Reflections...

This past month I have been studying the book The Sovereignty of God by A.W. Pink. One theme of the book is exalting the Savior and humbling the sinner. One area where Christians can humble themselves is by searching for and repenting of their sin. But this method is none too popular today! Everyone today (including non-believers) are told "Jesus loves you!". Does this make people want to turn from their sin and follow Christ? No, the fact is it makes sinners content in their sin. Why repent if Jesus loves me? Pink asks this: "Is it true that God loves the one who is despising and rejecting His blessed Son? To tell the Christ-rejector that God loves him is to cauterise his conscience as well as to afford him a sense of security in his sins." Just food for thought!
