What is the most common sin that causes people to be lost and go to hell? Have you ever thought about that? When men go to prison, they often share with other inmates why they are there. Do you know the number 1 reason for incarceration? Drugs. Second is guns and third is violent crime. But what is the most common cause for people to be lost? What sin? I would say “unbelief” is #1. But unbelief has different forms – and one of the most deadly forms is the sin of presumption. Jesus said that many will come to him on the last day and say, “Lord, Lord” – and they will point to all the good things they’ve done in Jesus’ name. And He will say, “depart from me, I never knew you.” They were guilty of the sin of presumption. They presumed their religious beliefs, and their religious actions would be  sufficient to save them – and they presumed wrong. This was the reason Israel was lost. They presumed their ethnic pedigree and their attempts at keeping the law of Moses was all that was necessary for eternal life. And they presumed wrong.
