Nothing is Good Enough

Have you noticed that? For those who don’t want to hear what God is saying to them, there isn’t a Christian on earth who can be good enough for them. And that’s true because for those kind of people, perfection is the only standard they’ll allow.

Now it’s true, gross sin in one who puts on the impression that God has made h/her better than others is disgusting. And this demonstration of human reality allows functional atheists to believe that they now have a good enough reason to reject Jesus and His offer of salvation. In reality, they don’t need to see ANY sin or foul play on the part of a Christian. It’s just an excuse and it's always been an excuse.

For example, John the Baptiser came into history leaving a negligible carbon footprint. He ate locusts and wild honey. He didn’t consume alcohol nor was he violent, greedy or prodigal. This, in the midst of a society bent on luxury and ease of living. However, John's frugal living was said to be evidence of his deeper faults, so people rejected his message.

Jesus came and enjoyed everything that His “sinful” hosts offered to Him. He drank and ate to the full. He consumed - living as a man among men and it was for this that they condemned Him.

For those who are terrified of seeing themselves from God’s perspective, any excuse, or no excuse will do.
