SEVEN DEADLY SINS?

 SEVEN DEADLY SINS?

Ephesians [MKJV] 2:1-10 And He has made you alive, who were once dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience; among whom we also had our way of life in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love with which He loved us (even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), and has raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, 

so that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. 

  As taught by some theologians of yesteryear and a few denominations yet today, here are the seven deadly sins:

Pride — An inflated, unrealistic sense of your self-worth.

Envy — The feeling that you deserve the possessions, success, virtues, or talents of another person.

Gluttony — An excessive desire for the pleasure of eating and drinking.

Lust — A selfish focus on sex or a desire to have sexual pleasure with someone other than your spouse.

Anger — An excessive, improper desire to exact revenge.

Greed — A strong desire for possessions, especially for possessions belonging to another.

Sloth — Lack of effort in the face of a necessary task, causing it to go undone (or done badly).

  They’re also improperly referred to as “cardinal” or “capital” sins, sins that can lead to “mortal sins” which will send a person to hell immediately upon death unless such sins are repented of before death. This is a false teaching. An onus that is contrary to God’s love and grace.

  Are the 7 sinful? Yes. I for one personally know this.

  If I or any other John 1:12; 3:3 family die sans repentance of 1 to 7, will we suffer eternity in hell? No. For understanding and relief unto peace read Ephesians 2:1-10 and Romans chapter 4. Justification unto salvation is by faith. It is never by works!
