Subject: I just started reading the Bible and.... |
Bible Note: Pete, I really feel like I am getting to know you, but there is no personal profile on record for you. Can you write a small paragraph to tell us on the Forum what church you attend, if you do, and where are you in your walk? When you wrote, "There are many people in the world today who do not sin." I would like to ask you to name one of them. We never have to be taught how to sin, just think if you ever saw a two-year-old scream "NO!" to its parents. I heard a sermon once where the speaker, an instructor at a Bible College, said that everyone of us breaks every one of the Ten Commandments every single day. Hearing this, a student in the front row piped up, "Professor, how could we break the commandment of keeping the Sabbath Day holy, when today is Tuesday?" The Prof responded with, "Young man, the 4th command states, 'Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God' Now, when you are sitting in your chair, goofing off when you are supposed to be learning, you are breaking the 4th Commandment!" So, do you see? The standard of God is perfect holiness. We are completely unable to ever attain that standard. We are completely insufficient to even be in God's presence without the righteousness of Christ. It would be like fire and water trying to occupy the same space. There is only one person on earth who never sinned. And that is Jesus. Amen and Lord Bless. keliy |
