God's Attitude Towards Sin
Romans 3:5-8
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who takes vengeance?…


(text, and Genesis 18:25). —

God's attitude towards sin: —

1. God makes the wickedness and unbelief of men subservient to His glory.

2. Holds them responsible for their sins, notwithstanding the result.

3. Teaches that the morality of an action depends not upon the consequences of it, but upon its agreement or disagreement with His law.

4. Condemns the slanderous importation that the gospel sanctions the principle of doing evil that good may come.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
