God cannot forgive sin
Job 8:3 “Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?”
God cannot pervert judgment by letting sinners go free. His law says in Romans 6:23 that the wages of sin is
death, and in Romans 3:23 it says we have all sinned. In order for God to be just, we must be put to death
because of our sin. God cannot forgive our sin. He can forgive us for committing sin, but the sin itself cannot be
forgiven, because God cannot go against His own law.
Let’s say you’re a parent and you’re in a furniture store with your two kids. You’re looking at tables and
couches and thinking about different furniture you’d like to have in your house. Your kids however are goofing
around and playing games, so you ask them to settle down. You continue looking at furniture while your kids
continue clowning around and they end up knocking over a lamp stand, breaking a lamp. You’re going to get
onto your kids pretty hard about it when you get home, right? But when they come up to you and they’re all
humble and tears in their eyes, sorry for what they’ve done, are you going to forgive them? Of course you are,
but is their humbleness going to pay for that lamp?
You see, the wages of sin is death. God can forgive you for committing the sin, but He still must receive
payment for what you have done. When you broke God’s law Jesus had to pay for it by taking your debt upon
Himself and being put to death in your place. Jesus was a sacrifice for your sin. If you would like to now how this
sacrifice was made (Click Here)
