There are a good deal of stupid people behind the wheels of America’s automobiles today. But there are always stupid people in any population and stupid as a condition is not really a sin. However, many of the people you might call stupid by the way they behave in their cars are not really stupid. The truth is that they are sinful.
If you go 20 mph over the speed limit and weave in and out of traffic at rush hour, causing other cars to slam on their brakes and slow traffic down more, then you are committing several sins. You are breaking speed limit statutes, violating reckless driving laws, putting other’s lives and autos at risk, being selfish, projecting arrogance, increasing anger, raising tension levels, inflating insurance rates, imposing your inappropriate behavior on others, and disrupting the good order of society in a negative manner.
A speeding jerk who has the audacity to claim that "I basically live a good life, I should get to go to Heaven" is kidding himself. Against the peace, patience, and purity of Jesus Christ, such a one is deserving of Hell.
The Lord is serious about sin. In Jeremiah 2:35 the Lord responds to those who say, "I am innocent; surely his anger has turned from me." He replies, "Now I am bringing you to judgment for saying, 'I have not sinned.' " All sinners have a need to be redeemed by Jesus Christ. May the Lord of life and peace speed your path to righteousness.
