Simplifying the Truth
Many churches preach that all sins are equal in the sight of God. But we don’t live like we believe it. In fact in church there are some sins that are taboo to talk about. So what does the Bible say about all this? The answer might surprise you.
Can God forget? Yes, but not in the same way we forget something and then smack our foreheads and say “Whoops! I forgot!” God’s not one to literally forget something. But the Bible says He does, so what gives? I’m so glad you asked.
What exactly is sin? And what’s the big deal? We talk about how terrible sin is in God’s eyes and Jesus died for our sin, but we don’t always explain what it is or why it’s so bad. We just know it’s bad. As always, I’m turning to the Bible for the answers.
Everyone knows Christians aren’t supposed to judge others, right? Wrong. Jesus calls us to judge others, but within certain parameters. I lay out these guidelines in this next post on the Sermon on the Mount.
In His own words, Jesus came to fulfill the law. And He calls us to fulfill the Spirit of the Law. What does that mean? In short, we’re called to a higher standard of living than the world. Take a look at what Jesus said here with me.
