MESSAGE NOTES FOR JULY 12

THE UNIVERSALITY OF SIN
RICKEY SCOTT,
CONNECTIONS PASTOR

THE UNIVERSAL TACTICS THE DEVIL USES TO ENTICE US TO SIN

1) THE TEMPTATION IN THE GARDEN - WHERE IT ALL STARTED
(GENESIS 3:1-7, 1 JOHN 2:15-17)

THE UNIVERSAL TACTICS THE DEVIL USES TO ENTICE US TO SIN

2) THE TEMPTATION IN THE DESERT - WHERE TEMPTATION WAS REJECTED
(MATTHEW 4:1-11)

THE UNIVERSAL TACTICS THE DEVIL USES TO ENTICE US TO SIN

3) THE TEMPTATION IN THE MIND - WHERE THE BATTLE RAGES
(1 CORINTHIANS 10:15, ROMANS 12:2, PHILIPPIANS 4:8)

NEXT STEPS FOR CHRISTIANS
1) Our sin does not define us, but it can defeat us.
2) Temptation is not sin—Jesus was tempted yet did not sin.
3) Forgiveness is conditional; "if we confess our sins He is faithful to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

NEXT STEP FOR UNBELIEVERS
First Confession of one’s sinful behavior is required for salvation. "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in you heart God has raised him from the dead you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
