God’s Righteousness vs. the Power of Sin

February 10, 2026 / / 0 Comments

If you owed a billion dollars and someone graciously paid the entire amount, you would be free of the debt.

That would be fantastic!

But now your bank balance would be zero and you would still be bankrupt.

You would have no assets, and you would still be without the means to support yourself.

Similarly, God has made payment for our sin debt through the blood of Christ.

But now where do we get the power to overcome the sin that indwells us so we can live righteously from here on out? Continue reading

Imagine for a moment that you owe someone a staggering amount of money—let’s say a billion dollars.

There is no way that you would ever be able to pay it off.

In order for you to be rescued from this predicament, a very wealthy and generous person would have to pay it for you.

The Watchtower teaches a two-class salvation system.

It says there’s a “little flock” (Luke 12:32) of 144,000 anointed Christians who will be resurrected in spirit form and rule with Jesus from heaven.

These are the ones who are “born again.”

Then there’s the great crowd of “other sheep.”

They don’t need to be born again.

They will never go to heaven but instead will live forever in paradise on earth.

One way to challenge this dogma is to ask the Witnesses about scripture passages which show that Jesus’ invitation and promises are for everyone who will receive him, not just a select group of 144,000. Continue reading
