Bible Note: Nick, Brother, he is already isolated! It is essential that he be made aware of his sin! If one is blinded to their sin, how is it possible to have a repentant heart? What need would one find for forgiveness if they are not aware of the sin in their life and the desperate situation they are in? He needs to be aware of his sin and be made aware that God not only exercises lovingkindness and righteousness, but also JUSTICE! And he delight’s in these things (Jeremiah 9:24)! It is a watered down gospel we teach if we fail to point out the sinfulness of man. It serves to dilute His grace and glory. It is written, the Spirit of God comes as a helper (John 16:7) to convict the world of sin and righteousness and judgment (John 16:8)! If he comes to convict the world of sin, why would we His people shy away from pointing this out to those who are in danger of the wrath of God? Certainly this does not honor God. Steve |
