Senses Unto Honour
Coined from vessels unto honour same is senses unto honour.
2 Timothy 2:20
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
In my days I usually would say the Truth of God's word would be littered all over the world that everyone can lay hold on them willingly, not obliged by fear for "fear hath torment" but actually knowing the Truth and choosing to live therein then and only then would falsehood die a natural death.
our above Scripture shows us those who purge themselves did so by an act of choice not tricked or threatened into living right, believe me all who are in such category actually have not been made perfect in love. "If you live right out of fear then you are far from being made perfect in love".
So I've met believers who live defensive Christian life's, trying not to sin for the fears of going to hell, managing Christianity rather than living it. A great majority of believers are on this table.
" Christianity is to be lived not managed, those who manage it don't see the life in it".
while growing up I've heard so much from parents and leaders just to keep me in check
perhaps you've heard some for yourself too.
stuffs like:
-Listening to a circular song is a sin.
-watching horror,R rated movies or action movies that depict violence are all sin.
If this be true then everyone is a sinner cause one way or another you may have listened to such songs unintentionally maybe walking by the street or while in the hair salon, one way or another you may have seen erotic images while surfing the internet or stumble on some rated R content does that make you a sinner?
No
cause I've learnt sin doesn't originate from the outside
but from within those things without may contribute but sin starts within.
What I'm saying is Listening to that worldly Song is generally not a sin (except against personal instructions). but it can increase your inclinations to sin.
"what you see, hear, smell, taste or feel are not sin but they can facilitate sin, so this piece is not a license to watch all manner of things, hear all manner of songs, inhale all kinds of substance, taste all sorts of nonsense nor feel anything your evil inclinations Leeds you to.
to be continued...
