SOAK Romans 3:1-8

One of the hardest things to communicate about the gospel is the difference between accepting everyone in Christ, and giving license to every sort of behavior that you might encounter.

To put it int eh old cliche, "to love the sinner without loving the sin."

This is not a new problem.

Much of Paul's ministry emphasized the grace of God and our inability to earn salvation through good works or obeying the Old Testament Law, so he seemed to have been often accused of antinomianism. Simply put, antinomianism says that since Jesus will forgive any sins, we should just go ahead and sin. The more we sin, the more God's grace is revealed or exercised.

In extreme this idea says that since the more we sin, the more we experience God's grace in forgiveness, so we should sin more! Paul wants no part of this!

My prayer for you today, is that you would flee sin because you love Jesus.

Among my colleagues, we like to talk about the grace and the salvation. Both of those have always been good topics in our lunch. However, I always believe that we have to work on our salvation.

Anyway, we miss your blogs. =)
