God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Confronting another when they are in a state of sin is an act of love. If our children were abusing drugs we would make a judgment call. Why is it any different if a brother or sister in Christ is acting in a destructive manner? Don’t we understand the destructive nature of sin? It nailed our Savior to the cross! Respected pastor and theologian, John Stott, once said, “To [learn of a foreign object in a brother’s eye and] leave it there, and make no attempt to remove it, would hardly be consistent with brotherly love” (Sermon on the Mount, p. 179). If we really want to be more like Christ (Rom. 8:29), we will be grateful to have our sins revealed. If we are humble, we will be grateful to have our sins revealed. It is only the scoffer, according to Proverbs, who hates correction (Pro. 9:8). And if this is what is best for us, we should naturally want it for others. Isn’t that the Golden Rule (Mt. 7:12)?
Jesus Christ came down to save us, not only from the guilt, but also from the power of sin... Tell me, are not many of you offended at what has been said already?... Are not others ready to cry out, if this be true, who then can be saved? Is not this driving people into despair?... I would to God...that the whole world was filled with this despair.
