Bible Question:
In Bible study tonight we were talking about feeling absent from God when we sin. I said, "That is because we know we are wrong, and we pull away from God in our guilt and shame" The instructor said "No, it is because God turns His back on you." I have a real problem with that statement. Is it true? Will God turn His back on you for sin? When he said that, it gave me a hopeless feeling. I love God with all my heart, but we ALL sin. |
Bible Answer: Greetings saucybrat! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! I think Paul had a much different view then your instructor does. What passage of scripture did your instructor point to as proof of the teaching? See Paul's view below. Romans 8:28-39 (NASB) 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 8:30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 8:33 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; 8:34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED." 8:37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
