The other day I came across a news feed of a live gay pride parade promoting this lifestyle. There were some comments in the feed about how God’s love and supports the Gay movement. They were using the scriptures about God’s love and twisting them to say this lifestyle was okay and approved by God. It is true that God loves us all, but God hates a sinful lifestyle.
To understand this a little more, think of your son or daughter committing a gruesome murder. Even though they committed this murder your love for them is never ending. You hate what they did, but still love them. God Loves in the same way… He loves you but hates a sinful lifestyle!
God’s word, the Bible, it’s very clear about the Sin of homosexuality. This is sin just like any other sin. And God hates all sin. In Leviticus 18:22 says – “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.” and we find the penalty for this sin in Leviticus 20:13, “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.” Wow… punishment is the death penalty!
In the first chapter of Romans, Paul was describing the way the world has turned away from God and embraced idolatry and other sins. Romans 1:26-27 says, “For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.” In this verse we clearly see that homosexuality is wrong and sinful.
Remember this…. Sin Separates us from God. And 1st Corinthians 6 verse 9 reads “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.”
God loves all people and will forgive every sin IF we ask for it. It is by the grace of God that we are forgiving. No matter what you’ve done in your past God’s grace is big enough to forgive you. All that’s necessary for you to do, is to ask God for forgiveness.
Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” It is through God’s grace and by our faith in His Son Jesus, we can enter into the kingdom of Heaven. It’s your choice… to have eternal Life with God or eternal death Satan. To have eternal life with God starts with a relationship with Him. How’s your relationship?
Maybe you have never had a relationship with God. Or maybe you have fallen away and need to renew your relationship with God and get the peace you once had. If so, please take the time now and pray…tomorrow maybe too late.
Tell God you believe His Son Jesus paid for your sins and arose from the grave. Tell God you are sorry and want to start Living for Him. He will forgive your sins and mistakes and give you Everlasting Life with Him… and place His Spirit deep within your heart. In 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” and in Romans 10:9 tells us,” That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;“
