Sin And Loves Reaction To It


And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error. the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, Matthew 24:11-12

But then Law came in, [only] to expand and increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God’s unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and superabounded, Romans 5:20

Let me ask you this question: does our Father’s love ever grow cold? Did Jesus’ love grow cold as He was on the Cross, when all of those people who He had healed and taught cried out for His death? Absolutely not! The Truth is that where sin abounds the expression of our Fathers love, which is Grace, superabounds. The glorious Truth is also that we are now one with our Father through Christ, John 17:19-22. Jesus is greater in us, then the sin that is in this world, 1 John 4:4. 

The Truth is also tha Jesus ever lives so that we may always have His love operating within us, John 17:26. So it cannot be the Bride of Christ’s love that grows cold. If that where the case, it would mean that Jesus’ love was growing cold. So whose love grows cold during the end times? It is those who have a form of godliness, but who deny the power of it, 2 Timothy 3:5.

Our Father is having me write this because right now I am seeing a ton of very angry, so called religious leaders. These wolves are in sheep’s clothing and they are attacking those who they believe to be sinners hard. These men are saying that they are attacking because of sin. But the Truth is that where sin is, our Father’s Grace is abounding. We know who is of God by the fruit that our Father causes that person to bear, Matthew 7:16. The fruit of the Holy Spirt operating in our lives is: love, joy, peace, long suffering gentleness, faith, meekness, and temperance, Galatians 5:22-23. 

Homosexuality, adultery, abortion, fornication, murder, lying, deception are all sins. Actually anything that a person does without giving Jesus the credit is sin, Romans 14:23. These things definitely abound right now, so that means that Grace, which is all undeserved, should be superabounding through the true leaders of the Church. Look at those who call themselves elders and see if love, peace, joy, gentleness, and long suffering are superabounding towards those who are doing these things. If these fruitful things are not, then you will know that the person is a false prophet and is leading people into error. 

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Hebrews 13:8. When Jesus came upon sinners, He loved and had compassion on them. He readily forgave them. He healed them. He did not cry out for our Father’s vengeance to be poured out on them. He did not preach that our Father would get His justice over them. Moved by compassion Jesus set people free and He is the exact same way in us today as He was 2000 years ago, and as He will be during the end times. Sin never makes Jesus’ love grow cold!
