Sin of Omission

Sharing the sermon, I preached this Sunday at my church. It is in English.  

Summary of the message

• Main Verse:- James 4:17
• So it is sin to know the good and yet not do it. (CSB)
• Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. (NLT)
• SC&SO
• Sin of Commission - Sins that a person actively commits. 
• Sin of Omission - A sin of omission is a sin that is the result of not doing something God’s Word teaches that we should do. James 4:17
• I had personally confessed and thought of sin of commission 95% time. Did not think about omissions that much.
• Paul's struggle with this issue - Rom. 7:14-20 - Struggle with Sin
• Good Samaritan story - Luke 10:25-37
• Bible teachings - 1 John 3:17-18, Mathew 25:44-45
• Consequences of Omission
1. Intentional Omission is disobedience. Obedience is better than sacrifice. ( 1Sam. 15:22)
2.  Omission leads to neglect which hinders the fulfillment of God's purpose and calling. 
3. Omission leads to missed divine appointments.
4. Omission has eternal consequences.
5. We end up not helping people in need. A lot of words and no deeds.

• What to look for when we read the Bible?
1. Look for what God is asking us not to do and asking us to do.
2. Write them down if you feel like you are not doing it.
3. Take action items to start doing it. 

• “Not only our actions, but also our omissions, become our destiny.” ― Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone.
