still here @ Ngee Ann City!
Was doing my QT and came past this intriguing and interesting passage in Romans, written by Apostle Paul, I need your opened heart in this:
Romans 3:5-8
"But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?" Why not say - as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say - "Let us do evil that good may result"? Their condemnation is deserved."
what I perceive from this passage is:
a self-righteous and smart-aleck person will say, in layman's term: "i do more sin good waddd... i so bad then God so good, then ppl compare God and me, can see so much differrrlllence, then ppl will think God is great, then in this way i can honour Him mahhh.... Hor?! Then how come i will kena punished for doing this glory for God neh?"
As i examine the passage, God is trying to tell us that we shouldn't use 'sinning' as an excuse and think that sin is okay if committed again and again and take God's grace for granted. There's no such thing as postive-sin! Sin itself, be it small or BIG, it's still a sin, that very sin and disobedience to God that caused mankind to fall... The very sin that caused us to be exiled out of Garden of Eden and to live in this temporal world, the very sin that caused us to feel unfit to serve God, or even to turn our backs against Him. So don't even dare to say that we're sinning for the right reason and purpose...
I realise Apostle Paul's writings is very straight-to-the-point, aggressively trueful, never beating around the bush, this is what I like about Paul!
I pray that I would not fall into this category of sin! AMEN!
