In ONE word; What is the greatest Sin? There are many Sins listed in the Scripture. But what one summarizes all of them? Read the following passages for a clue.
Matthew 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Mark 6:6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. Mark 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? Romans 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; Romans 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Romans 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. Romans 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Romans 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 1 Timothy 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Hebrews 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. Hebrews 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
The Apostle Paul reminds Believers in the Lord Jesus how we are to walk in this life. To the Roman Believers: Walk in the steps of that faith Romans 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. Walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Walk after the Spirit. Romans 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Walk honestly Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. To the Corinthian Believers: Don’t Walk as carnal men. 1 Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? Walk as Godly men. 1 Corinthians 7:17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. Walk by faith 2 Corinthians 5:7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Yes, we are in the flesh, but walk with the Spirit 2 Corinthians 10:3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: To the Galatian Believers: Walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Galatians 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Are there Sins not covered in the 10 commandments? 1-Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2-Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 3-Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4-Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 5-Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 6-Thou shalt not kill. 7-Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8-Thou shalt not steal. 9-Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 10-Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s. Yes—there are sins not explicitly named in the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are a short list of core obligations (mainly about worshiping God and basic duties toward others). Most other sins—like anger, cruelty, deceit, gluttony, envy, and many forms of unfaithfulness—aren’t singled out as separate commandments there, though many are addressed elsewhere in the Bible (and the Ten Commandments function more like principles that imply broader moral boundaries). The Apostle Paul WARNS Believers of these: Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Ephesians 4:31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,filthy communication out of your mouth. Colossians 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
The Apostle Paul has a lot to say about Prayer and Praying. Things that He prayed about and Prayer requests he had for the believers. Mainly, believers should pray about everything. Some of what Paul instructs: The Spirit helps us to pray. Romans 8:26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Always in Prayer Romans 12:12Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;Ephesians 6:18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Not to worry, just keep it in prayer. Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. And to Timothy, he wrote1 Timothy 2:8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God already knows everything and is just looking for our Faith which is demonstrated by our prayers. Did Paul know about all that would befall him as he went forth? The beatings, Being Stoned, The shipwrecks 2 Corinthians 11:25 Many times events happen that we are not able to pray about, which is why we should Pray without ceasing. God already knows about everything … What He wants from us is FAITH in HIM!
Happy – feeling or showing pleasure or contentment
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:… Psalm 127:5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, Psalm 128:2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Psalm 137:8-9 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. Psalm 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. Psalm 146:5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. Proverbs 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. Proverbs 14:21He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. Proverbs 16:20He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. Proverbs 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. Proverbs 29:18Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
Romans 14:22Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. Happiness is found in the Lord.

Twelve tests for making a moral decision: (When I doubt, ask …)
Twelve tests for making a moral decision: (When I doubt, ask …) Will it make me a better Christian? Will it influence others to be better? Will it bring about desirable results? Will it help or hinder others? Will it make me morally stronger or weaker? Will it bring honor to my family? Suppose everybody did it? Is it forbidden in the Word of God? Is it a waste of God-endowed talents? Is it good common sense? Is it motivated by self love or love of Christ? Would I be willing for my family and friends to know about it?
