Bible Note: "How does one 'refrain from sin for sinful reasons'? This is interesting. Do you mean that even when unregenerate man does 'good', it is really bad? It is all bad. " Example: A rich benefactor who hates Jesus Christ giving large sums of money to charitable organizations to glorify himself. He refrains from greed in order to feed his pride. Outwardly, his deeds look good, but are not motivated by a desire to love the Lord his God with all his heart, mind, soul, strength. --Joe! |
