My target for this topic is "Sin's Penalty," but this is among many other topics such as the following: Sin which has these subtopics, vain talk, contempt of others, foolish thoughts, unbelief, neglect of opportunities, all unrighteousness, its universality, sins deceptiveness despised by saints, to be forsaken, known to GOD, hateful of God, and allurements. then we have sin's penalty which includes, separation, abandonment of God, sometimes delayed, inevitability, ignorance, omission, and deliverance. But through tempted to look into the above listed, I will stick to the issue at hand. Making use of the ESV translation and with the LORD's help will stick close to my topic as assigned.
The Warning:
Deuteronomy 18:15-22 "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, 'Let me (us) not hear again the voice of the LORD my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.' And the LORD said to me, 'They are right in what they have spoken. For I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put My words in His mouth, and He will speak to them all that I command Him. And whoever will not listen to My words that He will speak in my name, I Myself will require it of him. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.' And if you say in your heart, 'How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?'— when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him."
Sin's Penalty:
Physical and Spiritual Death,
For study our base text is:
Genesis 2:15-17 "The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die (the mark of chaos or check mate in the king within you is dead) ."
Genesis 3:8-19 with Deuteronomy 32:51 "They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day (early morning hours, the spirit of man), and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God called to the man and said to him, "Where are you (a search for an unknown, being separated from another)?" And he said, "I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself." He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate." Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you will go, and dust you will eat (signifying mans flesh of 2:7, the combing of water and dust) all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; He will bruise your head, and you will bruise His heel (religare' Latin for the power to hinder, bind, the meaning of religion)." To the woman he said, "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." To Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you will eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Deuteronomy 32:48-52 "That very day the LORD spoke to Moses, "Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel for a possession. And die on the mountain which you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, and because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the people of Israel. For you shall see the land before you, but you shall not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel."
1Chronicles 10:13-14 "So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the LORD in that he did not keep the command of the LORD, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance. He did not seek guidance from the LORD. Therefore the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse."
Proverbs 11:14-21 "Where there is no guidance, the people fall, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety. Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure. A gracious woman gets honor, and violent men get riches. A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself. The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward. Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die. Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those of blameless ways are His delight. Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered."
Ezekiel 18:1-4 "The word of the LORD came to me: "What do you mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge'? As I live, declares the LORD GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. For behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine: the soul who sins will die (to miss the mark aimed at)."
Romans 5:12-14 "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type (a foreshadowing) of the one who was to come."
Romans 6:20-23 "For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our (supremacy) Lord."
