GOD WILL NOT ENTERTAIN SMALL SINS IN HEAVEN

GOD WILL NOT ENTERTAIN SMALL SINS IN HEAVEN

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

For some believers you cannot get away with the big sins, but you can get away with the little sins. This is not true with God. God’s eyes are too pure to behold evil; He cannot stand evil, it’s size notwithstanding. Our opening scripture is so clear on this. What it is saying is that, the man who is guilty of lying is as guilty as murder – you break one, you are guilty of all; this leaves no one with a chance to make it by himself.

Some people think for sins like adultery and fornication and murder, you cannot get any with them. But sins like stealing and backbiting, you can get away with them. No sin, irrespective of the size will go unpunished. God will punish every lawlessness, sins, and disobedience.

And God did punish all sins in Jesus Christ when He hanged on the cross over 2000 years ago. Today, anyone who believes in Jesus, receives the forgiveness of sins and he is justified from all things, and delivered from the wrath to come.

Jesus is the only way to salvation from sins and the wrath to come. No good works of man can save him. It is not Jesus plus good works that is required for salvation. It is Jesus plus nothing, except your faith. Any man who refuses to accept this free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ is doomed to a life of eternal damnation and condemnation forever.

It is no use putting your faith in your good works for your salvation – it is an effort in futility. Good works is good; and God is pleased with it. But it is not the prerequisite for your salvation. Acts 4:12 says, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

The only standard that God accepts is Jesus. He is the perfect man who offered His life for all men. When you accept Him as your Lord, God accepts you like He would Jesus; and since there is no blemish in Jesus, you become unblameable and irreproachable in His sight. Jesus is the ground for your acceptance into eternal life and rest with God.
