Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. –Oscar Wilde I am pretty sure Oscar Wilde will never gain anyone’s “Favorite Theologian” status. His quote, however, is a good launching point for this post. A large number of pastors and theological types spend time on Twitter. Some of their tweets are retweeted hundreds or even thousands of times. Recently I noticed a fair number of tweets having to do with sin. Here are a few: Christians sin daily and much, and need to hear the Gospel of Christ’s forgiveness just as much as unbelievers do. [Original tweet] When I attach God’s acceptance to my performance, the Gospel becomes the Okay News. My sin ruins me, not His love of me. [Original tweet] To be in constant awe of the gospel is to be in constant despair of my sin but constant delight of my loving Savior. [Original tweet] I do not mean to imply what these have written is unbiblical as the thoughts contained in these three tweets are, I believe, true. These three are representative of many I have seen with the same sentiment.
