Question of the day:
Do you think that Christians are better than non-Christians?
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
Ray Comfort responded to this question by quoting Romans 3:9 and giving the following explanation…
 
Romans 3:9  What then?  Are we better than they?  No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin.
 
The Christian is no better than a non-Christian, but he is infinitely better off.  It is like two men on a plane, one of whom is wearing a parachute while the other is not.  Neither is better than the other, but the man with the parachute is certainly better off than the man who is not wearing a parachute.  The difference will be seen when they jump from the plane.  Jesus warned that if we jump into death without Him, we would perish.
 
Even harsher than the law of gravity is the Law of an infinitely holy and just Creator.  Scripture states that sinners are God’s enemy (Romans 5:10) and that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:31).
