Sin leads to destruction. Without repentance eternal life will be in eternal lake of fire a place of eternal torment. No one can live with guilt forever. Guilt either causes you to fall on your knees or causes you to sin more because of running away and trying to hide from God. Adam and Eve when they sinned hide from God. As generation came and went and sin became a problem for Adam and Eve’s offspring they would do it openly not even caring to cover it up. Hezekiah was a king that sinned in the eyes of the Lord, but He was also a king that was not afraid to repent when called on his transgressions. Yet what more disturbing about the King Hezekiah in Jewish history is his understanding his own action could effect future generation and he had no care that it did. As a ruler he would be in pain of guilt every night if his power was used to sin. See the power of guilt is to conviction of both the Holy Spirit and one justification of right and wrong. Every leader that made mistakes in office would never deal well with his mistakes, unless he learn all had sinned and fall short of the glory of God. President Trump will make mistakes in office just like every President before him. Yet, he might not be able to fix every mistake he made but he can repent and be done with the error of his ways.

Does our sin effect us? Sin effects our eternity as well as it effects not only our sub conscious but it can effect our entire life. Without turning from sin one is doomed, yet it is God’s grace and God’s mercy that if any man calls on his name He will be saved if he will turn from his sin and/ backslidden ways. Main thing repentance the running way from sin or turning from sin. Some people go through periods of sinning for season but it is short lived. Others choose sin over obeying God.

Several sins in this passage that pointed out that God is not pleased with would be sin of lusting/ coveting a neighbors wife, idolatry, thievery, and even oppressing the poor. Did you know these were sins or did you just find out. God needs not to give you a long list, only convict your heart of sin by His Spirit and by His Word. To show you the error, so you can adjust your life accordingly. Yet just adjusting one’s life is not enough. One needs to ask God forgiveness and receive Jesus the Word God before the New Testament and the Word of God in flesh in the New Testament, as well as God’s word. The disciples rebuked Jesus more then once on the way to cross and through out his ministry only to repent of their sin later. They learn to trust in Jesus and his word that it was true. Eternal life was for all that would believer and repent from sin.

God is waiting on you to look to His redemption plan through His Word/Son Jesus, who died on the cross for yours and mine sin. Receive and repent of your sins today.
