17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled -Matthew 5

Good morning and happy hump day to you!

Recently, I read a story about a man who claimed faith in Christ while openly living as a practicing homosexual. He questioned how a loving God could condemn him and insisted that his behavior wasn’t addressed in the New Testament because Christ supposedly removed the requirements of the law.

I realize this subject can be difficult for many, especially when some try to defend their choices by setting aside what they believe to be obvious truth. They often work hard to convince those who are still unsure, even though their viewpoint is built on falsehoods.

Yet in the passage referenced, Jesus affirms that the commands found in Leviticus still carry weight, and nothing in His teaching suggests a relaxed stance on matters of identity. The Apostle Paul also underscored these teachings in Romans 1.

Beloved, our responsibility as Christ’s people is to reject sin while extending love to those caught in it. We must also remember that truth delivered harshly rarely finds a home, but truth spoken with grace can reach the heart.
