Bible Note: Dear kw5kw, You posted: “It's the small sins that will keep us --as humans-- close to God.” How is that so? Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Isaiah 59:1,2: 1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Song of Solomon 2:15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. “the little foxes; heresies and heretics are to be nipped in the bud, before they increase to more ungodliness; otherwise errors, which may seem small at first, soon grow larger and spread themselves, and become fatal to the churches:” John Gill Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. 1Corinthians 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? James 1:14, 15: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Sin separates us from God. In no way is it conceivable that sin keeps us close to God. How great our sins that they could not have been atoned for at any other price? How great His love that He would not stop short anywhere, until life itself had been resigned? He laid down His life for us. Sinning does not keep us close to God. WOS |
