       The other way to look at this passage is with unbelievers in mind. In that case, it may be that a particular sin is causing someone from accepting Jesus and becoming a Christian. It could be that a person is involved in some type of sexual immorality, and doesn’t want to acknowledge that that way of life is in fact sin. He or she wants to keep that sin. Or, perhaps a person is involved in another religion, and was even raised in that religion, and accepting Jesus will mean that he or she has to give up that belief system. And, of course, that’s a big deal for the person. A person may not want to take that step of faith and believe he has been in the wrong all of his life. And, to complicate matters, a person would have to go against family members who still believe in the other religion. And the person feels he can’t do that. But Jesus encourages everyone today that they should take that big step in believing in him, and what he says is true, so that they can save their own lives, and accept the truth of the world.
