God is too righteous to ignore our sin as if it doesn’t matter to Him, and He is too loving to ignore us in our sin as if we don’t matter to Him. He is both just and justifier. He both hates sin and loves sinners. He both punishes evil and pardons evildoers. How is this possible? By sending Jesus to die in our place for our sin so we can receive His righteousness by His grace. When we trust in Him, God forgives us so we get away with past sin, and frees us so we can get away from future sin. Praise the Lord! As born-again Christians, God now helps us take sin as seriously as He does so we can flee it or fight it by His grace.
