Does one have to approve of the sin?
I’m amazed at how my Lord and Savior’s Name is trotted out in the name of tolerance. His Name is used to justify anything from illegal emmigration to homosexuality. “If JESUS were alive today, He’d say homosexual marriage is OK.” “If JESUS were alive today, He’d say that illegal emmigration is OK.” And so on and on and on with such drivel.
I’ve got knews for folks. Jesus the Christ is VERY MUCH ALIVE today and He’s NOT in favor of either homosexual “marriage” nor illegal emmigration. He WOULD love those who are engaged in those activities – along with all the folks who are sinning in other ways too – but He would not approve of what they do.
Have you not read what He said to the woman who was committing adultery? He said “Go, and sin no more.” He loved HER – but hated the sin and told her to no longer transgress. And the same on other occasions as well. Always “Go, and sin no more.”
This is the call He makes today. For us to go about our lives – but without the sin that so easily entangles us. Do we have to approve of the sin in order to display love to the sinner? Not according to my Lord and Savior!
