God’s Love In Action
Sin Is Disunity with God
“No one gets to choose what’s sinful and what’s not except for God. He has the full authority on morality.”
~ Abby Johnson
Correct.
It’s not so much that God chooses what is sinful or not, as much as disunity with Him is sin and causes death… Physical and spiritual.
God is the Author, Sustainer and Source of Life, therefore anything we do outside of His will separates us from that Life. The natural result is death, just as unplugging any device from an outlet would cause it to stop functioning.
Two Different Gods
I find that people in the church tend to get a little too wrapped up in their version of God; sometimes to the point where when a conflict (or multiple conflicts) arises between what they THINK they know of who YHWH is and who He reveals Himself to be in Scripture arise, they choose the version they’ve got in their minds instead…
Actionable Love Begins with Actionable Faith
Let me ask, how many times as a Christian have you had a good idea, and acted on it, hoping that God will bless your efforts because it’s a nice idea, only for it fizzle… or worse, for it to blow up in your face?
Did you know that as a Christian, it’s not just enough to do Christiany things once you are saved? Jesus warned that many will come to Him in the end pleading with Him, telling Him about all these wonderful things they did in His name, but He will sadly tell them that He never knew them and to depart from His presence! That should sober any churchgoer who thinks that their eternity is secure.
