My church just spent the month of January going through the theme of holiness in a person's life. One thing that struck me when the pastors were preaching over the pulpit, was the point that it is possible for a church-going believer who does, says and thinks all the things and yet be still considered "ungodly" if he or she does not live with the consciousness/knowledge of God's will in the person's life. More than reference to God's will, the pastors impressed upon us the need to live in deference to God's will.
And as usual, my mind spins off in tangential thinking. On which is better, a "sinner" who lives with the consciousness that God can redeem and transform him; or to be a Christian/"saint" living without the presence of God...
Your question caught my attention...but then again, who won't sin?...(and therefore who is not a sinner? in which case, everyone is)...
ReplyDeleteand who can stop sinning without the fear and presence of God in his/her life? ( and therefore is it possible to be a saint without God?).
well, I originally intened to title this "On Christianity without God"; Thought that was a bit too provocative. Xp
ReplyDeleteYes, i think it is possible for one to be "saintly" and be good for goodness' sake, without referencing oneself to God...
