DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Twisted Logic
Romans 3:5-8
"But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world? For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I still judged as a sinner? And why not say, 'Let us do evil that good many come'? ... Their condemnation is just."
It is twisted logic that thinks that the more sin I commit, the more God is glorified because my sin only shows God's holiness and gives Him opportunity to manifest His graciousness. Should God be grateful and overlook my sin just because He is holy and gracious? How absurd! Yet people violate God's truth and depend on His grace because it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission when they want to sin. Jesus said, "Do no tempt the Lord your God" (Luke 4:12). I am tempting God's grace when I deliberately violate His truth because I know He will forgive. God would be unjust if He did not condemn sin, even though it demonstrates His glory.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: To think that I can glorify God by sinning is stinkin' thinkin'.
Have a logical day. Love you.
