intro
Let me tell you a couple of things about humanity.
You dont need to be an anthropologist to understand people, all you need is is scripture.
When God created us, he made us perfect.
However, things did not stay that way.
man gave in to satans temptations to disobey God.
When that happened, theologically it is simply known as the Fall, but many things about us changed.
We can see the immediate effects of sin: Shame, guilt - running from God, a broken relationship with their creator.
Fear.. jjust to name a few.
death of course alo made its apperence.
Our very brains were forever changed by sin, its like we were rewired.
We stopped loving God, we become jelious and full of envy, we became angry with one another.
We can speak for days about all the evil effects of Sin, but today i only want to minister on one.
We see this effect also woerking right away.
The Dodging of Personal responsibility
All of a sudden, everyone is innocent and its all someone elses fault.
No one is responciblie for anything anymore.
God ask Adam a personal question: Have YOU eaten?
Have YOU done this?
He is asking Adam about his actions.
Adams response: It was the woman...
God ases the Woman: What is this YOU have done?
God is asking the woman about what SHE has done, not what Adam has done but what SHE has done.
Her response: It was the serpant...
This has become the standard pattern for humanity: When something goes wrong, dodge all personal responcibility and blame someone else.
This is now our culture.
This is the world we live in.
If a man is a riminal they balme poverty.
If a man is abusive they blame his upbringing.
If a man is a molester they blame his parents.
If people are living is desperate povery they blame the goverment.
If people are unhappy or misrible they blame their spouse.
If children are misbehaving they blame the teachers.
We living ina world where EVERYONE ELSE is guilty but the actual wrong doer is always innocent.
A False Proverb
Bsically this was a common saying or proverb in Israel and the meaning behind it is common to this day.
Listen to what it says: The Childrens teeth are set on edge, why?
Because the fathers ate souir grapes.
In other words: Children, why are your teeth on edge?
Because our father ate sour grapes.
Its a blame game, its not oiur fault, its our fathers fault...
Liten to God’s responce, its a long one...
Prover 18 4 down 18
This long response is simple to understand.
we have 3 generations: a Good godly man, who has a wicked evil son, who in turn has a good godly son.
In each of these 3 God did not ship blame but held each one accountible.
The first godly man shall live.
His son, was a evil robber, NOT the FAULT OF THE FATHER.
Notice that His blood shall be on him, not his father, or siocity, or the goverment, or the wife...
And then again this evil father had a son, but dispite growing up with such a wicked father, WAS NOT destined to follow in the same pattern.
He took responcibility for his life and CHOSE another path.
Now the proverb was saying: That wicked son, it was his fathers fault, but it was not, and the wicked man’s won son proved that his evil fathers action were not an excuse for his own actions and chose to live a godly life.
The point is clear: each one of these 3 men chose the life they chose, were the kinds of people they chose to be and no one else can be blamed for their own personal decision.
they must each take responcibility.
Now this is a very radical and sobering way to live, but it is the godly way to live.
Part of covering is blaming.
And the reality is that we are each to blame for our own sin, our own mistakes and our own self inflicted hardaships.
When we stand before God we will not be able to bring in any witnesses or point to others for our mistakes.
But its not just our sins that we blame, its even our miseries.
Now i say this with a reservation.
We do live in afallen world and Jesus has promised us that we will face trials, harships and tribulations in this world:
So of course many “miseries” simple come fromm,living in this fallen world.
BUT, by far, other than totally unavoidible illness, tarynical goverments, evil crimes commited by criminals and things such as these, the fast majority of our miseries are self inflicted.
You are struggeling to find a job, thats very hard in SA, but how much is really SA? Were you partieng while your peers were studing?
Did you spend your 20’s )crucial years ina our careers) getting drunk and doing drugs and things while others people your age got work experience?
Did you have unprotected sex and fall pregant or get a girl pregant and now have no way to save m oney cause it all goes on baby things because you were not financialy or relatiobly stable to heave a child yet?
Did you spend years of your life smoking and doing no excersise and now your leags are given out and you have emphsemia?
Did you nag your husband or deny him to the point that he dreaded coming home and found happoiness in the arms of nother woman?
Did you misteat your wife and neglect her and she finally gotbsicj of your nonsese and found love leswhere?
NOT PLEASE: im not saying that we have no sympathy or that we dont feel this pain or frustration - but freedom is found in admitting what WE have done and asking God for mercy.
We need to stop blaming, stp covering - and starf confessing and repenting.
