Would A Donation Of A Billion Dollars Be Enough To Pay For Your Sins?
Let's suppose you are a billionaire. Let's suppose, even further, that you are about to die. Would a donation of a billion dollars to charity be enough to atone and pay for all your sins?
The answer is a resounding "No!" Sin is a spiritual heinous crime that must be paid by death. It is either death or no payment at all. Sin is that serious. Any heinous crime is serious.
A billion dollars as a penalty for sin is to belittle the holiness of God. It is an insult. Sin is an affront to the holiness of God. And no amount of money can pay for dishonoring His holiness.
Ps 52:7 "Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness."
There are people today who embolden themselves to commit sin, believing that they could pay off their sins by giving donations to charity.
They never understood the fact that it is only through the death of Christ on the cross that sins can be paid and atoned for. Instead of trusting and relying on what Christ did on the cross for the payment of their sins, they trust and rely on their riches.
If you belong to this crowd, eternal disappointment will surely be your lot for it is His death and not your dough that can pay for the penalty of your sins.
