Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither …thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were sanctified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
For some reason we all like it when the preacher unloads on someone else for their sins. That’s what it sounded like the Apostle Paul was doing, and then he added, “Such were some of you….”
God does not rank sin by degrees. The drunkard who goes to work every day is a drunkard the same as the drunkard who is passed out on the street. No better and no worse are any of us in God’s eyes. We are all sinners and we all are sanctified by the Lord Jesus Christ. God looks at us and we are squeaky clean.
God says you are good enough. Ask Him into your heart today.
