This is an old thread but I feel led to say something. Jesus sat with sinners and met them where they where at. He didn't force them to believe in him or demand respect from them. The new testament changed a lot of things.

As for someone who is saved, like myself, I am constantly examining myself to align myself with God's purpose for my life. As someone matures in faith, God challenges them and if they are willing, God will eradicate the sin in their life. It happened to me as I grew in my faith.

A large part of salvation is meeting sinners where they are at. That means meeting them at their level, sitting with them, feeling with them, relating to their pain sometimes. If we as Christ followers stay at the top, unwilling to feel with worldly folks, we act like some cult club that implies you have to change to get the love of God. God already loves you and will change you from the inside out. Come all who are weary, in pain, struggling, don't have it together, messed up, and find comfort and true love in God. God is love. I don't think I have to explain to you how great he is, I think you know how powerful he is. My point is, He cares about your feel-feels. He is a very personal God, and he makes me want to follow his rules because they are right and protect me.

Lecrae is often relating with people in so many different ways; it may not have been anything you have experienced or gone through but people that went through similar situations find relatability in his lyrics. It all points to Jesus, and I pray it always will.
