This book is for all those of us who love the Lord Jesus:
because this whole topic is an issue that deeply concerns every one
of us, and it really matters. Is there indeed a sin we treat as a
virtue? Could this possibly be true of us, of me?
If there is something basic in biblical teaching about the way I
live that is somehow slipping past me, then I want to do something
about this. I will be eager to learn what it is, so that I can
bring my life into line with the will and plan of God, by the power
of the Holy Spirit: because of my love for the Lord Jesus - who
said to his disciples, "If you love me, you will do what I command
you" (John 14:15). And he said to those who claim to be his
disciples, "How can you call me 'Lord, Lord, ' and not do the
things that I tell you?" (Luke 6:17, 46.)
Yes, there is a sin we are treating as a virtue.
This sin is greed--sheer plain greed. Coveting. The comfortable,
respectable, sin. But the extremely dangerous and damaging sin. It
is condemned by the Tenth Commandment. It is the sin Christ spoke
against more often and more vehemently than any other-- he warned
against it in the strongest possible terms: "Beware Take care Watch
out " It chokes the Word of God in your life, he said. It hinders a
person entering the Kingdom of God and deprives them of eternal
life. That is how serious it is. Paul said that greed is a form of
idolatry and can destroy a person. He found this sin sneaky,
tricky, and insidious. The risk to us from this sin is all the
worse because it is so often not recognized as sin. It is so
all-pervasive that we do not actually see its deceitful danger. But
statistics show it is insidiously at work in the church, seriously
affecting its work and witness in the world.
It is a trap and a snare that can so easily catch us quite
unawares. Breaking free of it is in fact one of the most difficult
issues we face in our Christian lives. Can anything be done about
this? Yes It is crucial that we become aware of what the Bible says
about it, and then think through how to live our lives in
accordance with biblical teaching.
This book will point to all the relevant Scriptures. Can you
afford not to heed what they say? They just might save you from
spiritual disaster. Don't treat this lightly. Jesus didn't. Paul
didn't.
