What Jesus Came to Do (1 of 3)
Series: Defeating Sin
Robert Dawson
1 John 3:4-10
As parents, we all hand down something to our children.
1. We may hand down our nose, eyes, ears, chin or hair color.
2. We may hand down our bad backs, allergies, or other undesirable hereditary health issues
3. We may hand down our winsome personality, charm, sense of humor or lack thereof, determination, good work ethic or a host of other admirable qualities
4. We may hand down our cynicism, critical attitude, anger, our penchant for conflict, insecurities and a whole host of other bad habits and destructive attitudes.
Some of what we pass on to our children will help them succeed or provide a weight that pulls them toward struggle and failure rather than a stepping stone to success.
We have no control over some of the things we hand down. We cannot rewrite our genetic code. There are others things we pass down, like bad habits and a bad example, that we do have control over.
There is one thing that all parent's pass down to their children from the moment they are born. It was handed down from their parents and their parent's parents. It is an inheritance passed down to every person regardless of race nationality, gender or social standing.
It is not a family trait to be proud of. It is not a priceless family heirloom to be treasured. It is a deadly spiritual defect that infects every part of every person in the great family tree of human history, from Adam and Eve our first parents to the newest baby to draw breath, called sin.
1. Romans 5.12 - Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned
2. Romans 3:9-18 (ESV) - ...both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, [10] as it is written: ''None is righteous, no, not one; [11] no one understands; no one seeks for God. [12] All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.'' [13] ...
