Information
The struggle with sin!
Challenge of Sacrificial Pattern vs Christ’s Sacrifice
Inspiration
Ephesians 2:1 NKJV
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
Paraptoma- the action of going beyond or overstepping boundary or limit.
The devil seduces us at first by all the allurements of sin in order thereafter to plunge us into despair. He pampers up the flesh that he may by and by prostrate the spirit.
Martin Luther
Hamartia- to miss the mark
Ephesians 2:4 NKJV
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
Ephesians 2:5 NKJV
even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
Ephesians 2:6 NKJV
and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Ephesians 2:8 NKJV
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
There is a difference between grace and mercy. God in his mercy does not give us what we do deserve, and God in his grace gives us what we don’t deserve.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Colossians 1:13–14 NKJV
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:13–14 M:BCL
God rescued us from dead-end alleys and dark dungeons. He’s set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much, the Son who got us out of the pit we were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating.
Revelation
When we move outside the boundaries God has established we invite evil.
Darkness is the absence of light.
No light and darkness will control the outcomes.
Application
Walk in the Light!
1 John 1:7 NKJV
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Transformation
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any areas you have moved the boundaries.
Forgive all those who have hurt you, crossed you, and broken trust.
Matthew 6:12 AMP
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven (left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have given up resentment against) our debtors.

Your greatest victory over sin is your ability to forgive those who have sinned against you.
