Have you ever heard that where sin is great God's grace is even greater? Does this mean that the more we sin the more glory God receives? There was a train of thought in Paul's time that said the more evil that is done the more good God is doing. Do you believe there are trains of thought that are similar to this today? If this were the case would God be justified to judge the sinner and the world since he would actually benefit from sin. Give this some thought as you read Romans 3: 5-8.

I do not believe that the more we sin, the more glory God receives. I do believe that Gods grace seems greater to those in the deepest sin. In Luke 7:36-50 Jesus went to eat at the house of a Pharisee named Simon. When a woman entered the house and began to wash Jesus' feet with her tears and fragrant oil. Simon questioned that Jesus was allowing this Sinner woman to touch him. Jesus told Simon "there was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed 500 denari and the other 50. And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which one will love him more?" Simon replied "I suppose the one whom he forgave more" Jesus said, " you have judged rightly" In verse 47 he said "Therefore I say to you, her sins which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little".
