sin from our life. We do so one day at a time, under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of the blood of the cross.
We name the specific behavior clearly.
We denounce the behavior as being unworthy of the Kingdom of God.
We vehemently renounce the behavior, stating we want nothing to do with it for eternity.
We draw near to the Lord Jesus Christ for comfort and strength.
In the future we, through the Lord’s help, resist the specific behavior.
Thus we can be perfect for the day although we have not as yet been perfected.
It never is God’s will that a Christian walk in known sin.
The above five steps will be effective, but only if the believer is faithfully carrying his or her cross and serving the Lord fervently in all areas of Christian discipleship. Otherwise the spirits of darkness will return and the condition will be worse than before.
Try what we have outlined and observe the results. Taste and see that the Lord is good.
