“But God demonstrates his love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
Yesterday’s meditation asserted, “one of the most dangerous and hateful things we can do is to celebrate and affirm what the Bible calls sin.”
If the Bible is true and if God is truly God, then celebrating and affirming sin makes it impossible for sinners to repent. And when sinners don’t repent, sinners will never be saved.
The most tragic thing about all of this is that God has already made a way for sinners to be saved. God sent his Son to die for sinners. That is great news! That is the most amazing news our world has ever heard.
The reason why this is such good news is because we are sinners. And if we are sinners, and there is a God who has made a way for sinners to be saved, then that is tremendous news!
And, that’s just the thing. The starting point is to agree that we are all sinners in need of a savior. In a world that clamors and demands that we affirm and celebrate sin, declaring that we are sinners in need of a savior is frowned upon.
But, Christian, whether it is frowned upon or not, it is true. Not only is this true, this is the greatest news in the history of the world!
Let the world know that Christ is Savior!
Let the world know what God has done for sinners in Jesus!
