Topic: Sin Defeated!
Text: Micah 7:16-20
16The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
18Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
19He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
Key Verse: “He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:19).
Message
Sin creeps in when people are not watchful. But sometimes, it sweeps in a flourished way. When sin appeared in the Garden of Eden, it overwhelmed man. God’s response was also not in stages but in total measures. He moved against it, swiftly meting out justice to the sinful Adam and his wife, Eve. The final blow was His plan to send Jesus to “bruise” the head of the devil, the source of sin. It was a once-and-for-all answer to the sin question.

Thousands of years later, God repeated His stance on transgressions through Micah, the prophet of Judah. He still detests iniquity since He is “of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity.” However, there would be pardon for those who sincerely seek mercy and make a clean break from wrongdoings.
The Lord says He would do this by casting all our sins into the “depths of the sea.” He will not deposit them by the seashore where they could find their way back into men’s lives. There will be no room for sin to flow back from the bottomless oceans. This speaks of a world order where the Prince of peace is in charge of those He has redeemed from the power of Satan and sin. Micah says this will fulfil God’s original covenant with Israel.

God’s decision to bring in the ‘seed’ of the woman to overthrow sin and the devil has been realized. He has sent His prophets and evangelists throughout the generations to remind man of His mercy and compassion, long-suffering and the need for repentance, before it is too late. God has done His part; it now remains for man to play his role by turning wholeheartedly to Jesus Christ through repentance and faith in Him

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
