GOD’S DESCRIPTION OF LOVE, Part 3
Love is not puffed up with the yeast of our own prideful reasonings.
The love of God does not leave sin unjudged. Sin is not something that, under the guise of love, should be tolerated and accepted in the Christian family or the church.
God judged all our sins with the crucifixion of His sinless and only Beloved Son. God forgave us all our sins through the terrible judgment that Jesus Christ vicariously bore in our place on that rugged cross.
Jesus Christ now lives in us by His spirit to give us the victory over all sin. Every type of sin that seeks to dominate our lives must be judged for what it is. Sin is sin whether it was before we became a Christian or after we became a Christian.
If God calls all wrong-doing sin, so should we.
Even though sin was judged at the cross, it is still sin if we continue in it.
Romans 6:1, 2: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any loner therein?”
We must examine ourselves and judge our actions before we partake of the Lord’s Supper lest we eat and drink damnation to ourselves. 1 Corinthians 11:29, 30 says: “For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.”
God’s amazing grace does not cover a lifestyle of unrepentant sin.
Much of the church is under a false grace that permits sin to be unjudged and unrepented of, both in our homes and in the churches.
To be continued.
Be encouraged.
