NEW WORLD, SAME OLD SIN (Genesis 9:18 to 10:10)
When the Flood was completed, eight people came out of that ark. All the people who had turned away from God had now been destroyed by the judgment waters of God. The earth was fresh and new. Noah had been given a new covenant relationship with God. Noah had sanctified the earth with a burnt offering in gratitude to God, for providing salvation to himself and his family. So, now everything should be perfect, there should be no sin, and everybody should live happily ever after. Right? Well, what is obvious from this portion of Scripture is that even though this is a new beginning in a new world, it is the same old sin that is still there.
Click on the link below to hear a message on how we are to deal with sin that occurs in our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is important to understand that hatred, discontent, and anger in a church will destroy the effectiveness of the Spirit of God in that church. Self-righteous pride about the failing of another brother will quench the Spirit of God in that church. You cannot be in the will of God and be harboring hatred or disdain toward one another.
No matter what this Christian has done, if we want this church to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit, we cannot harbor discontent, hatred, or anger, toward someone within our own church, or to another Christian. We are instead to have a fervent charity, or an agape love for one another. The word fervent means that it is to be at full strength. We are to have a biblical agape love, at full strength, for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Why should we have this fervent charity? Peter tells us, “for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” The purpose of this fervent love is to build a spirit of unity within the church. When we love one another, we look past each other’s faults.
