"Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For i tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." --- Matthew 5:19-20
just read this verse and was reminded about how perhaps i havent been "hating" sin as much as i should have? recently theres been a new bunch of P6's joining us for YF.. and i can see that we are all making the effort to try to help them to fit in. but i guess sometimes, im guilty in that i let certain things slide because i want them to like me?
i was reminded today that God's law is the ultimate standard of perfection and how i serve an entirely holy God. there is no way that i can overlook sin, and still be loving at the same time. and similarly, i shouldnt go to the extreme of being like a scribe or Pharisee that does not love and just condemns.
in everything we do, we are to make disciples for Christ! not just to be exclusive and selfish about our salvation. i hope that God will remind me in these holidays about how to love others selflessly, cos lately it seems like all i think of is me ):
