The Worst Sin
““You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.””
Exodus 20:17 NKJV
The worst sin that few ever preach or teach on…
Covetousness
– Satan coveted God’s position, prestige, & power.
– When tempted, Adam & Eve coveted forbidden knowledge.
– Covetousness leads to theft, lying, jealousy, hatred, murder, sexual immorality, and idolatry.
Unthankfulness & discontentment with God’s authority, character, & provision is the root of covetousness.
Humility, thankfulness, & contentment with God the Father & Christ Jesus is the only solution.
“Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”
I Timothy 6:6-7 NKJV
