What a boast!

Tom assaulted his classmate, but the homeroom teacher overlooked his violence. Then can Tom boast that he was pardoned by the teacher, and say, "I am a great kid"?

 

A man, though believing in Jesus, committed ugly adultery. However he, not knowing he has not yet got the deserved punishment from God, goes from place to place to tell Christians about his religious life, saying, "I was a man who committed ugly adultery in the past. But God forgave me!"

 

You pitiful man, what are you bragging about? Are you so proud that you haven't got punished? Don't you have other things to brag about?

 

What is more pathetic is that the man plans to study theology to be a pastor because he was pardoned by God though he had committed dirty sins. Oh, No! You foolish man! Does God call a man like you who has committed such dirty sins to his servant because there are so few people with God who would be God's servants? Those who have committed homosexuality, adultery, rape, and fraud should not presumptuously get into the priesthood.

 

And if you (the adulterer) haven't got the deserved punishment for your sins on earth, most of your rewards and prizes for your good works on earth will be offset by your unpunished dirty sins in heaven. Never forget it!

 

And you'll certainly live a regretful life and die if you presumptuously and arbitrarily step into the priesthood when God hasn't called you to his servant.

 

​I'm sorry to say this to you, but God loves and values a believer who lives an honest life without committing sins 100 times more than a believer like you who has sinned and been forgiven. So you have to know how ridiculous your testimony done before the righteous saints is. And the love done to God by the good saints is 100 times bigger than the love done to God by you. Therefore, don't try to hold a candle to the sun!

 

Those who keep the commandments of Jesus really love Jesus.​
