RR Psalm 51:5-7 Part 5

Shalom,

Psalm 51:5 For I know my transgressions (Pesha) and my sin (Chatah) is ever before me. 6 Against You, You only, have I sinned (Chatah), and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are just when You speak, and blameless when You judge. 7 Behold, I was born in iniquity and in sin when my mother conceived me.

Is our attention fully captured by the level of trouble we are in by the “sin” problem we have inherited from Adam and Eve?  Isaiah 59:12 For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us, for our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities.  What, you don’t believe in original sin (a lot of Jewish people say they don’t)?  

Then let me ask another question (a little easier to answer), “Do you believe the Bible?”  Psalm 51:7 Behold, I was born in iniquity and in sin when my mother conceived me.  (This is in the Jewish Bible.)  Secular humanism proposes that we can fix the problem by trying harder.  We can’t fix the sin problem without divine help because we ARE the sin problem.  

Simply put, we need the Savior.  John 3:18 The one who believes in Him is not condemned; but whoever does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not put his trust in the name of the one and only Ben-Elohim.  John 1:12 But whoever did receive Him, those trusting in His name, to these He gave the right to become children of God.  That’s right, children of God who are born again (of the Spirit) to say “no” to Satan and his sinful ways, and these same children of God say “yes” to God and His righteousness.  

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 5:15 But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if many died because of the transgression of one man, how much more did the grace of God overflow to many through the gift of one Man—Yeshua the Messiah.  

Finally, my friends, be an overcomer.  Satan has a plan for your life, it involves pain and suffering on account of sin.  God has a better plan for your life.  It involves… Psalm 37:23 From Adonai a man’s steps are made firm, when He delights in his way.  Shalom shalom.
