I believe so many people have a thing I call moral justification. Moral justification is like this; justifying sins for a specific reason. e.g. I can have sex before marriage because God loves me no matter I do right? I can get drunk on weekends because my life really sucks and I need to drown my troubles. I can lie because if I don't, I'll hurt their feelings.
This is stupid.
This shows that we do not understand the grace given to us. Especially 'God loves me no matter what I do,' which is all too common in the world. This is double wrong and arrogant. Its wrong because, God has incredible love for us, but also incredible right anger against us. Its arrogant because it has an assumption that God is lower then us, and loves us because he has to. He loves us as a servant loves his master. We need to be reminded that we are the servants. God is the master.
All of the views show we don't understand that God has loved us so much that he sent his one and only son to save us, when we understand that, we begin to live for Jesus. We realise he's given incredible sacrifices, we can sacrifice a bit more.
The question begins to arise; am I living for Jesus, every second? Do I understand the grace given to me?
