Sons of Jacob vengeful
Genesis 34:18-31
.Sin is like a virus. When we pray for forgiveness and reconciliation, we pray for forgiveness for our sins we know and do not know.
In fact, there is no sin committed without knowing it. Because we rationalize it.
People rationalize that if they sin and don't get caught, they're not guilty.
They are docile and a little shy, but are easily ignored.
You must have evidence to admit you are guilty. Worse still, there are many who brazenly say no to evidence. In general, how can people hide their sins rather than how not to sin? I am more interested in that. But it is clear that man can be deceived, but God cannot be deceived. Sin is like cancer cells. It is a very terrifying thing that kills the soul.
Sin does not go away with the passing of time. And that influence is not going away.
Look at Psalm 32:3 4.
If we sin like this, we suffer spiritually.
That is why many people paralyze their thoughts over and over so that they do not have remorse.
Among the many sins, there is one peculiar sin. A common sin is a sin in which a person becomes the subject and sins against a person. But there is a sin committed in the name of God.
This is called a religious sin. The most heinous and destructive sins; religious sins.
That is, it is a sin committed in the name of Jesus while believing in Jesus. Heretics are one such group.
We speak in the name of Jesus, and we say why we believe in the same God.
They say that the established church is a dead church, and they criticize the church by doing everything they do with the established church.
It was even in the days of Jesus. The Pharisees and the scribes. They had a monopoly over God, the temple, and the law. They said that only they believed in God best, were well versed in the Bible, and served God best.
These things still exist today. Even in the church, those who pray a lot and work hard are monopolized by them.
There are cases when we say we preach in the name of Jesus, but we do not act biblically.
Dear saints,
Even if you are a child of God and have been promised an inheritance, if you neglect your relationship with God, you will make the same mistake as Dina. So you will be ashamed of the world.
We cannot live outside this world. We cannot live alone together.
However, even if we go out and live in a world where sin is pervasive, we must always be awake spiritually.
It must live in a right relationship with God. These people commit sins and make mistakes, but they just come back. However, even if you pray a lot and serve the church diligently, you cannot have a right relationship with God.
If you pray and read the Word, you will begin to think and act wrongly.
Last time, in Genesis 34:13, the sons of Jacob hear the news of their brother Dinah's rape, and decide to take revenge.
Jacob's sons were not only seeking revenge on the Shechemhans, but also wanted to kill the tribe.
That's why he was thinking about getting him circumcised and using that gap to kill him.
Circumcision was the first covenant God made to Abraham in Genesis 17:10-14.
But the sons of Jacob are guilty of taking the name of God. They have a good heart for their brother. But the method is not correct. No matter how good the purpose is, if the method is bad, it is a sin.
I am trying to get revenge by using the word of God. This is sin.
Even today, there are people who deceive others in the name of God and take advantage of them. Some take advantage of others by borrowing God's name.
