God On A Sin Hunt

Is God on a sin hunt? Many Christians of today have been left with the impression that God is on a sin Hunt. And that He has given the Holy Spirit to always poke us when we sin. This is why this article “God on a sin hunt” is very important for the church today. To tackle this topic I would like to use a story in the Bible that many people refer to when they want to give the impression that God is on a sin hunt.

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible is one story many refer to (Genesis 13). What comes to mind when you hear of Sodom and Gomorrah? God’s wrath and judgment? The truth is that God was not all out to judge the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. He was on a righteousness hunt and not a sin hunt.

How do we know this? If God was on a sin hunt, He would not have allowed anyone to stop Him. But we know from the story that He let Abraham in on what He had planned to do and even allowed him to entreat Him.

Abraham was able to entreat God for the whole city with the lives of 10 righteous people if they were found (note he started from 50 to 45…40… and down to 10). As the story goes, only Lot was found to be righteous and he was spared with His family. He started from 50 to 10 and God was patient with Him because He was hunting for the righteous. From the sequence you can even say that if Abraham had gone down to 1 righteous man, God would have spared the whole city. Why? Because God was not on a sin hunt but on a righteousness hunt. But Abraham was confident there would be at least 10 righteous people in that city.

Now, if God was not all out to destroy then, how much more today, when God has already judged our sins in the body of His Son Jesus Christ? At the cross, Jesus exhausted all of God’s fiery judgments until there was no more fire of God’s wrath left for us!

My Beloved, today God is not judging us for our sins because He has found the righteousness of the one Man—Christ Jesus. So do not let anyone tell you that God judges you for your sins and punishes you with many of the misfortunes that come your way. God would be unjust if He punished the same sins twice—in Jesus’ body and then in yours.

Beloved, God is not out to judge you but to bless you today, not because you deserve it, but because Jesus was judged and punished in your place!
