I was reflecting upon the events that have happened over the past week, and right there in that plagiarism case, God revealed to me His message of grace.
Please allow me to elaborate by talking about three subjects -- the offence, the offender and the offended.
Rev Peter Koh plagiarised Rev P G Mathew's article on antinomianism.
The offence = plagiarism
The offender = Rev Koh
The offended = Rev Mathew
Strictly speaking, anyone and everyone else that is not a party to the above relationship is irrelevant. Should Rev Mathew choose to forgive Rev Koh of the offence (which he has), then the case is and should be considered closed. We should not try to take Rev Mathew's place.
Let's now apply this to the grace message by talking about the same three subjects -- the offence, the offender and the offended.
All mankind have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.
The offence = sin
The offender = mankind
The offended = God
Using the same analogy, anyone and everyone else that is not a party to the above relationship is irrelevant. Should God choose to forgive mankind of the offence (which He has), then the case is and should be considered closed. We should not try to take God's place.
Dear brothers and sisters, your entire life of sins was judged on the body of Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago. God, the offended, has forgiven you, the offender of sin, your offence.
So do not let any preacher try to take the place of God to tell you otherwise. Amen?

Let apply Grace by looking on the cross when remember some 2000 years ago....Heaven stood still when Christ took all the punishment for mankind, the offender and God (offended)is very please with His Son when He remember mankind's sins no more!
With human's flesh, we can never forgive but with the cross and His Grace, we can through His finished work.
Amen! Tks for the reminder Mal :)
