We
Must Give an Account to God
Before conversion we had all the spiritual and moral
insights that pagans possess—and spent our lives “doing what pagans choose to
do.” Pagans cannot understand Christian self–discipline and rejection of sinful
pleasures, and actually abuse and ridicule us.
But what
we understand is that human beings must give an account to God for their moral
choices. Our sharing of the Gospel makes their judgment more severe, for their
rejection of Christ fully demonstrates that their bent is toward evil.
