FAITH CAPSULE: Wrongdoing is a violation before God.

2 Samuel 6

Doing what is good wrongly in the name of God is an error, and it is also a wrongdoing, as it is a deviation from accuracy, akin to a mistake, in action or speech.
Wrongdoing is a moral offense that can lead to sin or sinning, as a way of life.
It is wrong to violate the word of God when there is conscious or unconscious error before God.
Wrongdoing is despising the word of God.
The Bible makes us realize that, “He who despises the word will be destroyed…” (Proverbs 13:13)
Have you in any way violated or currently violating the word of God?
Pray that the grace of God will open your eyes to avoid or come out of conscious or unconscious wrongdoing.
Before God, no excuse for wrongdoing.
Before God, there is no excuse for error.
An error made can be an avenue for termination.
Wrongdoing can lead to error in what is said or what one is doing.
Ecclesiastes 5:6 warns, “Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?”
Give yourself attention to your way of life and do not be a victim of wrongdoing.
Before God, Adam and Eve committed an error by believing the serpent enough to eat against the command of God, not to eat from a particular tree in the Garden of Eden. They both violated the word of God by their error (a wrongdoing).
When God showed up (just as He will show up to all), both Adam and Eve attempted to justify their action before God by stating, “Then the man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:12-13) Their excuses were not enough, and God judged them.
The wrongdoing committed by Adam and Eve exposed man to numerous pains today.
Doing what is good wrongly (that is, engaging the heart with a wrong act) in the name of God is an error with no reasonable excuse that will not excuse one from destruction.
Uzzah engaged his heart with a good act, which led to his destruction.
During the transfer of the Ark of God from the house of Abinadab, Uzzah and Ahio drove the cart.
In the process of moving the Ark of God, Uzzah, out of a good heart, committed an act that terminated his life.
The Bible recorded his error, “And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God.’ (Genesis 6:6-7)
The act of Uzzah was an error.

Prayer point: Pray not to become a victim of a life-terminating wrongdoing.
