Subject: What is a repentance from dead works? |
Bible Note: Mommapbs, I think this is something we must all gard against in many ways. We tend not to think about sins of omission as much as we do trying to avoid sins of comission. Like the rich man, we thing we are doing fine if we do not abuse the beggar at our door, but we still sin by ignoring his need. The rich man never bothered Lazaraus. Ever heard the phrase, "he won't hurt you, but he won't help you either" used to describe someone? Makes me think of Jesus says, "because you are neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out." |
