Sanctified

Since God is flawlessly fair, and to sin is to act in an anti-God manner, sin inevitably does what is unfair. Its not fair that people be murdered, cheated, robbed, lied to, lied about, verbally or physically or sexually abused, maimed by a drunk driver, or born addicted to illicit drugs or born affected by sexually transmitted diseases because of a mothers sin, or get AIDS because a blood donor sinned against his wife. All of us are both a victim of other peoples sin and have suffered because of our own sin. None of us are the magnificent beings we would be if we had not been mauled by the accumulated effects of sin in our world, sin in our ancestry, and sin in our own actions. Relative to what we would be without this anti-God behavior, each of us is, to differing degrees, disabled, disfigured and degenerate. Obviously, this is not Gods doing. To sin is to rebel against Gods loving ways and break his heart. The tragic consequences of sin confirm that God is not a killjoy. He really had our best interest at heart when he forbade actions that the Bible calls sin. To lash out at God for the unfairness that sin creates is to foolishly lynch the Innocent, just like they did two thousand years ago. By the very act of accusing God of injustice, we ourselves commit the greatest injustice.
