When you and I look at sins, as Christians, it almost seems unfair. We love that the sacrament is there and that our all loving God forgives us of whatever we may do. If I have 3 one-night-stands in my life and you have 300, and we are both sorry, we both get forgiven. So you get to have sex hundreds of times and I only get to a few times and we get the same treatment; complete forgiveness? This is a natural feeling and way to think. Look at what you are saying…the person who sins more, who breaks down his relationship with our Lord more, who leads others into sins more, who has the demon of lust on his heart, who puts his safety at risk more, and who has no dignity for his body is the one we envy…the one we wish we could be like.
We have to get this idea of immediate pleasure being a good thing out of our minds. It may feel right, but then again, OUR FEELINGS MAY BE WRONG. We say well, I don’t believe in this or I don’t feel this way. Well guess what? It DOES NOT MATTER how YOU feel. No one cares how YOU personally feel about a social issue.
That is the beauty of The Holy Bible. We don’t have to guess and trust our self-righteous feelings because it is spelled out what is truth.
Then people say “well I think God loves me no matter what.” Yes, God loves us no matter what…you, me, and everyone. Now lets move past that childish response and ask ourselves some serious questions.
We need to ask ourselves things if we are going to call ourselves followers and I will give an example. I call myself Christian AND pro choice. These cannot both be true yet it is said all too often.
I leave you with this thought… what does God think of me because I call myself his follower?
May you grow in the love of Jesus Christ forever.
