  2. 1 John 1:9,“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

  3. DoxologyPraise God, from whom all blessings flow;Praise Him, all creatures here below;Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.—Amen.

  4. The Book of ProverbsChapter 5“Avoid the Adulteress”

  5. Prov 5:21-23The Law of Volitional Responsibility.Gal 6:7-8

  6. Gal 6:7-8, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. 8For the one who sows to his own flesh (sin nature) will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”

  7. 1. We cause our own misery and suffering.

  8. 1. We cause our own misery and suffering.2. You can never blame others for your misery and unhappiness.

  9. 3. Human volition is the source of personal sins, human good, and evil.

  10. 3. Human volition is the source of personal sins, human good, and evil. 4. All sins have natural consequences in life.

  11. 5. Volition and decision making is the source of both sins of ignorance and sins of cognizance.

  12. We are responsible for our decisions whether we understand their category or consequences.“Ignorance is no excuse for the law.”

  13. 6. The consequences are generally classified as self‑imposed, self‑induced, and self‑indulged misery, as we saw in Prov 5:9-14.

  14. Prov 22:8,“He who sows wickedness reaps trouble (Law of Volitional Responsibility), and the rod of His punishment (Divine Discipline) will surely come to him.”

  15. “Self‑imposed” - voluntarily assumed or endured.

  16. “Self‑imposed” - voluntarily assumed or endured.“Self‑induced” - willfully acquired or brought on.

  17. “Self‑indulged” - yielding to the desires and whims of oneself, especially to an excessive degree.

  18. Hos 8:7,“They who sow to the wind shall also reap the whirlwind.”

  19. Col 3:25,“For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of that wrong which he has done, and there is no partiality, (from God).”

  20. 7. The Law of V. R. applies to four categories of your life: thinking, motivation, decision making, and action.

  21. a. Self‑imposed misery is suffering caused by bad thinking and wrong motivation. It is caused by ignorance of Bible doctrine and resultant self‑deception.

  22. Bad or negative thinking or motivation includes: all wrong mental attitudes, all forms of arrogance, and everything by which you react to life in your thinking.

  23. By wrong thinking and motivation, we enter into self‑imposed misery before we make any decisions that cause self‑induced misery.

  24. Prov 11:22,“As a golden ring in a pig’s snout, so is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.”

  25. A woman can get so carried away with her beauty that she makes a lot of bad decisions in her mental attitude, and so brings on to herself self‑imposed misery.

  26. Prov 19:19,“A man of great anger will bear the penalty, for if you rescue him, you will only have to do it again.”

  27. b. Negative or wrong decisions result in self-induced misery, classified in two ways:

  28. 1) Deliberate wrong actions which bring self‑induced misery.

  29. 1) Deliberate wrong actions which bring self‑induced misery.2) Impulsive wrong actions which is self‑gratification or self-indulged misery.

  30. c. Decisions based on the following produce self-induced misery: sin, human good, evil, erroneous emotions, lust, and false teaching.

  31. Remember emotions cannot think, cannot rationalize, have no common sense.

  32. Bad judgment is caused due to lack of common sense, total disorientation to life, not knowing your limitations, and a lack of Bible Doctrine in your soul.

  33. Impulsive actions are spontaneous and impetuous and circumvent motives and decisions and generally fall back to thinking related to lust and self‑gratification from a locked‑in system of arrogance.

  34. Prov 13:20,“He who walks with the wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will receive sin / evil,(suffer harm / misery).”

  35. If you associate with the wrong crowd, you are making a decision that will cause you a tremendous amount of unhappiness!

  36. Prov 16:18,“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit (arrogance) before stumbling (a fall).”
