Saints That Ain’t

Sadly, many pious Christians hide behind puritan masks and go about like the publican of Christ’s time, who boasted, “Thank God I’m not like such sinners.” To hear them tell it, their marriages are flawless and their morals are saintlike. Don’t believe it! We have all sinned and come short of God’s holiness. There are none righteous in their own strength. Show me the saintliest soul on earth, and I’ll show you one who battles temptation as much as any other Christian alive. And if a Christian would like to cure himself of being judgmental, all he has to do is look inside himself and be honest about his own inner struggles. That should keep us all from worrying about another’s spiritual condition.

One of the good things that should come out of a Christian’s inner struggle with the flesh is that he learns to quit throwing stones—that is, if he is honest with himself. The Word instructs, “Even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye” (Col. 3:13).

Perhaps out of all the terrible struggles Christians are now enduring, we will discover a new spirit of tolerance and love for others. Perhaps, being forgiven so much ourselves, we will in turn forgive others for their shortcomings: “Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Eph. 4:32).
