TOGETHER: Do not call good what God calls sin_112403
Posted: 11/24/03
TOGETHER:
Do not call good what God calls sinI like the question, “What would Jesus do?” It helps clarify decisions we have to make every day. But many people have not studied the Bible enough to know what Jesus did.
Some who never have looked carefully at the gospels seem to have the idea that following Jesus only means being “really nice.” C.S. Lewis said, “Jesus did not come to make us nice men, but new men.”

Recently, some have claimed Jesus would not object to homosexual behavior or ordaining homosexual people to ministry. There is no question Jesus loves everyone and is willing to save those others would condemn. But this sometimes leads people to assume that Jesus blesses sin. In fact, what Jesus does is stand beside sinners to give them a vision and hope for a new way of life. Jesus loves sinners too much to encourage us to go on in our sinful ways.
