We need to stop justifying the way we are living. Just because we are in grace doesn't mean that we should live in sin. And we can't use scripts to justify our sinful life and actions.
King Saul justified why he disobeyed God. God told him to smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass (donkey). But King Saul didn't kill all the Amalek, he kept Agag the king of Amalek alive, and sheep and oxen so he can sacrifice unto the Lord. But God didn't want the Amalek's sheep or oxen as a sacrifice but obedience from King Saul.
So God took the kingdom of Israel away from Saul and gave it to King David who had a heart after God.
Even Samson justified his action and once it was all over the power of God was lifted off him and he didn't ever feel any different.
1 Samuel 15
Judges 16
The moment that we justify our lives and actions and disobey God then God will let us go. God doesn't want to let us go but He will. I don't want to let God down. I pray that you guys don't want to let God down either. If you don't know what to justify your sinful life and actions then you need to pray, read your Bible, and fast. Let God use you and obey this voice. He gives grace to the humble. So humble yourself to God. Don't strive in your strength, cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus.
When someone who is living a sinful life tells you that you are justifying your life because other Christian are not doing what you are doing or that other churches have a different standard than some of the other churches. Sinners try to justify their life but put the blame on Christians because they want help but they don't know how to ask for it.
A murder with try to justify their actions but blaming the ones that you have killed. Will say 'well it's their fault because they looked at me the wrong way or they said the wrong words.' When the moment someone we know and love tells us that we are justifying our sinful life and then they give you a list of all the things that "we" are doing. Just stop what you are doing, get on your knees, lift up your hands and pray to God. speak in the Holy Ghost.
The enemy will try to make you doubt God's work and wonder. I know someone that told someone (I will not give out names) that they are justifying their life just because their glass just happens to have small fake diamonds on the side. You can't see them, and then they go on and tell them that why one church allows the man with beards on the church platform and others don't. We one have our own standards. We can't let man justify our lives or actions but God.
God is a gentle and loving God. He speaks to us in a still small voice while the Devil speaks to us but lies and deceitfulness. We need to let God justify our lives and actions. Pray and read the Bible and God will speak to you.
