On this week's episode, we interview our host's hubby, Mr. Michael Monk. He shares his story of faith coming to know Jesus and how that has led him to a place of repentance. Michael also shares about sin and what The Bible and God reveal about how to combat sin. Michael, being a military combat arms officer, and coming to know Jesus later in life gives us some wisdom and a different perspective on our sinful nature as humans and what it can look live to strive to live for God on a daily basis.
Questions:
1. What is one piece of advice you would tell the younger you?
2. What is sin and what is a sinful nature?
- Sin entered the bible in genesis chapter 3, also known as "the fall"
-Sin is the act of trying to place ourselves into a position that is equal to or above God which is rooted in our own pride
- Although sin is manifested in actions, it begins and holds just as much weight in your heart.
3. What does the bible say about our sinful nature?
- 1 Chor. 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but when you are tempted he will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it."
4. How do we combat our sin and sinful desires?
- Understand the consequences of sin to understand that we cannot overcome it on our own
- Heaven by definition is flawless, so how can we who are flawed, sinful, and evil enter? IT IS ONLY BY GRACE THAT WE HAVE BEEN SAVED. No work done by us or on our part could ever be enough. Jesus is the only thing that is and will ever be enough.
We hope you will share this with a friend, follow us on social media, or give us a review so we can reach and encourage more women! See you NEXT TUESDAY for another episode!
