FAITH CAPSULE: Sin is sin with no excuse for the consequence of sin.

Genesis 3

For your sin, are you counting on excuses before God?
Sin and sinning are not of God but to set one away from God.
Sin walks in the opposite direction of God.
A failure to do as commanded by the word of God is sin.
With sin, no man can reach God.
Giving an excuse in place of disobedience will not avoid the consequence of disobedience.
Sin is sin with no excuse for the consequence of sin.
Romans 3:23 admonishes, “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 
To become short of the glory of God is not to access the presence of God.
Is sin and sinning your way of life?
There is no legitimate excuse for one with sin before God.
Adam and Eve violated the word of God, and there was no reasonable excuse for their sin. 
Adam did not ask God for a helper when God created Eve as his helper. Genesis 2:20-22 confirms,“…But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.” 
The sin of Adam was rooted in the disobedience of Eve, but it was not a legitimate excuse before God.
Genesis 3:9-13 documents that God called on Adam for his sin and his excuse for sin: “Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, ‘Where are you? So, he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself. “And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
The sin of Adam does not have a reasonable excuse before God, but provoked the consequence of sin over Adam.
Are you living a life of sin and sinning and counting on excuses before God? 
Be warned, know, and understand that sin and sinning are not excusable before God.
Title or role engaged before God will not count but bring painful consequences to the sinner, a disobedient to the word of God.
As a temple of God, are you taking care of the temple of God? 
The word of God records, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). Answering as a believer, making sin a way of life, does not stop the consequences of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask that God enable you not to be a vessel of sin and sinning.
