To Be Least

There once was a young man. Now, this man was a strong Christian. He knew that Jesus Christ was his Lord and Savior. However, as he grew older he began to live in immorality and sin. Now, one night after about a year of this lifestyle, he died driving drunk. His family, who were Christians, were sad and greived. However, they found comfort in the fact that he once was a Christian and that God had taken him home so he would not hurt other with his sin. They knew the God called him home to be with him in heaven.

I find that story, which is based on many true stories, shocking and disgusting. The fact that people say that people living in sin are called home to be with God because they are hurting others with their sin is offensive. It is a mockery of God.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-9)
