Under Gods Command
Romans 3:5-8 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner? Why not say as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result” Their condemnation is deserved.
Some may think they don’t have to worry about sin because
- It’s God’s job to forgive
- God is so loving that he won’t judge us
- Sin isn’t so bad-it teaches us valuable lessons, or
- We need to stay in touch with the culture around us.
Lets Bring it Home: It is for too easy to take God’s grace for granted. But God cannot overlook sin. Sinners, no matter how many excuses they make, will have to answer to God for their sin.
