SINS OF OMISSION JAMES 4:17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. Note: good determined from context, is the Lord s will! (vs. 13-16)
TO OMIT THE STATED WILL OF THE LORD FROM OUR LIVES IS SINFUL! Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven (Matthew 7:21) It is not enough to simply refrain from doing what is prohibited. The fact that God has given us commands logically necessitates active obedience. He said it, we must do it!
GOD DOES NOT REQUIRE WHAT WE CAN NOT DELIVER For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have (2 Corinthians 8:12) But, God does expect a willing mind. That we do whatever we can. Even the one talent man had ability, and was expected by God to do it! (Matthew 25:15,30)
SINS OF OMISSION (THE PRINCIPLE ILLUSTRATED) The priest and the Levite in the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) The man with one talent (Matthew 25:24-30) Some unsuspecting religious people on the judgment day (Matthew 25:41-46)
SOME EXAMPLES OF HIS WILL THAT GOD EXPECTS US TO DO! Loving God and your neighbor (Lk. 10:25-28) Loving brethren in deed and truth (1 Jn. 3:17-18) Preaching the gospel to others (Heb. 5:12) Being proper marriage partners (Eph. 5:23-33) Pressing on to spiritual maturity (Heb. 6:1-3) Not forsaking the Assembling (Heb. 10:25) Doing good to all, esp. brethren (Gal. 6:10) Holding fast to what is good (1 Th. 5:21-22)
CONCLUSION TITUS 2:11-12 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age
