I have broken the Ten Commandments, but I do good things for people.
Objection:
"I have broken the Ten Commandments, but I do good things for
people."
Answer:
Many people do similar things. They may
steal from their employer or cheat on their taxes, then give to a charity or
spend Thanksgiving helping at a soup kitchen. They think they are balancing the
scales: they have done bad, and now they are doing good. However, the Bible
reveals that the motive of guilty sinners is one of guilt (see Hebrews
9:14). They are attempting to bribe the Judge of the Universe. However, the
Judge in this case will not be corrupted. He must punish all sinners. Good works
cannot earn mercy; it comes purely by the grace of God. He will dismiss our
iniquity only on the grounds of our faith in Jesus.
