John Collins, Evangelist: Sin and sinner
 |
| Sin happens, we have the hope of repentance with salvation Pastor John Collins |
The phrase "hate the sin, not the sinner" is
not a direct biblical quote, but it is the message that Jesus taught as He
found His way among the people of Israel over two thousand years ago. Sin
is what is needed to let go of, to try to avoid. We will all sin, we will
never be perfect. It is our choice and our work to strive to be perfect,
to be like Christ, to overcome our nature that matters to Jesus and to
God. That is why we ask for forgiveness daily, and work to overcome our
shortcomings.
From John Collins Ministries:
Hate the sin and not the sinner is all well and good to do
but a sinner who continues in his sin without repentance and submission to the
will of God through
the salvation of Christ will eventually be judged as an enemy of God.
It has become easy to say that Jesus was the
only perfect one and therefore there could never be any expectation for anyone
else to live up to those standards although Jesus Himself said to be
perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. It has also been noted
that Jesus would
be hanging out with the sinners and not with the righteous if He were to be
here today and although that is true He definitely would not be hanging out
with them to condone their sin but to heal them and to help lead them to
righteousness in order to provide them with salvation.
Salvation does not come packaged with an acceptance of
sin. God may
have mercy and love for His people but He definitely does not have an enabling
heart and He does not reward rebellion. He is slow to wrath and longsuffering
but eventually His perfect and righteous judgment will fall on all and everyone
will receive what they deserve.
It is time to stop making excuses by just saying that we are
all sinners because Jesus knows, God knows
and every sinner knows that they can do better, be better and can influence
others to do the same. Righteousness is very achievable in life and begins with
humility and a willingness to sacrifice. Each person chooses their destination
in the end and it is necessary that the standards of God begin to be met because there has been too much loss of
souls already and it just doesn’t have to be that way. It matters what you do
here on earth and it is possible to go to heaven, you just have to want that more than you want to
enjoy your existence while you are here and you have to want to obey God and know that He is right more than you have to want to
be right yourself.
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares
for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV).
