^^WITHOUT EXCUSE




Probably the biggest and by far the most unfortunate mistake people could ever make where it comes to the day they stand before God, is in thinking that standard of judgment will be their being compared to those others they consider to be really bad people: or that there is some sort of spiritual scale on which one's good deeds will be weighed against the bad. Or even worse, that they consider themselves to be morally superior to true Christians because of some shortfall or misstep for which that Christian may have been found guilty.


The truth is that those who have not accepted the blood of Christ to cover their sins will in fact be compared to God Himself. Holy, righteous, sin-free. He is in fact, incapable of sin or even considering sin. Adam and Eve who started life out in paradise, displayed their true nature when they did by choice sin. And the world system which resulted from their lives is a system built on sin. We are therefore all born into sin on the day of our birth. Now that does not mean the very young are accountable before the Lord until after they reach the age of accountability. Nonetheless the idea that doing more good than bad will gain us entry to heaven is not true. The only excuse any of us will have is to plead the blood of Christ, Who died for us on the cross. Because outside of our belonging to Christ Who paid for our sin debt with His life, there is no excuse.



Ignorance of the law is no excuse on earth or in the Lord's heavenly court called --- the Judgment.



Hebrews 9:27
