Being Cast Into Hell With Perfect Health…

God hates sin. He hates it so much that He warns us throughout scripture. Here’s a passage that spells it out for us. Any one who acts out sinful behavior has the option of repentance. That’s all of us. Those that promote sinful behavior, especially to children, will be held to a higher standard. Those that promote sinful behavior, as Jesus states, “would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” False teachers, politicians who promote abortion, allow cross-dressing men to read stories to little children in public places, boys to dress in girls locker rooms, etc... are better off drowned. These are not the only examples, just current ones in our society today that help illustrate the point. Jesus goes on to tell us that it would be better to lose an eye or hand than to believe sinning is okay. We’d enter Heaven maimed, but still enter, versus being cast into Hell with perfect health. These are strong words. It must tell us how much God hates sin. Sin ruins lives, and those that promote immoral behavior will pay the ultimate price if they do not repent of their spiritual blindness. Another reason why our example, our love, our connection with God is of utmost importance. It’s why we fight for the orphans and oppressed, and why we stand to defend truth. The wages of sin is death, not just one death, but two. Knowing this should help open our eyes to what matters most.

1 About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”2 Jesus called a little child to Him and put the child among them. 3 Then He said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.5 “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on My behalf is welcoming Me.6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in Me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.7 “What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.8 So if your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand or one foot than to be thrown into eternal fire with both of your hands and feet.9 And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.10 “Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of My heavenly Father. Matthew 18:1-10
