Sin has consequences.
My son and I needed to go to the bank to sort out some things, but then Mrs. Alder decided to tag along. She needed to get some things from the supermarket.
I soon found myself at Waitrose, gazing longingly at banned substances – ice cream, popsicles, chocolate bars, and decadent cakes. They were winking at me. I watched helplessly as Mrs Alder picked seaweed snacks instead. Who in his right mind eats seaweed instead of chocolate?! Shouldn’t the word “weed” be a warning?
I was asked to weigh in on choice of Basmati rice. She had two types in her hands. As I looked at the two packets, I surmised one would weigh more than the other, but the one that weighed more may not necessarily contain more grains of rice.
Reminds me of the difference between weight and mass in physics. Mass is the number of grains of rice in each packet. Weight is the downward push of each packet in her hands. In other words, weight is determined by gravity. Because gravity is weaker on the moon, for example, everything weighs less than on earth, but mass doesn’t change. The number of rice grains remains the same no matter the location.
That is an analogy of the difference between morality and righteousness. Righteousness is the amount of God stuff in you. It doesn’t change no matter what. It is constant.
Moral quotient, on the other hand, is variable. It is determined by the weight of sin in each life. Salvation is not based on morality. No one can meet the sinless standard. It’s by grace.
Don’t confuse morality with righteousness. If you sin, simply ask God for forgiveness and move on. Your righteousness doesn’t change. In the New Testament, righteousness is not earned. It’s imputed. That doesn’t mean you abuse grace. Sin has consequences.
Thank You Jesus,
Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
