Sin

Sin does not and can never prevent the revelation of God.  God manifested Himself in the flesh through His only Beloved Son as Jesus the Man from Nazareth.  He made Himself so real.  And it happened when we were in the thick of our sins.  If sins could have prevented God from revealing Himself, Jesus would never have become a reality.

The Son of God [God Himself] came to us as Jesus the Man from Nazareth to free us from the clutches of satan. First, He was punished for all the mistakes we made under the influence of the evil one.  Then, He showed us how the evil one works and leads us away from the devil by empowering us to do that.

Miseries follow sin.  The following is my pictorial perception of sin:

The Son of God as the Jesus the Man from Nazareth was beaten to a pulp before He was crucified!

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. [2 Corinthians 5:21].

The Bible says in Romans 8:32 - He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

And as I read and think over this passage repeatedly, it dawned on me that God also did not spare Himself from the excruciating pain and agony of having to watch His darling Son suffered like that!  The sight was just too much for our tender-hearted Father God to bear.  He had to look away!

I understand sin to mean not taking God's opinions.  The entire Bible is peppered with God's opinions on how one can lead the life as His beloved child after accepting what His only Beloved Son has done as Jesus the Man from Nazareth.

The way to get out or away from sins is not trying to do that.  It is to learn from Jesus how to do that and let Him empower us.  Jesus guides us not to make the same mistakes by showing us where and how we could make those mistakes.

My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge [Hosea 4:6]

Satan has a plan for us: Destruction!

God has much better plans: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. [Jeremiah 29:11]

God knows what the devil is up to and how we can defeat him. God's guarantee success over satan is found in the Bible.

But let it be known to you that once Jesus has saved you, you are always saved no matter what you do.  

It alludes to Acts 13:38-39: “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.

This is the unadulterated Gospel [Good News].  Some call the glory of this amazing Gospel antinomianism.
