Do you often ask me what my is? Position?About social justice and the gospel. Normally, I look interrogatively before I ask that person, “What do you mean by that?”In general, what they mean is how to find a balance: love people and provide for them. instead of preaching the gospel to them?
There’s the problem (for me, anyway). I have absolutely no problem balancing the gospel with justice and defense and this is my great secret. Wait a minute?drum roll for favor. NO THE SEPARO. I’m not smart (no, not at all)? Here’s what I mean.
- I simply preach the gospel because I have no other answers to the many needs of my fellow men.
- I do this with a tremendous sense of gratitude for what God has accomplished in my life.
- He saved me from the mud.
- Cleansed me.
- And brought me back to participate as a great example of the power of the gospel and the glory of God as it is in Jesus Christ.
- On the way.
- People fed me.
- Dressed me and put a roof over my head.
- They loved me.
- Advised me.
- Scolded me.
- And even listened to me! But if I have never been confronted with the sin of my sin.
- My desperate condition under the judgment of a just.
- Loving.
- Just and holy God; If they weren’t begging me to repent of my sins and put my faith and trust only in the finished work of Jesus on Calvary.
- Then I don’t know where I would be.
- Well.
- I actually know exactly where I would be.
- Or even in jail.
- Thinking of the goodness of some Christians? that she gave me something to eat once.
- But never had the courage to share Christ with me in an understandable and relevant way.
- Or worse.
- And more likely.
- Murdered along with many of my friends.
- Dead and facing eternity in a place I can barely imagine?.
Justice and social action should not take us away from the gospel, nor should the gospel prevent us from social action and justice. Zedek? And
Peace.
