Sin, Transgression, and Iniquity
Definitions:
Sin- an offense against religious or moral law, an action that is or is felt to be highly reprehensible, an often serious shortcoming, fault, a transgression of the law of Yah, a vitiated state of human nature in which the self is estranged from Yah.
Transgression- refers to presumptuous sin, to choose to intentionally disobey, willful trespassing Yah’s law, statutes, and commandments.
Iniquity- is more deeply rooted, a premeditated choice, continuing in sin without repenting, continued iniquity leads to a reprobate mind.
SEVEN DEADLY SINS: PRIDE, ENVY, GLUTTONY, LUST, ANGER, GREED, and SLOTH
Pride- excessive belief in one’s own abilities, that interferes with the individual’s recognition of the grace of Yah. It has been called the sin from which all others arise, also known as vanity.
Envy- anger turned inward for something that someone has like status, possessions, power, or wealth that they don’t have but wished that they did.
Gluttony- is characterized by a limitless appetite for food and drink and overindulgence to the point where one is no longer eating just to live, but rather living to eat, to be loosed morally.
Lust- a strong craving or desire, often of a sexual nature or idolatrous worship, an all-encompassing desire for inordinate affections, sinful longing; the inward sin which leads to the falling away from Yahuah.
Anger- a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility, sudden violent displeasure, and often a result of an insult, injury, or injustice, if you’re mad about something and you’re not going to take it anymore, an emotion with a wide range of intensity from mild irritation and frustration to rage.
Greed- intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food, an excessive desire for more of something than is needed.
Sloth- reluctance to work or make an effort, laziness, spiritual or emotional apathy, neglecting what Yah has spoken, and being physically and emotionally inactive, extreme laziness.
SEVEN THINGS YAHUAH HATES that are an ABOMINATION to HIM:
haughty (arrogant, prideful) eyes, lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, false witness who pours out lies, a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Mishley/Proverbs 6:16-19- There are seven things Yahuah hates; seven are an abomination unto him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood; a heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he soweth discord among the brethren.

Sorry for the Delay!!!!!
Shalom, shalom brethren and sistren!!! I know it’s been a few weeks since I have posted our devotional and Scripture study, and I apologize for the delay. I have had some personal issues in my life that I had to work through, however our Abba (Father) has saw me through and restored me. He has turned my mourning into dancing! All hallal (praise) and esteem (glory) and honor unto Yahuah for His goodness and mercy! So without further due, let us be fed of The Master…….
Devotional: Our Daily Bread – Turn Off the Scoreboard by Joe Stowell
At his son’s wedding reception, my friend Bob offered advice and encouragement to the newlyweds. In his speech he told of a football coach in a nearby town who, when his team lost a game, kept the losing score on the scoreboard all week to remind the team of their failure. While that may be a good football strategy, Bob wisely advised, it’s a terrible strategy in marriage. When your spouse upsets you or fails you in some way, don’t keep drawing attention to the failure. Turn off the scoreboard. What great advice! Scripture is full of commands for us to love each other and overlook faults. We are reminded that love “keeps no record of wrongs” (I Qorintiyim/1 Corinthians 13:5) and that we should be ready to forgive one another”just as Yahuah forgave you” (Eph’siyim/Ephesians 4:32). I am deeply grateful that Yahuah turns off the scoreboard when I fail. He doesn’t simply forgive when we repent; He removes our sin as far as the east is from the west (Tehillim/Psalms 103:12. With Yahuah, forgiveness means that our sin is out of sight and out of mind. May He give us grace to extend forgiveness to those around us. Forgive as Yahuah forgives you-don’t keep score.
This devotional’s message was in context to marriage. however, it can be applied to our lives as a whole, with whoever we are in contact with. If we are to be forgiven by our Abba, we have to truly forgive others as well. I know this may be a struggle for us (myself included), especially when we are be wronged for no apparent reason. However, when we think of Mashiach, what He went through, and endured for our sakes, we can grasp a better understanding of its importance. Let us strive to forgive as our Mashiach, our example, did.

Devotional: Daily Wisdom for Women- Practical, Biblical Insight for Today’s Woman by: Barbour
Title: Kepha’s (Peter’s) Denial
Mattithyahu/Matthew 26:31-33 Then Yahusha said to them,”You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written,”I will strike down the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.” But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.” But Kepha (Peter) answered and said to Him,”Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away.”
Kepha was convinced that his faith in Mashiach (Christ) was so strong nothing could cause it to crumble. Yet only a few hours later he cowered when a young servant girl accused him of being one of Yahusha’s followers. And then he openly denied his Master. How boldly he had declared,”Even if i have to die with You, I will not deny You” (Mattithyahu/Matthew 26:35). And all the rest of the disciples verbally agreed with Kepha (Peter). A little while later they accompanied Yahusha into the Garden of Gethsemane, where He requested that they pray with Him. Instead they fell asleep. Later that night, Kepha (Peter) would know without a doubt that Yahusha had tried to warn him. Then he would look into those intense eyes and understand that because Mashiach (Christ) went to Calvary even this sin of denial could be forgiven. There have been times when you have disappointed Yahusha. Have you repented and asked forgiveness? Have you realized that upon repentance and forgiveness the burden of the sin will be lifted?
Palal (Prayer)- Master, I have, at one time or another, acted as if I could live any way i wanted. Yet it cost Mashiach (Christ) everything to purchase my redemption. Let me willingly come and pray to You.

Devotional: My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers
Title: The Cost of Sanctification
When we pray, asking Yahuah to sanctify us, are we prepared to measure up to what that really means? We take the word sanctification much too lightly. Are we prepared to pay the cost of sanctification? The cost will be a deep restriction of all our earthly concerns, and an extensive cultivation of all our Yahly concerns. Sanctification means to be intensely focused on Yahuah’s point of view. It means to secure and to keep all the strength of our body, soul, and spirit for Yahuah’s purpose alone. Are we really prepared for Yahuah to perform in us everything for which He separated us? And after He has done His work, are we then prepared to separate ourselves to Yahuah just as Yahusha did? “For their sakes I sanctify Myself…” (Yohanan/John 17:19). The reason some of us have not entered into the experience of sanctification is that we have not realized the meaning of sanctification from Yahuah’s perspective. Sanctification means being made one with Yahusha so that the nature that controlled Him will control us. Are we really prepared for what that will cost? It will cost absolutely everything in us which is not of Yahuah. Are we prepared to be caught up into the full meaning of Sha’ul’s (Paul’s) prayer in this verse? Are we prepared to say,”Master, make me, a sinner saved by grace, as set-apart as You can”? Yahusha prayed that we might be one with Him, just as He is one with the father (see Yohanan/John 17:21-23). The resounding evidence of the Ruach ha’Qodesh/Set-Apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) in a person’s life is the unmistakable family likeness to Yahusha ha’Mashiach, and the freedom from everything which is not like Him. Are we prepared to set ourselves apart for the Ruach ha’Qodesh’s work in us?
