Subject: Justification for non-Christian Living?? |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, Granted, there are some in the body of Christ who have been given the gift of discernment. My question is, what do we do with those "tares" that we find in our midsts? Shall we stone them? By the way, there are people in the body of Christ who claim to have the gift of discernment in order to legitimize their own wicked activities. Mercifully, the Lord did not grant me that gift of the spirit, so I am left to follow our Lord's example, instead. Though Jesus knew that Judas was "a devil", He still taught him along with the other disciples and even washed his feet. Heaven only knows how many "devils" the Lord blesses through our obedience to His will. Jesus did not come into the world, the first time, to judge anyone (John 3:17). However, when He returns it will be to judge (and the saints with Him) in complete fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah (see Isaiah 61). For now obedience to the Lord's command to "love your neighbors as yourself" is a daunting enough task, all by itself. But, glory to God, we don't have to do that in our own strength. love in Christ! prazn |
