We are literally in covenant with Him. A covenant that was signed in blood—the blood of Jesus Christ that He willingly shed on our behalf as the payment for our sin!
By willfully choosing to sin after accepting His willingness to pay the price for our sin, is to sink to unfathomable depths of ungratefulness for His sacrifice!
It would be like our friend choosing to pay $10,000 in parking fines that we accumulated, and then going out the same day to accumulate more fines … on purpose.
John addressed this strongly when he said,
“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth” (1 John 1:6).
“Whoever says, ‘I know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1 John 2:4).
“Whoever remains in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has not seen Him and does not know Him” (1 John 3:6).
Choosing to intentionally and habitually sin is literally walking in sin. The problem with those who choose to walk in sin is that they have chosen not to walk with Christ. There is a huge difference between unintentionally doing something that offends the Lord and willfully choosing to do something we know he hates and that nailed His only Son on the cross!
Paul said: “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may increase? God forbid! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Rom. 6:1-2).
The problem with intentional and habitual sin is that it shows a distinct lack of fear of God and a complete disregard for Jesus’ sacrifice.
If we can purposely do that which offends God and nailed His precious and only Son on the cross, there is not only a deep and serious problem in our spiritual life, there is a distinct lack of the fear of the Lord.
Proverbs says:
“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate” (Prov. 8:13).
“By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil” (Prov. 16:6).
The fear of God reminds us that God sees, God knows, and God will tell!
3. Confession and being caught are not the same.
There is a significant difference in the heart when the Holy Spirit leads us to a place of repentance that happens upon confession, and being caught in our sin.
Being caught means we are still in the act of our sin, and conviction—while may be occurring—is not in sufficient measure so as to bring us to a place where we, of our volition, freely confess our sins and repent. In fact, many people who are caught go on to continue their sin by another means, proving that confession and repentance never occurred at all.
To be sure, being caught can be the blow it takes to lead one to genuine confession, but showing remorse for being caught does not always mean confession has actually taken place.
All sins are not equal, but all sins require a Savior and they all need God’s grace and forgiveness
Please understand, I am not saying that sins that are not sexual in nature are insignificant.
All sins separate us from God.
All sinners need a Savior.
All sin causes a breakdown in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Yet, while all sin is offensive to God, there are sins that are significantly more offensive than others. Much as it is offensive to me when my husband is angry with me. But the offense I feel to that could not possibly compare to the offense I would feel if I discovered his name on the Ashley Madison website.
