…but god Romans 3: 5-8
Transcript
“But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking from a human viewpoint.) Far from it! For otherwise, how will God judge the world? But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner? And why not say (just as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let’s do evil that good may come of it”? Their condemnation is deserved.”
Romans 3:5-8 NASB2020
Eat, Drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. That statement is what these verses reminds me of. We are saved so let’s do whatever we want. Paul calls those people out as frauds, they are not true followers of Christ. Paul explains that they are condemned. They might as well be Nihilist. The definition of Nihilism is basically, Scientific Materialism. A Civilization that sees physical matter as the only reality, and ultimately a life without meaning. A civilization where people think all people are merely “stellar dust in a cold universe”. (Ben Shapiro.) Ultimately the people that think like this become Civilization’s without Judeo/Christian Values! They were no better than the Atheist. This type of thinking in the extreme’s led to Nazism and Communism.
However, for true followers of Christ, who seek to do His will there is no condemnation. Paul explains this further along in the book of Romans. He says…
“Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”
Romans 8:1-4 NASB2020
The only way that we honor God is through the power of the Holy Spirit. The only way to live in the Spirit is to spend time with God through: prayer, worship and supplication. Rejoice in Him, seek Him always.
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all people. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:4-7 NASB2020
