The one true God is no longer good enough because within his framework we discover limits, boundaries and expectations. The modern day approach is that if it feels good we should have the right to divulge as we see fit. “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil,” John 3:19.
Society’s favorite comeback is ‘don’t judge me’ in order to dodge accountability while others respond by testifying ‘only God can judge me’ without having a clue about God’s judgment as outlined in scripture. We are to call one another to accountability, and sharpen one another through fellowship, “so watch yourselves! If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance – forgive,” Luke 17:3.
Granted, God’s mercy and forgiveness expands far beyond our comprehension. He is a God of clemency, but people purposefully forget and even deny that He is also a God of wrath and judgment. His anger is righteous anger – scripture embodies condemnation for those who do not repent and turn away from their sinful habits. Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God (Romans 12:2; Matthew 3:8). Those who believe and repent become heirs in the kingdom of God (Romans 8:17).
