The choices you make affect not only yourself, but also other people around you – whether you want it or not.
When someone who has been drinking chooses to get into a car to drive home, the consequences can be that some who may never have touched alcohol have to face the penalty of death. Fair or not, that's just the way life is. In fact, you were born by your parents making a choice where you had no opportunity to express your opinion.
When we know that life is like this, it should lead to us thinking a little more through what we do and what consequence it has for others. Because it doesn't just apply when you do negative things, but it applies just as much when you do good things. It may seem unfair that we sometimes have to suffer because of choices other people make, but this mechanism has actually become our salvation. We could never have achieved salvation if we had to earn it ourselves, but thanks to the fact that other people's choices affect me, I can be saved today. Because Jesus managed to live the life we could never manage to live, and then take the staff for the sin of the whole world. And thanks to Him choosing to walk the way of the cross, today I can accept salvation, undeserved and by grace. Romans 5:20-21 But the law came so that the fall would be greater; and if sin increased, grace has increased all the more, so that grace, just as sin has reigned in and with death, may reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We often think that our sin is a problem for God, and it once was. But when we are saved ALL our sin is removed - not only the sin we have committed, but also the sin we will commit. Romans 6:8-10 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. And we know that Christ is risen from the dead and dies no more; death is no longer master of him. For the death He died, He died from sin once and for all. The life he lives he lives for God. v11 This is how you should also look at yourselves: you are dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 7:26-27 For such a high priest we needed, one who is holy, innocent, pure, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens, one who does not, like the other high priests, have to offer sacrifices every day, first for his own sins and then those of the people; for he has done that once and for all, when he offered himself as a sacrifice. Hebrews 9:12, 26 and not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, he entered the Holy of Holies once for all and won eternal redemption... for then he had to suffer many times since the world was made founded.
But now he has come forward once and for all at the end of time to blot out sin by his sacrifice. Hebrews 10:10-14 and according to his will we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every other priest stands day after day ministering and regularly offering the same sacrifices that can never take away sins, but this priest has offered one single, eternal sacrifice for sins and then taken his seat at the right hand of God, where he waits only , that his enemies shall be made a stool for his feet. For by a single sacrifice he has forever led those he sanctifies to the goal. ···· 50 ···· Review of the Letter to the Romans This means that if we are going to sin, it will not come as a surprise to God. He already knew from the dawn of time how much I will sin, from the time I was born until the day I die; and it was this whole multitude of sin that Jesus died for. All I need to do now is live in the light, also the blood of Jesus will continually cleanse me from sin - both the unproven and conscious sin. 1 John 1:7-9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we are leading ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Some are afraid that Jesus will come again 2 seconds after they have committed a sin, before they have had time to ask for forgiveness. In their minds they will then be lost, but I don't think so. Of course, we must confess our sins, and in this way live in the light, but it is not the fact that we confess sin that causes us to be forgiven. We are forgiven because Jesus took our punishment, and when we accept the absolution He wants to give us, then we are free and the sin paid for. When I say sin is paid, I mean ALL sin. This means that if I am going to sin, Jesus must not die one more time to pay the staff for the last sin I have committed - no, He has done that once and for all.
