Timely Sin

#2 of the 3 Part Series, ‘Talking about sin’

The sins of The Revelation (i.e. The Book of Revelation) are unique and timely for today’s Church. We need to be careful what we are doing and/or allowing into our churches. There is a complete listing of sins in the first five books of the Old Testament and of course what Jesus stated in the Gospels (sins of the New Testament Church), but The Revelation stands alone in the description of behavioral and intellectual sins.

It is only the Book of Revelation that offers insight into what God considers ‘last days sins’. These are sins that will make or break the Christian Church in the days preceding Christ’s return.

We ought to pay particular attention to “What the Spirit is saying to the Churches.” If you want to be endured with power, wisdom and love then what The Revelation says to us in these last days need to be a priority for all believers.

Below is a listing in detail of the sins we find in The Revelation, chapters 3 & 4—they are unique and timely sins. (Generally these sins speak to who do you honestly love, where is your passion, what good works do you do, what Christian Worldview do you live by, what is your biblical doctrine, and are you looking for Christ’s return?)

ü Lost your first love and no longer do your first works of being in love with God. Where is your passionate love and caring for wanting to be close to God?

ü You abide by two false teachings (doctrine of Balaam and Nicolaitanes) that teach financial prosperity over the teaching of Christ and the ‘pleasure of sex’ overrides any moral obligation of the consequences of illicit sex.

ü You allow false teachers to promote doctrines stating it is OK to have sex before marriage, homosexual sex, transgender sex, or any and all sex outside of marriage and with any other person other than your marriage partner.

ü You have idols or gods, which you depend upon or give honor to for peace, prosperity, financial freedom, or personal rights, i.e. to honor governments over the rule of God in your life.

ü You have knowledge of or experience in all types of evils and darkness: you give place to the works of the devil in your homes, businesses, and personal lives and know of all types of terrible evil people can do.

ü You do not watch and pray for the Second Coming of Christ. You are more concerned about what you are doing rather then when Christ is returning.

ü You have become ‘warm’ rather than being hot or cold. You have lost your passion for the things of God because of your financial prosperity. You do not even know that you are blind, naked and poor when it comes to the things of God. In fact, you do not realize that you are miserable and in spiritual ruin.

In the last days, these types of sins destroy the church and promotes its demise. The church in the last days loves ‘the darkness that Satan creates’ over the goodness of God. Let’s not give into the power of darkness but rather yield to the gentleness and moving of the Holy Spirit—“hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.”
