Who Is Lying, You Or God?
While I was
witnessing to someone recently, I asked a lady if she had ever sinned. She told me she had never sinned a day in her
life. I was able to answer with
something I had never answered with before. God gave me the response I needed
to answer the question. I asked her
first if I could ask her a question and she allowed me to. I asked her, "If the bible says all have
sinned and you say you've never sinned....then who is lying, you or God?" She finally confessed that she had sinned but
she left in a hurry.
I was
telling someone about me talking to the lady and he felt I was being brash, but
I was very loving in asking her the question.
To never attempt to open someone's eyes to truth would be the wrong in
my opinion, especially when God has given the answer that would help them see.
I am
reminded of the story of Jesus, when the blind man approached Jesus. Jesus spit into the dirt and took the mud and
rubbed it into the blind man's eyes.
Sometimes a little hurt can help someone see. The motive is not to hurt, but to heal. Jesus gave sight to the blind man. This story is not only true, but also a
symbol of giving sight to people blind to the things of God.
If I had a
chance to talk to her further, I would have explained that one sin, just one,
was enough to send her to hell. The
bible teaches if we break one of the laws of God we are guilty of all. God loves us and knew we needed a Savior and
sent his Son to die to a pay our sin debt.
The good
thing is, she now knows she is a sinner.
A person has no chance of salvation unless first realizing( he or she) is a sinner. It is then they can see their need of
salvation and forgiveness.
I pray that
the seed sown in her heart will one day, lead her to our forgiving Savior.
Father
God, I pray you will help the lady I
talked to last night. I ask that you
will open her eyes to her need of you in her life. I pray she will see her sin the way you do
and she will seek refuge in you.
In the name
of Christ Jesus I pray, Amen.
For whosoever shall keep
the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
