TOPIC: CONSEQUENCES OF SIN
TEXT: Deuteronomy 34:5-8(NKJV)
- 34:5. So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
- 34:6. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day.
- 34:7. Moses [was] one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.
- 34:8. And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. So the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses ended.
STUDY:
Moses died in the land of Moab after taking a view of the Promised Land from the top of Mount Nebo. The Lord himself buried him in the valley, in the land of Moab. Moses, the servant of the Lord who ministered to Israel for forty years could not enjoy the privilege of entering the Promised Land.
He saw the land described by God as flowing with milk and honey, but did not enter in with the children of Israel because of sin. We must note that there are consequences for every action we take in life. God hates sin, hence, we must avoid it.
Although Moses died at 120 years, with a sound mind and body and was mourned for thirty days by the children of Israel, he was not fully fulfilled because of sin.
Although Moses’ sin was forgiven, still he had to suffer the consequence of his action. “Sin has consequences.”. We therefore need to make things right with God when we sin. No matter how small we may perceive a sin to be, it is a serious matter before God.
Sin leads to death, Spiritually and physically. Saul died because of his sin (1 Chron. 10:13-14; Rom. 6:23). Sin attracts God’s wrath (Col. 3:6).
Because of its consequences, we need to confess our sins and be cleansed by the blood of Jesus (1 John 1-7; Rom. 6:23). Do you need to make things right with God? Do not delay, take that action now.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, help me to forsake sin, so that I may not miss heaven, Amen!
