Wickedness vs. Righteousness

Genesis 38 and 39

The Sin of Onan:

1. He wanted pleasure without responsibility
2. He wanted the appearance of obedience
3. He dishonored and shamed Tamar

Why this Story?

1. Confirms the authenticity of the Bible
2. Captures the supreme power and the purpose of God
3. Contrasts walking in wickedness vs walking in righteousness

How can we walk in integrity?

1. Recognize sin for what it is
2. Recognize temptation for what it is
3. Flee from sin and Run to Christ
