Is God Guilty Of Sinning Against His Own Word?

3. Is God Guilty Of Sinning Against His Own Word?

God is not a respecter of persons.  The Lord wills that we follow His example and not be a respecter of persons, which is sin.  In James 2:9 we are told:

"But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors."

God loves humanity with a greater love (Greek, agape) than we can ever experience until we are saved.  Then we have the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4) implanted within us.  Many times it is hard, naturally, to love a person with their bad habits, attitudes, insults and etc.  This can only be done through the Holy Spirit which enables us to love that person in spite of their character, the way God loved us before we were saved.

Since God expects us not to have respect of persons, it would discredit the character of God for Him to elect some to be saved and reject others.  Since it would be sin for us to show partiality, then God would be guilty of the same if election were true.  In other words, God would be instructing us not to do something and then be guilty of doing it Himself.  How absurd!  Notice Peter's words in Acts 10:34 :

"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons."

It now becomes your choice, either to believe God's Word--or election predicated upon the philosophy of men.

"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." - Psalms 118:8
