Subject: What is the people sin? |
Bible Note: Dear Confusing, Man is an arrogant and rebellious creature. He thinks that he can stand as a judge over God Almighty! He cannot! Job 38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding," Is 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. The apostle Paul does not try to justify God's ways to outraged men. Instead he plainly tells them the truth about their Maker. Rom 9:19-23 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, Are you sinless Confusing? Will you be able to stand in front of a Holy God and accuse Him of unrighteousness. NO! You will not! In the purity of God's holy radiance, your filthy rags of self-righteousness will be exposed and you will be undone. The only hope that God has given sinners like you and me is Jesus Christ. God incarnate! Who suffered and died in the place of those who are called the children of God. I urge you to examine your own heart instead of God,s and pray that he will save you from the torments of eternal death. God has written in the Bible everything He wanted us to know. But He has not answered all of our questions. Accept the answers He has given you in Scripture and perhaps He will grant you faith and repentance. I pray that He will. Rom 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." May God Bless You, John |
