Is it fair?
Jesus is the Righteousness of God,
He came into this world to
Rescue, save, justify and deliver the unrighteous from the spirit of unrighteousness.
He accomplished His mission.
Is it fair for the righteous to, deliberately, return to the prison of unrighteousness?
Is it fair for the Divine’s mercy to tolerate this?
Is it fair for Christians to take advantage of the Divine’s compassion and, deliberately, return to the practice of their pagan ways?
God is love, yes;
But would this love continuously endure unrighteousness?
Is this love similar to the love of this world, which does not mind unrighteousness when it comes to family ties and infamous passions?
Absolutely not.
The love of God finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. (1 Corinthians 13.6)
The Holy Spirit says:
For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, became companions with the Holy Spirit, tasted God’s good word and the powers of the coming age, and who have fallen away…
Because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt. (Hebrews 6.4-6)
For if, having escaped the world’s impurity through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these things and defeated, the last state is worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb: A dog returns to its own vomit, and: a sow, after washing itself, wallows in the mud. (2 Peter 2.20-22)
