The wages of sin is death

But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans6:23

When we become sick or dis-eased that is incipient death [or the beginning of death]. Right away a red flag should go up. [Lord, what have I done] Prayer is in order. James5:13-16.

Reckon yourselves dead unto sin

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Likewise reckon [count,compute,calculate,count over] ye also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Neither yield ye your members as instuments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

For sin SHALL NOT have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans6;7-14.

Jesus will guide us into all truth.

Sin

Sin is sin. As Christians we should not bash those who are living in sin but rather pray for them. For we ourselves were in sin but by the grace of God he saved us. Sin means to miss the mark and not share in the prize.

When you see sin [for example homosexuality] that is the result of God giving them over to a reprobate mind [not thinking of them any more]. Their sin is the result of that. Should not we cry out to God to think on them[for the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance]Romans2:4. If we do not pray for them who will? God have mercy on us that we obey him. If He finds ten righteous would'nt he spare our country? Now more then ever should'nt we seek guidance from Jesus?

Professing themselves to be wise they became fools. Romans1:22-32.
