I love the narrative in John 8, where the woman was caught in the act of adultery. When the religious leaders brought her to Him and said the Law demanded her death, it wasn’t about their desire to keep the Law. It was rather about them wanting to have something of which to accuse Jesus so that they could justify their own sin: “This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him” (John 8:6).

The Scriptures tell us that Jesus then stooped down and wrote something on the ground “as though he heard them not.”

We don’t know what He wrote on the ground, but I think we can have a good idea. Some say it was the men’s sins, but that would have taken a lot of writing. There’s an easier way to write mean’s sins. I think Jesus wrote the Ten Commandments in the sand. What else does God write with His finger? (see Exodus 31:18). What took place is what happens when the Law does its work—they were convicted in their conscience (John 8:9), and their accusing mouths were stopped (see Romans 3:19-20).

When God wrote His Law in stone it was permanent. But when Jesus wrote in sand, it meant what was written could easily be erased with one move of His merciful hand.

So when self-righteous sinners come to you accusing you of some sin to try and justify their own sinfulness, do what Jesus did. Don’t listen to their accusations. Instead, turn it back on them by giving them the Law, and by the grace of God show them that they can only throw stones if they are without sin.

When a christian shows you that you have commited or are committing sin, the believer's response is to accept and repent. But some of these backsliders will begin to quote that scripture and say, "you too are you not a sinner"? "He that is without sin let him cast the first stone". "Why are you condemning me".

No one is condemning you, but correcting you. There is no repentance/correction in the grave.


"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake of fire" Revelations 21:8

There are christians living such life, and would tag any attempt at correcting them as condemnation. It is dangerous.
