You, Your Neighbor, And Sin


God makes it clear drinking is a sin. If it is a sin for me to partake of it then it would be a sin to pressure my neighbor to drink. A general concept is available to apply here to all sin. What kind of Christian are we if we encourage sin in others? Time does not allow us to study this in full. We need to make sure that even in our liberties we do not cause others to sin. What are you encouraging in others?

“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor, Pressing him to your bottle, Even to make him drunk, That you may look on his nakedness” Habakkuk 2:15 NKJV


“But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.” 1 Corinthians 8:9 NKJV

The Effects

Make sure you are taking into account eternity with every choice you make about fun and pleasure. We will all be held accountable. As a family, we want to cultivate an environment that continually produces good wholesome fun. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 1 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV

Complaining

Complaining means it is about me. Life in Christ is not about us. Our Christian walk is about God and our neighbor. We do not get the privilege of complaining as blessed servant slaves of righteousness.  We must think twice before we speak our complaints.  (Phil. 2:14-16; Lk. 10:27)

Be Careful Judging

Judgment is wrong. Righteous judgement is not. That is, we can evaluate others lives based on the word and go to their aid when they are struggling. However, the final judgment call is by our Master.  God makes that ruling on judgement day. Be careful lest you be found making the final judgement on someone. (Romans 14:4) “Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.” Romans 14:4 NKJV
