Let's Suppose--

A SUPPOSITION:

Let us suppose that you just learned that, regardless of what you do, you cannot sin. Yes, you can violate the laws of the state of Georgia, you can violate the laws of the US Government, you can even violate international law, but you cannot sin.

You can offend you mate, your neighbor, your boss, your friend, your child, your parent, but you cannot sin.

You can murder, steal, gossip, overeat, worship idols, commit adultery, smoke, chew, cuss, and spit, but you cannot sin!

It matters not what you do, you cannot sin!

And let us suppose that what you just learned is absolute truth.


QUESTIONS:

1. How will this just-learned truth affect the way you live your life? Be honest!
2. How will this just-learned truth affect the way you view God?
3. How will this just-learned truth affect the way you view Christianity?


A SECOND SUPPOSITION:

Let us suppose that regardless of your behavior, you will have a front row seat in Heaven—guaranteed! There is none of this, “I hope I make it to heaven” or “I hope just to have a back row seat in heaven”; instead, you are guaranteed a “front row” seat, really a seat on the platform, in heaven.

QUESTIONS:

1. How will this guarantee affect the way you live your life?
2. How will this guarantee affect the way you view God?
3. How will this guarantee affect the way you view Christianity?


A THIRD SUPPOSITION:

Let us also suppose that you also just learned that the reason you cannot sin, the reason you have an unconditional guarantee of a platform seat in heaven, is because Jesus took ownership of all of your sins, became guilty of them as if they were His own, was punished to the full extent of the Law’s requirement for them, took them eternally away, never to be remembered again. In other words, you just learned that Jesus took ownership of the debt you owed God, paid it in full, canceled it, and nailed it to the cross.

QUESTIONS:

1. How will this just-learned truth affect your taking ownership of the fact that you cannot sin?
2. How will this just-learned truth affect the way you view Jesus?
3. How will this just-learned truth affect the way you view the gift of life that He has bestowed upon you?


Well, I have some very good news for you, BREAKING NEWS, as the say on Fox: “No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9; emphasis added); “We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him and the evil one does not touch him” (1 John 5:18; emphasis added).
