What if God is 833,000x HOLIER than I think He is? Matthew 18:33 (episode #193)
ACTIONS of the Heart towards PEOPLE, regarding their "indebtedness" to me
is based on
My UNDERSTANDING of the holiness of God and my incalculable inbebtedness to Him
Our semi-knucklehead in the story of the unforgiving servant gets one thing RIGHT and two things WRONG.
What he gets RIGHT is that we sin against each other here on earth. Those sins are real and in light of the story, quite calculable.
What he gets WRONG ultimately is the HOLINESS, the separateness, the glory of God.
The second thing he gets WRONG is just how bad his own fault before God is. He thinks it is payable. He thinks "it's not that bad", and "I got this". Of course, he couldn't be further from the truth. His debt is 833,000 times worse than the earthly sins he understands completely and wants to "seize, pursue, choke and imprison" for. His view of the holiness of God might be 833,000 times too small
Listen today as we call that our view of our own sin would INCREASE, that our view of other's sin would DECREASE and especially: That our view of God's majesty and HOLINESS would INCREASE.
