If sin doesn't separate us from God, what does? Yup, you just confoirmed what sfassisi said. Only the devil would want us to believe that sin doesn't spearate us from God, so that we may commit adultery "thousands of times each day" and still be "saved."
“If sin doesn’t separate us from God, what does?”
For the believer, I guess you would have to ask Paul. Luther seems to echo him. They both have I high view of the value of Christ’s sacrfice. Luther was telling Melenchthon that he should recognize what a sinner he was but that the sacrfice for sin was greater.
“It suffices that through God’s glory we have recognized the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day. Do you think such an exalted Lamb paid merely a small price with a meager sacrifice for our sins? Pray hard for you are quite a sinner.”
Rom. 8:35-39, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
