After, all We must be tolerant . A belief in sin, guilt, impurity, judgement, or a belief that there is only one way to God is therefore regarded as intolerant. But it is not true to say that all religions lead to God. We have recently celebrated Christmas. For example, while to some Christmas is an excuse for greed and self indulgence, for us who believe in God, we believe that God stooped as low as to be born as a man, to identify with sinners.
Sin is so serious a problem that it required a desperate solution.
Jesus was never tolerant of sin, and to say otherwise is to suggest that there was no need for the cross. Hebrews 11 tells us that, Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see . Faith is having the courage to dance to the music of the present . At its most fundamental level, being a Christian is an act of faith, of announcing the truth about a world full of justice and peace when the media tells us that this idea is just a fantasy. So begins the back cover of the latest book by Max Lucado, and as the title suggests, it is about the cross.
