When we receive Christ as our Lord and Savior, we
know He has conquered sin in our life. It is through
His death that our sins have been cleansed and no
longer to be remembered. Jesus’ life makes the
difference. "Blessed are they whose transgressions
are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the
man whose sin the Lord will never count against
him” (Romans 4:7- .
Pride - quality or state of being proud – inordinate
self esteem: “Pride goes before destruction, a
haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).
Gluttony – excess in eating and drinking: “for
drunkards and gluttons become poor, and
drowsiness clothes them in rags” (Proverbs 23:21).
Greed - excessive or reprehensible acquisitiveness:
“Having lost all sensitivity, they have given
themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in
every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for
more” (Ephesians 4:19).
Laziness – disinclined to activity or exertion: not
energetic or vigorous: “The way of the sluggard is
blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a
highway” (Proverbs 15:19).
Wrath – strong vengeful anger or indignation: “A
gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word
stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1)
Envy – painful or resentful awareness of an
advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire
to possess the same advantage: “Therefore, rid
yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy,
envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn
babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you
may grow up in your salvation” (1 Peter 2:1-2).
Lust – to have an intense desire or need: “But I tell
you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has
already committed adultery with her in his
heart” (Matthew 5:28).
