15 Then when Lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth Sin : and Sin , when it is Finished , bringeth forth Death.

For then would they Not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more Conscience of Sins.
⇒ for whatsoever is Not of Faith is Sin.
Sin Consciousness is a Perversion of the Gospel. It produces Guilt and Guilt undermines Faith.
Without Faith it is impossible to Receive from God.
Sin separates us from God while Faith connects us to God.
Why does God Hate Sin ?
Because it undermines our Life producing Relationship with Him.
To Choose Life is to reject Sin. It`s Just that simple.
Don`t Condemn but rather pity the person who Sins. They are undermining their own Life.
Remember, Gospel means Good News.
If your Thoughts are lustful or Just negative You are Not operating in the Gospel.
The challenge is to Seek Life and repudiate Death.
You Will Not Seek what You do Not Desire.
If You are battling any Kind of Sin , Ask God to remove the Desire for that Sin.
He Will set You Free as soon as You Ask Him!
