In today’s world, Christians are often called haters simply because we won’t accept sin. We get labeled as hateful when we don’t go along with what the world wants—but that’s far from the truth.
Think about it: if there was a poisonous snake in the backyard and you let your brother or sister go play without warning them, are you showing them love? No! You’d shout, “Stop! Don’t go out there!” That’s love.
We have an enemy—Satan—who is waiting and ready for us to accept the sinner’s way. By doing this, we are helping them make Hell their home.
A lot of people say we have to keep telling the person about God.
But the Bible says,
“A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject.” — Titus 3:10 (KJB)
That means after you’ve told someone the truth once or twice, and they still reject it, you have the right to leave them in the Lord’s hands. Your job is done. They know the truth, and they’ve chosen not to live it.
So, here’s the point: just because you don’t accept someone’s sin doesn’t mean you don’t love them. On the contrary, it means you love them enough to tell them the truth.
Hell is real. We’re all on our way there without Jesus. But if we put our trust in Him, He will take us to Heaven. I don’t want anyone to go to Hell. But if I accept the sinful lifestyle in someone’s life, it’s like I’m saying, “I’m fine with you going to Hell. And I’ll help you get there by making you feel comfortable in your sin.”
Nope. Not going to happen.
I will not let someone in my life feel comfortable in their sin. I refuse to sit by and make their trip to Hell easier.
I choose to tell the truth. I choose to speak out against sin. I choose to warn the people around me.
And I hope you’ll decide to do the same.
