Assumption
- God Has A Choice. The final assumption is that God has a choice.
But we must ask, "Does a holy God have a choice to not punish
sin?” Can a holy God allow a sinful, eternal person, who rejects
Him, to exist forever without punishment - a person who has rejected
God? If we believe that God should not punish a person forever, then
we need to ask, “How long should one be punished?” It does
not matter what answer we give to this question, someone may think
it is too long. The problem is our sinful point of view. God sees
sin differently than we do. It is a colossal mistake to apply our
distorted moral judgment to a holy Being we do not understand - a
holy God, -our Creator. He knows truth from lies and right from wrong.
His moral sense is not distorted by sin. We are comfortable with sin
because we are sinners. But the Bible makes it clear that holiness
and sin are like night and day, light and darkness. They do not mix.
They cannot coexist.
Conclusion:The
ultimate answer to your question is found in spiritual truth, in a
book supernaturally written by a holy God – the Bible. God has
made a decision to rescue us from hell. He does not want to send any
of us to hell (2 pet. 3:9). That is why He sent Jesus Christ to our
planet to die for our sins. This means that while God cannot allow
sin to go unpunished it does not mean He does not love us! By our
simply believing in or depending on Jesus to forgive our sins, our
sins are forgiven and we are rescued from hell. God has shown us His
love. The only sin that will place a person in Hell is rejection of
Jesus Christ.

But
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now
been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath
of God through Him. For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled
to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been
reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. Rom. 5:8-10
For
the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NASB) Rom. 6:23
And
there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name
under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must
be saved. (NASB) Acts 4:12 |
The
decisions made by a God Who cannot sin are correct , right and good. |
