"OVERCOMING THE POWER OF SIN AND INQUITY!" (Part 3)
If you just meet us here in order to flow with us I advise you to read part 1 and 2 of this epistle to get indepth understanding. If you have done that then lets continue.
Bible verse: “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of adiamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars.”— Jeremiah 17:1.
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SIN IN INIQUITY
Iniquity is defined as— Deviation from right; wickedness;Gross injustice; a wrongful act; unjust thing or deed.
Sin is the transgression of the law. Iniquity also involves a transgression of the law but it is more than that— Iniquity is GROSS INJUSTICE. The most GROSS INJUSTICE is to say that Almighty God is wrong in any judgment or command He makes.
“O, I would never think of such a horrible thing at that!” But that is precisely what we do whenever we excuse or cover our sin, or blame others for our sin! When we cover our own sin, excuse our sin, rationalize our sin, or fail to agree with God that our sin is sin— we turn that sin into iniquity. Adam's sin of eating the forbidden fruit turned to iniquity when he said in (Gen 3:12) "...The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me..." Realized or not, that ‘blame-shift’, that smokescreen was a subtle accusation that God had mismanaged his life. In reality, Adam was saying that his rebellion was God’s fault!
Again, when we excuse or cover or hide our own sin— it turns into iniquity.
When God, the Righteous Judge, says that you or I transgressed the law— IF YOU OR I say anything other than to ask forgiveness through the Blood of JESUS, it can turn to iniquity.
Only the power of the Blood of JESUS covers the sin and EMPOWERS me to STOP DOING THAT SIN. (Hebrews 9:14; 1 John 1:7)
