*Certainty for the repentant: Cleansing, Isa. 1:16-20.

II. THE CERTAINTY OF SIN’S DISAPPOINTMENT.

III. THE CERTAINTY OF LEAVING EARTHLY POSSESSIONS, 1 Tim. 6:7-10.

A. The Sin of Covetousness, Lk. 12:13-21.

1. Possessions are temporary, Job 1:21.

2. Possessions are a blessing & tool, not an end, Eccl. 5:13-17.

A. Sin Brought Death into the World:

1. Spiritual death (Gen. 2:17); All because each sin, Rom. 5:12 (3:23; 6:23).

2. Physical death (a consequence of Adam’s sin, Gen. 3:19).

3. Eternal death (wages of sin, Rom. 6:23).

Conclusion

1. Paul exemplifies God’s grace to sinners, 1 Tim. 1:12-16.

2. God does not desire the death of sinners; therefore, repent (new heart & new spirit), cast away all sins…and live rather than die! Ezek. 18:30-32
