Text: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Introduction

Last week we looked at how God views homosexuality. This is just one of many things that God does not approve of.

What if we are doing things that God does not approve of?

• Does He care?
• What must be done about it?

Consider what the Corinthians did, and the change they made (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

Body

I. We must recognize that we are ALL sinners.

A. Every single one of us listening to this sermon was a sinner (Romans 3:23).

B. If we claim not to sin, then we are lying (1 John 1:8,10).

C. Because of our sin, we have been separated from God (Isaiah 59:1-2).

II. We must recognize that God loves us.

A. Even though sin separates us from God, nothing separates us from the love of God (Romans 8:33-39).

B. God demonstrates His love for us by giving us His Son (John 3:16-17; 15:13-14; Luke 9:56).

C. Yes, while we were still sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5:6-11).

D. Christ died for ALL of us (2 Corinthians 5:14-15), and His blood can cleanse ALL our sins, if we let Him (1 John 1:7).

E. Jesus Christ came to seek and save the lost (Matthew 18:11).

III. We must recognize God did His part; we must do ours!

A. We must have faith in Christ and what He did for us (Romans 3:24-26; Hebrews 11:6).

B. Our faith must work (James 2:17).

C. We must repent of our sins (2 Corinthians 7:8-12; Luke 13:3,5; 2 Peter 3:9).

D. We must confess our sins (1 John 1:9).

E. We must be baptized in the blood of Christ to wash away our sins (Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21).

F. We must be raised to go and sin no more (Romans 6:1-7; 1 John 2:1-2) as the woman caught in adultery was told (John 8:10-12).

Conclusion

All of us are sinners, but God loves each and every one of us.

Do you love Him too? If so, you will become a Christian as He commands you (John 14:15).

Have your sins washed away, so you can receive everlasting life in Christ!
