A Grave Sin

There is a trend in some parts of American society to say that our soldiers do not serve for the sake of defending freedom — American or that of other countries. Instead, young men and women are said to be duped into giving their lives for political and economic purposes that have nothing to do with civil freedoms. Whether or not these claims are true, it sounds terrible when one hears another say that these brave young people have given their lives in vain. That is tragic enough but to say that Christ gave his life in vain is a grave sin. Yet that is just what we do when we think we must add law-keeping and good works to his sacrifice on the cross.
