LIkE THE SERPENT

GOD’S WARNING AGAINST THE REJECTION OF KNOWLEDGE

HOSEA 4:6

"6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

LIkE THE SERPENT

GENESIS 3:1-5

"1. Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hathe said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

JOHN 8:44

"44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father
of it."

ONE OFFENSE

JAMES 2:10
"10. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

COMMITTED SERVANT

JOHN 8:34-36
"34. Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS

I JOHN 1:8-10

"8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us."
