John tells us in 1st John 3 that sin is the
transgression of the law. Therefore,
John tells us that sin is breaking the 10 commandments. What happens to a person when they break any
of the commandments? Paul tells us they
then are producing the works of the flesh in Gal 5. Since we live by the Spirit, (those who have
the Holy Spirit living in and through us) will produce the fruit of the
Spirit.
We find that the world today (Satan is the god of this
world or age until Jesus our Lord returns to set up His Kingdom at the start of
the Millennium) are saying evil is good and good is evil, who put darkness for
light and light for darkness. God said
to those who do this “Woe.” We have heard
this all our life from schools, TV, movies and government and from the churches;
this is how our society treats sin today by pushing and forcing the works of
the flesh upon all people in all places.

(1
John 3:4 KJV) Whosoever committed sin transgresses
also the law: for
sin is the transgression of the law.
(Gal 5:19-23 KJV)
Now the
works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, {20} Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, {21} Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
(Gal 5:22-25 NIV)
But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, {23} gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no
law. {24} Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature
with its passions and desires. {25} Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
(Isa 5:20 NIV)
Woe
to those who call
evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who
put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
