<TITLE>04. Par -</TITLE>L-649-16 And talking to--in the room yesterday where some young Christians was, I said, "If you were standing out here on the road and a car was coming down the road at ninety miles an hour out of control, you would get off that highway as quick as you could. You'd jump, slide, do anything, get out of the way of that car." And that's the way that sin should be to a Christian, because sin is associated with death. And as soon as you see sin in any form, jump from it, get away from it. I don't care what you have to do, get away from the very appearance of evil. Because remember, to associate with sin is death. Just the same as standing there and let that car strike you.
Don't just wait and see what it'll do; get out of the way of it. The very appearance of evil, shun it quickly. When you see a temptation coming up, and sin... You know, if it's something wrong, that death is lurking after you. See? Then get away from it just as quick as you would get away from a--an automobile approaching at ninety miles an hour. See? You'd--you'd want to get away from it right quick, out of the way. Jump, slide, run any way, just get away from it.

L-650-18 And how that we know that we have Life, is because that we hate sin. And we hate sin so bad, that we know that death's associated there, and we shun the very appearance of it. Any way we can get away from it, we jump, run, anything that we can do to keep away from sin, because sin has death in it. And we sure don't want to associate anything in death. We want to keep away from that.
So I thought that would be a good little thought. It struck me yesterday talking to these Christians; and I thought that would be good to pass to the church this morning, especially while the young people are setting here and undergo--undergo such temptations as that.

L-650-20 And then, I believe a question, if we can only get to it down here, something another associated in that also... And just remember that anything that is sinful, death lays right there. And when you're partaking of that sin, you're partaking of death. So stay away from it.
And what is sin? Unbelief. Uh-huh. Stay away from all unbelief, anything that disregards the Bible. Anything that disregards God's Word, stay away from it. And if I get through these in time before I have my healing service, I want to speak a little bit on that, disrespects.

L-650-22 Now, before we answer the questions or try to attempt it, let us pray. Our heavenly Father, we come into Thy Presence this morning, in the Name of Jesus, claiming that we have disassociated ourselves with the things of the world, which it is said by Him, that you cannot serve God and mammon, meaning the world; we either hate one and love the other or love one and hate the other.
And we believe this morning that we are associated with Eternal Life as we accept Jesus Christ by faith and have the evidence of the Holy Spirit living in our lives guiding us. We are so grateful for this, that when we see sin no matter how mild, how pretty it might look, there's something within us makes us jump, keep away from it, just as the illustration I gave about the car coming at a terrific speed. We don't want to be caught anywhere in the--sin. Keep away from it.
