5)And God saw that the
wickedness of man was great
in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts
of his heart was only evil
continually
|
GOD SAW THAT THE WICKEDNESS
OF MAN
GOD saw that man’s wickedness was
great and multiplied upon the earth,
man committed more and more acts
of wickedness, society was not
getting better, but becoming more
lawless and crime ridden, immorality
and corruption
Extreme and terrible sin became:
Ø More mean and dreadful
Ø More immoral and perverse
Ø More destructive and
terrifying
Ø More evil and devilish
Ø More fleshy and carnal
Ø More lustful and sensual
Ø More offensive and flagrant
Ø More gross and heinous
Ø More indecent and profane
The most remarkable thing
concerning the Noah days and the
flood , it was the abounding iniquity
of the wicked world, which
necessitates GOD’S wrath and his
holy resolution to destroy it with
flood
Literally all the day Man’s sinfulness is
described as universal and continuous
abundance of sin, which was
committed in all places, they were
great in quantity and frequently
committed, and that everywhere; the
immorality and all type of wickedness
universal, with all sorts of people; and
those sins in their own nature most
gross, heinous, and provoking;
AND THAT EVERY IMAGINATION OF
THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART WAS
EVIL CONTINUALLY
That man was either doing or
perpetually doing wickedness; in
GOD’S eyes, man’s heart was evil, it
was only evil, is corrupted and
contaminated and short of
perfection. that not only his actions
were dreadful, but his attitudes also ;
his very soul , his mind and thoughts
were corrupt and abominable and no
hope of amendment also, every
intention and the core is violation,
consistently and totally evil that not
only his action were detestable but
his attitude also his mind and
thought were corrupt and repulsive
Man’s heart was flooded with
thoughts and imaginations that were:
- Self-Exalting and prideful
- Self-centered and self-seeking
- Covetous and full of greed
- Bitter and hateful
- Suspicious and unbelieving
- Violent and destructive
- Sexual and immoral
But the very problem of the
civilization and society is that they
reject ,ignore rebelled against GOD,
they want their fleshy desire satisfied
and want to get all the possession
and position of this world as they
could

THE FOOL HAD SAID IN HIS HEART
THERE IS NO GOD
In his secret thought, or within
himself that there is no GOD, fools
ignore the fact that there is a GOD
and that they are accountable to
him, in their hearts, they deny the
existence of GOD, they make
deliberate decision not to accept
GOD”S revealed truth , they break
GOD’S law without fear of GOD’S
judgment, he is so hardened in sin
that it is become his interest there
should be none to call him to
account, they are destitute of true
wisdom, as devoid of reason as of
grace,
They never consider the fact that
they are going to be held accountable
for their conduct, they live as if GOD
is not watching, they profess to be
atheist, actually saying there is no
GOD
HE IS TOTALLY CORRUPT

corruption of their hearts, is rotting

wicked world of Noah’s days, a world
so violent and immoral , continually

he regularly commits such deeds that
are most distasteful and despise GOD
, they corrupt themselves with
atheist thought and wicked practice,
which is accompanied by deep
corruption
None of their actions are really and
thoroughly good or pleasing to GOD
THE LORD LOOKED DOWN FROM
HEAVEN UPON THE CHILDREN OF
MEN
GOD knows all things, and examines
all men that are born on this earth,
he observes
EVERY ONE OF THEM IS GONE BACK
every individual, beginning with
Adam and Eve, has turned away from
GOD and rejected GOD and his
righteous laws and all have turn to
walk in different direction away from
him and his Holy commandments,
which makes all of us guilty, they are
not involved in doing good not even
one, that do any good deeds, we all
live as wickedly as we are capable ,
for all have fall short of the glory of
GOD
(ROMANS 3:23 we must goto GOD
through JESUS CHRIST with our whole
hearts, earnestly, diligently,
constantly

JEREMIAH 17:9
|
9)The heart is deceitful
above all things, and
desperately wicked: who can
know it?
10)I the LORD searches the
Heart, I try the reins, even to
give every man according to
his ways, and according to
the fruit of his doings
|
THE HEART IS DECEITFUL AND
WICKED
GOD makes it clear why we sin, it is a
matter of the heart is incline towards
sin , put a cheat, lies and , fraudulent,
stubborn, the source of idolatry, from
the time we are born, the heart is the
inner being of a person and includes
one’s desires, its desperately evil and
corrupt as a result ,people turn to
selfishness instead of GODs way of
righteousness,.
The corrupt human mind is beyond
cure and cannot be changed by it self,
the only remedy is to experience
GOD’S grace, by being born of the
spirit regenerated through faith in
JESUS CHRIST and receive a new
heart and Spirit EZEKIEL 36:266
THE LORD SEARCH THE HEART
Only GOD searches the heart , he
knows every thought, intent,
purposes, designs, devices and
imagination all the secret motives of
it, and the wickedness that is in it, the
heart cannot deceive him as it is
deceitful, because he judges not
according to outward appearance.
He tries the most inward parts,
covered with fat, and out of sight:
which is the seat of affection, the
LORD tries these, whether they are
towards him or not; and whether
sincere or hypocritical, to give every
man according to his ways and
according to the fruits of his doing

8)And immediately when
JESUS perceived in his spirit
that they so reasoned within
themselves, he said unto
them, why reason ye these
things in your hearts

to sick of the palsy, thy sins
are forgiven thee; or to say,
Arise, and take up thy bed
and walk

JESUS PERCEIVED IN HIS SPIRIT
JESUS perceive his spirit their
reasoning , he knows their thoughts
which was divine, and by his divine
capability he pervading and
penetrated and then revealed to
them their thoughts and counsels of
their hearts
It is evidence of divinity of JESUS
CHRIST, he inspected their hearts,
which is the prerogative of GOD alone
to do, but by his divine nature, in and
by which he knew all things even the
most sacred thought of men’s hearts
as soon as their thoughts were
conceived in the mind of the Scribe
and Pharisees, they were perceived
by him, and he told them and said
why do you reason this things in your
hearts?
WHETHER IT IS EASIER TO SAY TO
THE SICK OF THE PALSY
Behold the evidence of the divinity
of CHRIST, observed that he knows
the thought and perceive the
direction they were moving, their7
feelings was no doubt this: it is easy
thing to claim the power of forgiving
sin , since this is a power which
cannot be challenge by any out ward
sign.
I will now give you the evidence that
I have power not only to forgive sin
but also to heal the palsied man to
take up his bed and rise, which
vindicates my power to do it as the
Messiah
