The root of your troubles - Pastor Karl Bezuidenhout

Описание: Romans 3:23 NLT “for everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”

1 John 1:8 ESV “if ‘we’ say we have no sin, ‘we’ deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If ‘we’ confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive ‘us our’ sins and to cleanse ‘us’ from all unrighteousness. If ‘we’ say we have not sinned, ‘we’ make him a liar, and his word is not in ‘us’.”

2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV “for he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.”

Luke 18:9 ESV “he also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I’m not like other men, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Romans 7:14 LSB “but I am fleshly, having been sold into bondage under sin. For what I am working out, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want, I agree with the Law, that it is good. So now, no longer am I the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the working out of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one working it out, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that in me evil is present—in me who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in my members, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am!.”
Mark 10:18 NIV “’Why do you call me good?’ Jesus answered. ‘No one is good-except God alone.’” Galatians 6:3 AMP “If anyone thinks he is something special when in fact he is nothing special except in his own eyes, he deceives himself.” Psalm 16:2 ESV “I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” James 4:6 NLT “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Romans 5:8 NKJV “but God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Psalm 78:36 BSB “they deceived him with their mouths, and lied to him with their tongues. Their hearts were disloyal to him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant. And yet he was compassionate; he forgave their inequity and did not destroy them. He often restrained his anger and did not unleash his full wrath. He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.”

Hebrews 4:16 NKJV “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Psalm 136:1 NKJV “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”

Romans 5:12 NLT “when Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.”

Romans 6:23 NKJV “for the wages of sin is death.”

Isaiah 59:1 BSB “Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your inequities have built barriers between you & your God.”

Deuteronomy 32:52 NKJV “Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel for a possession. And die on the mountain which you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, because you broke faith with me in the midst of the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, and because you did not treat me as holy in the midst of the people of Israel. For you shall see the land before you, but you shall not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”

Deuteronomy 3:25 ESV “Please let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and Lebanon.’ But the LORD was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. And the LORD said to me, ‘Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again.”
