Two Most Dangerous Member of the Body of a Saved Person

There is a great danger if the eye and hand causes a saved person to sin because his whole body will inevitably be cast into hell.

• Eyes - And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.Mat 5:29

• Hand - And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Mat 5:30

Are you saved? If so, did you still look with a lust to opposite sex? Is your right hand or left hand clean from any filthy things? If you do look with a lust and has filthy hands, you are putting yourself in danger of the fire of hell.

The condition of our body is what the apostle Paul had been found about to himself and to his body, " For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing" (Rom 7:18). It means, there is a sin living and active in the members of our body such as the sin of the lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh.

True of what had said by Apostle Paul. Look at what happened to King David, he committed adultery with Bathseba, his eyes caused him to do the detestable things in the sight of God. And maybe you know the anointed televangelist named Jimmy Swaggart. Every time he preach on the pulpit, people begun to cry when he lifted the bible with his hand. But to the dismay of many Christians all over the world who watch his telecast, Jimmy Swaggart confessed in public that he was involved with a prostitute.

Those are just two example of the many man of God who plunged into sin. It proves of how big there is a possibility any saved person could lead himself to sinful acts by his own eyes and hands. In this adulterous generation, there are many Christians unaware on the sin indwelling in the member of their body.

It cannot be deny, the eyes and hand causes many professing Christians to indulge in some forms of habit of sins. Besides adultery, it causes also to commit other sins. Such as to lie, steal, boast, exaggerate, to anger-murder and into many unrighteous acts.

George Whitefield said, "After we are renewed, yet we are renewed but in part, indwelling sin continues in us, there is a mixture of corruption in every one of our duties".

No way by our own strength can we drive out the indwelling sin continues in us. We need the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit to overcome the sin living in the members of our body. To indwell the Holy Spirit in us is by only through the Word of God, because the Word is Spirit and gives life (John 6:63). We must read and meditate it day and night. While the best way to drive away and to remove the sin that lives in the member of our body is by through the surpassing of the Law.

To surpass the Law is actually the best and the most practical way to gradually remove and pluck it out the sin that lives. There is no other way; the Law is the best and practical way. Repeat, a practical way, and a very practical way anyone can do.

Read and meditate the Law, which is the Word, the statues of the Lord, which is the testimony of the Lord. Then surpass them.
