2 | What happens to Non-Christians? | John 14:6 | Hank | 3166 | ||
The language Jesus uses in John 14:6 is plain, clear, forthright and leaves little wiggle room. But we are disciples of the King, ambassadors for the gospel; nothing more, nothing less. God never appointed us to judge the world. That fearful and awesome responsiblity rests upon His shoulders, and His alone. We are in sales. He is in management. In his first letter to Corinth Paul addresses the subject of spiritual gifts and in 12:31 says this, "I show you a still more excellent way." Read in context the meaning is clear. He is saying that the right way to exercise all spiritual gifts is the way of love. Thus when the Christian's approach to all non-Christians -- believers in something or believers in nothing -- is with a loving heart and a sincere and humble attitude that says quietly, "Please, if I may, let me show you what I have found and have come to believe is a more excellent way." No bigotry. No assertions that my God is better than your God. No condemnation. No judgment ... But it could be asked, "Isn't the Bible often judgmental?" The answer, of course, is Yes, it is. Does that give us the authority to be judgmental also? No, it doesn't. We have every right and reason to condemn sin, in ourselves and others. We have no right to condemn sinners. Hank | ||||||
