In fact, this reminds me of a popular Christian song I heard by Casting Crowns titled "Jesus, friend of sinners."
For one, there are problems with the lyrics. Second, the chorus of the song leaves us with the impression that Jesus is a friend with people who are still actively sinning against Him. That they do not have to repent of their sins. That being a saint is optional. You can be a big time sinner like you used to be and Jesus is still going to be your friend. But is this true?
No.
It doesn't work like that. Jesus started His ministry with the words "repent." Jesus told the woman who was caught in the act of adultery to sin no more.
Jesus what a friend for sinners Jesus, lover of my soul!
Friends may fail me foes assail me He my savior makes me whole!
Jesus what a strength in weakness! Let me hide myself in Him
Tempted tried and sometimes failing, He my strength, my victory wins!
Jesus what a help in sorrow While the billows o'er me roll
Even when my heart is breaking , He my comfort helps my soul
Jesus what a guide and keeper! While the tempest still is high
Storms about me night o'ertakes me, He my piolot hears my cry
Jesus I do now receive Him More than all in Him I find
He hath granted me forgiveness I am his and He is mine
CORUS:
Hallelujah what a Saviot! Hallelujah what a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end!
How does this hymn condone sin?
