There is often debate amongst Christians about WHAT IS SIN? Things like: Is it wrong for a woman to cut her hair? Can you eat pork? Must you observe the Sabbath? Can a woman wear pants, men’s clothes? Is it wrong to drink wine? Dear friends, every thing that we do not do to glorify Jesus, that is SIN. Because if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, then you have dedicated your life to Him, you made a promise. You said “Lord from today onwards, I want to live to glorify you.” And if you do something that does not glorify God, then that is a SIN.
When you judge your brother or your sister with regard to food or clothes or whatever, that is also a SIN. As Paul wrote, I read from Romans 14:4 He says: Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own Master he stands or falls; and stand he will, for the Lord will make him stand." Dear friend, our brother and sister in Christ are not our servants, they belong to Jesus and He will judge all of us righteously. And we must make sure that we do not fall short in that judgment day. I read further from Romans 14:10 He says: But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God. :11 For it is written, AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD." :12 So then each of us shall give account to himself to God. Dear friends, each of us will give account to God for what we have done and for what we have not done, for what we omitted to do what we were suppose to be doing.
So we must be careful, how we live, what we do, ourselves, we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling. We must ask Jesus all the time, “to show ME, Lord, are You satisfied with me?” Let us rather be quiet and pray more and not judge each other but say “Lord, I want to be pure in Your sight. I do not want to be ashamed in the judgment day.” Each of us, must make sure, that he is in right standing with God. In Romans 14:20 Paul writes, Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense. :21 It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles. :22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. :23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is SIN.
Dear friend, let each of us, be in his own mind, convicted that Jesus is satisfied with what I am doing right now. Is whatever I am doing right now, to the glory of God? Does He approve of it? Because Jesus said for every IDLE WORD that man speaks, he will give account for every thought. If you look at a woman to lust after her, HE KNOWS, and you have already committed adultery in your heart and He will judge you according to your THOUGHT. That is how narrow the Door is. So dear friends, let each of us in our own hearts be sure, under confirmation of the Holy Spirit that we are pleasing to Jesus. Let us every moment make sure that we walk carefully, and remember that we will ALL stand before the judgment Throne of God. Let us be pleasing to Jesus and love each other. May Jesus bless you.
