FAITH CAPSULE: Sin and sinning is not excusable before God.

A failure not to do the commandment of God’s word is nothing but disobedient. Disobeying God is sin. With sin, no man can reach God. Disobeying the word of God does not have excuse before God but only lead to consequence. Is sin and sinning your way of life? Adam and Eve violated the word of God and there was no reasonable excuse for their sin. Truly, Adam did not ask God for woman helper it was God’s idea for Adam to have an helper as documented, “…But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.” (Genesis 2:20-22)
God’s response to Adam’s sin and Adam’s excuse for his sin is recorded, “Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So, he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
Adam’s excuse does not count before as the Lord God dealt him with the consequences of his sin. Be warned, know and understand that sin and sinning is not excusable before God. As a temple of God, are you taking care of your temple God? It is written, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16) For real, as a believer, do you not know that you are the temple (House) of God? As regard to the temple of God (you) the bible stated, the consequence of not knowing to take care of the temple of God, “If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” (1 Corinthians 3:17) Are you defiling the temple of God in you? It is important for man to be keeping the temple of God. God will not accept any excuse for the failure to be keeping temple.
Jesus, by His word and action clearly demonstrated the intolerance against not keeping the temple. Once, He drove out those who bought and sold in it. (Luke 19:45) Jesus declared the violation of the temple, “My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves” (Luke 19:46) Are you violating His temple or you are elevating His temple?

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace not to be a failure in all the calling of God upon your life.
