Did you know that the forgiveness of sins does not erase their consequences?
David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan replied, “The LORD has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for the LORD, the son born to you will die. »(2 Samuel 12:13-14)
Although David was forgiven for his sin, his son had to die!
Receiving God’s forgiveness does not eliminate the consequences of our sins. There are still consequences to come.
If you kill, steal, rape or commit any other offense, GOD will forgive you if you repent, but He will not prevent the court of Justice from sentencing you.
If you commit adultery, GOD will forgive you but He will not prevent you from being contaminated with sexually transmitted diseases.
If you harm others, GOD will forgive you, but will not prevent your victims from taking revenge against you.
There are many examples, but let us still recognize that everything is possible by the grace of God.
Let us be aware that our sins have consequences that have nothing to do with God’s forgiveness.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us to always avoid sin.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
