• in the world?

2. How should I react to those same sins in the
world?

How does God react to sin in the world?
Gen 65-7 - The Lord saw how great man's
wickedness on the earth had become, and that
every inclination of the thoughts of his heart
was only evil all the time. The Lord was grieved
that he had made man on the earth, and his heart
was filled with pain. So the Lord said, "I will
wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face
of the earth for I am grieved that I have made
them."
Isa 1311-13 - I will punish the world for its
evil, and the wicked for their iniquity I will
also put an end to the arrogance of the proud,
and abase the haughtiness of the ruthlessI shall
make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be
shaken from its place. At the fury of the Lord
of hosts in the day of His burning anger.
Heb 915,22 - Christ is the mediator of a new
covenant, that those who are called may receive
the promised eternal inheritance-now that he has
died as a ransom to set them free from the sins
committed under the first covenantwithout the
shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Zech 817 - Let none of you devise evil in your
heart against another, and do not love perjury
for all these are what I hate,' declares the Lord.
Ezek 1820 - The person who sins will die.the
wicked-ness of the wicked will be upon himself.
Isa 535-6 - But He was pierced through for our
trans-gressions, He was crushed for our
iniquities the chas-tening for our well-being
fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are
healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way but the
Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on
Him
2 Thess 17-9 - the Lord Jesus shall be revealed
from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming
fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not
know God and to those who do not obey the gospel
of our Lord Jesus. And these will pay the penalty
of eternal destruction, away from the presence of
the Lord and from the glory of His power.

How should I react to those same sins in
the world?
Ps 9710 - Let those who love the Lord hate evil
Matt 514-16 - You are the light of the world. A
city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do
people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives
light to everyone in the house. In the same way,
let your light shine before men, that they may
see your good deeds and praise your Father in
heaven.
Rom 1013-15 - Everyone who calls on the name of
the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call
on the one they have not believed in? And how can
they believe in the one of whom they have not
heard? And how can they hear without someone
preaching to them? And how can they preach
unless they are sent? As it is writ-ten, "How
beautiful are the feet of those who bring good
news!"
Eph 611-18 - Put on the full armor of God so
that you can take your stand against the devil's
schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh
and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full
armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes,
you may be able to stand your ground, and after
you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm
then, with the belt of truth buckled around your
waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in
place, and with your feet fitted with the
readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In
ad-dition to all this, take up the shield of
faith, with which you can extinguish all the
flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet
of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which
is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all
occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind, be alert and always keep on
praying for all the saints.
Ps 119104 - From your precepts I get
understanding therefore I hate every false way.
Ps 13921-22 - Do I not hate those who hate you,
O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them I count them
my enemies.
Eph 58-12 - You were once darkness, but now you
are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
(for the fruit of the light consists in all
goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out
what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with
the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather
expose them. For it is shameful even to mention
what the disobedient do in secret.
Prov 813 - To fear the Lord is to hate evil I
hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and
perverse speech
Prov 135 - The righteous hate what is false.
Amos 515 - Hate evil, love good maintain
justice in the courts. Perhaps the Lord God
Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
2 Tim 42-3 - Preach the Word be prepared in
season and out of season correct, rebuke and
encourage-with great patience and careful
instruction. For the time will come when men will
not put up with sound doctrine.
Rom 129 - Hate what is evil cling to what is
good.
Rev 26 Ephesusyou have this in your favor
you hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which
I also hate

How Should I react to all the sin that I
cant do anything about?
1 Cor 59-11 - I wrote you in my letter not to
asso-ciate with immoral people I did not at all
mean with the immoral people of this world, or
with the cove-tous and swindlers, or with
idolaters for then you would have to go out of
the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to
associate with any so-called brother if he should
be an immoral person, or cove-tous, or an
idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a
swindler not even to eat with such a one.
Rom 1312-14 - The night is nearly over the day
is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of
darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us
behave decent-ly, as in the daytime, not in
orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality
and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus
Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the
desires of the sinful nature.
2 Cor 614-17 - Do not be bound together with
un-believers for what partnership have
righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship
has light with dark-ness? Or what harmony has
Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in
common with an unbeliever? Or what agreement has
the temple of God with idols? For we are the
temple of the living God just as God said
"come out from their midst and be separate,"
says the Lord. "And do not touch what is
unclean And I will welcome you.
1 Cor 1533-34 - Do not be misled "Bad company
corrupts good character." Come back to your
senses as you ought, and stop sinning
James 44-5 - You adulterous people, don't you
know that friendship with the world is hatred
toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of
the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you
think Scripture says without reason that the
spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?
