Sin Is Spiritual Cancer!

There Is Only One Cure: Jesus Christ

Cancer is one of the most feared words in medicine. It often begins with a single abnormal cell that multiplies silently and spreads throughout the body before symptoms even appear. If ignored, it ravages healthy tissue and organs, leading to physical death.

The Bible teaches that sin operates exactly like this in the spiritual realm. It seldom announces itself loudly at first. It can start with a small act of disobedience, a bitter thought, or a secret compromise. Left alone, it grows and spreads, poisoning the mind, searing the conscience, fracturing families, and driving people further from God.

The apostle Paul put it plainly in Romans 6:23 (TLB): “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The ultimate outcome of untreated spiritual cancer is eternal death—separation from God forever.

Human remedies are powerless against it. No amount of moral effort, education, or religious observance can remove the root of sin. There is only one cure, and His name is Jesus Christ. He is the Great Physician who came to earth for the spiritually sick and dying. He willingly took our cancer upon Himself.

The prophet Isaiah described it centuries earlier: “But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed—and we were healed!” (Isaiah 53:5 TLB).

When a person repents of sin and places simple faith in Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection, something miraculous happens. The cancer is gone. The record of sin is wiped clean. A new heart is given, and the person becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17 TLB).

This is not behavior modification; it is heart transformation and the gift of eternal life.

Those who have already been healed by Christ still need the daily “medicine” of God’s Word, prayer, and fellowship with other believers to stay strong and prevent sin from regaining any foothold, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The question for every person is urgent: Have you received the only cure for your spiritual cancer?

Jesus offers it freely—no appointment necessary, no payment required. Turn to Him in faith today. Sin is spiritual cancer. Jesus Christ is the only cure. Receive Him and live—now and forever.

Amen!

A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:

1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!

²Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.

³Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

⁴Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.

⁵Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;

^{6 H}e established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.

PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

Chapter 24 in Proverbs for today: (JUNE 24 (MT) (ESV)

24 Be not envious of evil men,
nor desire to be with them,
²for their hearts devise violence,
and their lips talk of trouble.

³By wisdom a house is built,
    and by understanding it is established;
⁴by knowledge the rooms are filled
    with all precious and pleasant riches.
⁵A wise man is full of strength,
    and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
⁶for by wise guidance you can wage your war,
    and in abundance of counselors there is victory.
⁷Wisdom is too high for a fool;
    in the gate he does not open his mouth.

⁸Whoever plans to do evil
will be called a schemer.
⁹The devising^[a] of folly is sin,
and the scoffer is an abomination to mankind.

¹⁰If you faint in the day of adversity,
    your strength is small.
¹¹Rescue those who are being taken away to death;
    hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
¹²If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
    does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
    and will he not repay man according to his work?

¹³My son, eat honey, for it is good,
    and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
¹⁴Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
    if you find it, there will be a future,
    and your hope will not be cut off.

¹⁵Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous;
do no violence to his home;
¹⁶for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,
but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

¹⁷Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
¹⁸lest the Lord see it and be displeased,
and turn away his anger from him.

¹⁹Fret not yourself because of evildoers,
and be not envious of the wicked,
²⁰for the evil man has no future;
the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

²¹My son, fear the Lord and the king,
and do not join with those who do otherwise,
²²for disaster will arise suddenly from them,
and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?

More Sayings of the Wise

²³These also are sayings of the wise.

Partiality in judging is not good.
²⁴Whoever says to the wicked, “You are in the right,”
    will be cursed by peoples, abhorred by nations,
²⁵but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight,
    and a good blessing will come upon them.
²⁶Whoever gives an honest answer
    kisses the lips.

²⁷Prepare your work outside;
get everything ready for yourself in the field,
and after that build your house.

²⁸Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause,
and do not deceive with your lips.
²⁹Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me;
I will pay the man back for what he has done.”

³⁰I passed by the field of a sluggard,
    by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,
³¹and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
    the ground was covered with nettles,
    and its stone wall was broken down.
³²Then I saw and considered it;
    I looked and received instruction.
³³A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest,
³⁴and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
    and want like an armed man.

Proverbs 24:9 Or scheming

CHAPTER 31 ISAIAH for today: (JUNE 24 (JJ) (ESV)

31 Woe^[a] to those who go down to Egypt for help
    and rely on horses,
who trust in chariots because they are many
    and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel
    or consult the Lord!
²And yet he is wise and brings disaster;
    he does not call back his words,
but will arise against the house of the evildoers
    and against the helpers of those who work iniquity.
³The Egyptians are man, and not God,
    and their horses are flesh, and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,
    the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall,
    and they will all perish together.

⁴For thus the Lord said to me,
“As a lion or a young lion growls over his prey,
    and when a band of shepherds is called out against him
he is not terrified by their shouting
    or daunted at their noise,
so the Lord of hosts will come down
    to fight^[b] on Mount Zion and on its hill.
⁵Like birds hovering, so the Lord of hosts
    will protect Jerusalem;
he will protect and deliver it;
    he will spare and rescue it.”

⁶Turn to him from whom people^[c] have deeply revolted, O children of Israel. ⁷For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have sinfully made for you.

⁸“And the Assyrian shall fall by a sword, not of man;
    and a sword, not of man, shall devour him;
and he shall flee from the sword,
    and his young men shall be put to forced labor.
⁹His rock shall pass away in terror,
    and his officers desert the standard in panic,”
declares the Lord, whose fire is in Zion,
    and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

Revelation 03

for today: (JUNE 24 (NN) ESV)

3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

“‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. ²Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. ³Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. ⁴Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. ⁶He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

To the Church in Philadelphia

⁷“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.

⁸“‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. ⁹Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. ¹⁰Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. ¹¹I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. ¹²The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. ¹³He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

To the Church in Laodicea

¹⁴“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation.

¹⁵“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! ¹⁶So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. ¹⁷For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. ¹⁸I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. ¹⁹Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. ²⁰Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. ²¹The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. ²²He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
