We always hear that we must stop sinning and repent, but here is a quotation from a book written by Andrew Wommack, The War Is Over. This change the picture what we are thinking and learned over the years.
“Contrary to popular opinion, people don’t go to hell because of their sins. They go to hell because they rejected the payment for their sins. They go to hell because they refused to receive the Saviour. When Christians proclaim, “If you don’t quit dipping, cussing, chewing and doing this and that, God won’t accept you,” you’re imputing people’s sins unto them. You are also demeaning and decreasing the value of Jesus’ sacrifice. In reality, you’re saying, “Your sin is bigger and more important than what Jesus did on the cross.”
“But God was in Jesus not imputing man’s sins unto them. Sin isn’t the issue. It’s all a matter of what people are doing with Jesus. Have they made a commitment of their life to Him, or are they rejecting Him? If someone doesn’t receive Jesus as their Saviour, they reject the only payment available for their sins. There’s no other way to the Father except through His Son.”
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
“So if they don’t accept the payment for their sins – the Lord Jesus Christ – they’ll be rejected and cast into hell, not because of their sins, but because of rejecting Jesus. In hell, they’ll be held accountable and have to pay for those sins. But the truth is, all those sins have already been paid for by Jesus. Therefore, sin isn’t really the issue. The issue is what are you going to do with the Lord?”
