Salvation is not a Get Out of Hell Free card
Salvation is not a Get Out of Hell Free card
Hey look! It’s another GOOHF reference!
This one reminds us that simply because we are saved does not mean we have a license to sin. I suppose forgiveness has its limits. And Christ has already paid for our sins with his life on the cross. Who are we to let him have died in vain, right? We should be sinning more, see? Otherwise he overpaid!
But God doesn’t see it that way. No, we should continue to strive to be righteous and live our lives as Jesus would have. Wanton sinning because we know God will forgive us is an abuse of God’s love. He won’t take too kindly to that.
But God has a sense of humor, I think. So he probably won’t mind if you play a little joke with a Get Out of Hell Free card of your own. I use them as a quick rejoinder for holier-than-thous, and as a lighthearted reminder of what’s important when someone is having a bad day.
What do you use yours for?
