Our Reaction to Sin

+ Should not cover up

Psalm 32:5

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions  to the Lord.” And you forgave  the guilt of my sin.

+ Confess it to God

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins  and purify us from all unrighteousness.

+ Should hate it

Proverbs 8:13

To fear the Lord  is to hate evil; I hate  pride and arrogance, evil behaviour and perverse speech.

+ Should renounce it

Proverbs 28:13

Whoever conceals their sins  does not prosper, but the one who confesses  and renounces them finds mercy.

+ Should master it

Genesis 4:7

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;  it desires to have you, but you must rule over it. ”

+ Mourn over it

James 4:8-9

Come near to God and he will come near to you.  Wash your hands,  you sinners, and purify your hearts,  you double-minded.    Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.

+ Resist to bloodshed

Hebrews 12:4

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

+ Put to Death

Romans 8:13

For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;  but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,  you will live.

+ Repent and Pray

Acts 8:22

Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.

+ Should purify from

James 4:8

Come near to God and he will come near to you.  Wash your hands,  you sinners, and purify your hearts,  you double-minded
