How to lose your "but"

“I know the Bible says, ‘Forgive one another’, but you don’t know what she did.”  “I know the Bible says ‘Don’t get divorced’, but what about my bad marriage?” “I know the Bible says, ‘Do your work as unto the Lord,’ but you haven’t met my boss.”

I have sincerely learned that the word of God means what it says. “But,” you say, “but how can that be?”  Time to be transformed, and get your “but” out of the way!  The Bible is to change how we think.  It’s no surprise we find excuses. We think we know better.  How’s it going for you?  Isn’t it time you were changed? Transformed?  Get your head in the game.  Allow yourself to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind." 

Romans 12:1-2  "Do not be confirmed to this world any longer; be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

I am not that bad a sinner!

All Sin Equally

I once met a woman who said she had never stolen anything her entire life. “Do you mean you’ve never made a copy at work and didn’t pay for it? Never taken a pen or pencil or paper clip?” Whether it’s a copy or a car, she was still a thief… still a transgressor. Ignorance of the Law is no excuse.  

We’ve all heard the expression “Ignorance of the Law is no excuse.” The Bible uses the word “transgression” for the violation of the law. Whether or not we know the law we are transgressors of the law when we violate its standard.

 Romans 5:15  "But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one, the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many."

Remember that Jesus was delivered up for our transgressions, whether committed in ignorance or knowledge of the Law. Though transgressors each, we all find grace for our breaking of the law through Jesus Christ.
