Despite popular belief, the Bible does not always support or defend those individuals who seem to have their lives in complete order. For instance, Jesus once told the Pharisees that the tax collectors and prostitutes would enter heaven before them. This is significant because the Pharisees were looked down upon and condemned because they sought to be righteous in and of themselves, while the prostitutes were accepted because they came to Jesus with nothing to hide or be ashamed of- their sinful lives. Jesus did not say that the prostitutes who had become upright women would enter heaven, which ultimately demonstrates that the Bible does not always protect or support those who have everything perfectly in order.Jesus was presenting a direct contrast between two things: salvation as a process, and salvation as a complete package. I believe that salvation is not a process, but rather it is like getting the whole package up front. So Jesus was talking about a spiritual transformation. This is why there is a direct contrast, because it is more than a change of life, but a new attitude of the heart. We have this distinction set out throughout scripture.The Christian mind is transformed by grace and love, instead of hate and hurt. This change is not simply a new desire to be holy, but a complete transformation that can only be accomplished by supernatural means. This makes the Christian attitude and approach to counseling dramatically different from the world's view; we no longer try to force someone to love us, but instead rely on the supernatural qualities that God has given us.God's love for us fundamentally changes everything, and enables us to have loving relationships with others. We don't achieve unity through some sort of negotiation or contract, but through God himself. In other words, we go from being a hateful and alienated person from God, to being loved by God, and thus it spills over into our relationships. We do not experience unity by a transaction, but by one Person.
