Sin is serious. The wages of sin is death. I do not see ACCIDENTALLY
slipping a mile or two over a man-made speed limit as something which
causes God to send a person to eternal damnation except he repent and
believe upon Jesus Christ.
David:
I seem to be having a hard time communicating to you what is sin. The sin is disobedience to those in authority over you, whether you disobey a little or a lot. If that were the only sin you ever committed, it would send you to Hell unless covered by the blood of Christ. One lousy sin in the garden started this mess we are in, though it appeared harmless at the time to the sinner.
It does not matter how much the policeman is concerned. It does not matter if God does not flood the earth because of it. It does not matter if your conscience is clear. I have known homosexuals with a clear conscience. If God says obey the authorities, and they are not demanding something that compromises your relationship with the Lord, you are to obey.
Have I ever slipped up since becoming a believer? Yes, I have, and it was a sin. One that hurt no one but me, but that is enough. I dare not assume that my little sins do not offend a Holy God. He is angry with the sinner every day.
Next time you are doing fifty-five in a fifty-five zone, and a car with a fish decal on the back passes you doing sixty, think about what kind of witness is driving that car. Maybe you will see what I mean.
The law makes no provision for breaking the law by mistake, but I am confident that the Lord would take that into account.
Blessings,
Terry
