The consequences of sin They came to humanity as a product of Adam’s disobedience that he did not follow the ordinance given by the Creator, falling to temptation, and that affected human nature, separating him from God and from everything He had promised for his life, and in turn condemnation to hell.
However, through the sacrifice of Jesus one can have a opportunity to cover the sins of all those who repentbecause the practice of sin will bring consequences for all those who practice it, that is why the word teaches “He who covers his sins will not prosper” reaching many terrible consequences for the lives of those who do not repent of their bad steps.
The sin
When speaking of sin, he refers to the Hebrew word “Jattath” What does it mean missing the mark or not reaching a set goal. In this way, sin came to break the communion that existed between God and man, and that was because of the disobedience of Adam and EveThat is why every man on earth has that sinful nature.
In this sense, sin comes to appear in the lives of people as something delightful and that produces a temporary pleasure in the lives of people, producing tragic consequences in their lives for transgressing the mandates left by God in the Holy writingsand among some of these sins the Bible teaches
“And manifest are the works of the flesh, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorceries, enmities, lawsuits, jealousy, anger, contentions, dissensions, heresies, envy, homicides, drunkenness, orgies, and similar things these; about which I warn you, as I have told you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God” (Galatians 5:19-21).
That is why the word of God teaches that through the sin will destitute people from the kingdom of heavensince there are parameters that must be met to enter heaven, and if these mandates are broken or they do not repent of it, what the Bible says will be fulfilled.
“Don’t you know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? do not err; Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminates, nor those who lie down with men, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
Similarly, there are other verses that allow us to show what God hatesand that every believer should avoid doing, since that will lead to eternal damnation, since whoever practices sin has a diversity of consequences.
“Six things the LORD hates, and seven things his soul abhors: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked thoughts, feet that hasten to run to evil, a false witness that speaks lies, and the one who sows discord between brothers” (Proverbs 6:16-19)
“But the dogs will be outside, and the sorcerers, the fornicators, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and lies” (Revelation 22:15)
Consequences of Sin
When a person commits sin, it will produce a variety of consequences for his life, and among them are the following:
1.- Sin brings death
When a person allows sin to be part of his life that brings very big consequences, since his spiritual life will be destroyed by carnal worksand will not allow the Holy Spirit to rule his life, bringing spiritual blindness and a chain of oppression that brings the spiritual death of the person.
“For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23)
Thus, when a person does not allow the God’s spirit work in your life, that brings a curse to your spiritual life, bringing an internal conflict that will lead you to perdition, and consequently the separation of eternity with God.
2.- Sin distances you from God
When a person sins, the same thing happens to him that happened to Adam and Eve when they sinned, who hid from God, showing that they away from himin things that he had not allowed them to do.
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)
In this way, when a person sins, he is telling God that he prefers the things of the world than his mandates and precepts, bringing with him God’s withdrawal from your lifebecause it doesn’t come close to him.
«O adulterous souls, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? So whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (James 4:4).
3.- Sin destroys the person
When a person sins, they are destroying themselves. fulfilling the law of sowing and harvestingthat is to say that sin brings destruction to his life, leading him to suffering and failure, something that God does not want for his creation
“Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked: for everything that man will sow, that will also reap. For he who sows for his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh; But he who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit” (Galatians 6:7-8).
In this sense, when a person commits any type of sin, that causes the people sinful behaviors that distances them from God, producing in them that destruction of their life, bringing with it that spiritual death that the Holy Scriptures speak of: “The soul that sins shall die” (Ezekiel 18:20).
4.- Sin enslaves the person
When a person commits a sin, he becomes a slave to the improper action, since it gives legal right to this action I took control of your life, since the person cannot be free of it, but each day is tied with more force as a result of the spiritual chains that have allowed it to wrap it up.
“Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin” (John 8:34).
This sense the man He does not have the capacity to break those chains, for that is broken, solely, by the power of God, which is achieved through the sacrifice on the cross that brought freedom to the captive souls.
“Do you not know that when you present yourselves as slaves to someone to obey him, you are slaves to him whom you obey, whether it be to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?” (Romans 6:16)
5.- Sin produces eternal damnation
The person who does not fulfill the commandments of God, satisfying their carnal desires and having a lifestyle where sin is part of itthat will bring eternal damnation in hell, because if they do not repent they will be counted as that group that will have eternal suffering.
“Don’t you know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? do not err; Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminates, nor those who lie down with men, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
6.- Sin causes pain in the soul of the person
When a person has a life of sin his soul is boundAs long as he does not confess his failures or errors before God, he will not be able to have that liberation of his soul, because he will feel overwhelmed and lost, since he will walk in a life without divine purpose.
“While I kept silent about my sin, my body was consumed with my groaning throughout the day. Because day and night your hand was heavy on me; my vitality was fading in the summer heat. I have revealed my sin to you, and have not covered my iniquity” (Psalms 32:3-5).
7.- Sin saddens God
When a person lives in sin, he is ignoring God’s authority in his life, therefore this causes God to be saddened because his creation does not recognize him and does not have faith in Him, “Everything that does not come from faith is sin” (Romans 14:24)
“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption” (Ephesians 4:30)
8.- Sin brings with it more sins
The life of a person sin brings with it the multiplication of evil acts before God, bringing with him ties and chains that come to oppress his life, causing bad actions and sinful acts to govern his entire being.
“Woe to the rebellious children, declares the Lord who execute plans, but not mine, and make an alliance, but not according to my Spirit, to add sin to sin!” (Isaiah 30:1)
How to Overcome Sin
The greatest desire of God is that all people come to genuine repentance so as not to suffer eternal damnation in hell, for this reason he teaches that there are a diversity of consequences that sin produces, but in the same way he talks about how to obtain that salvation that brings him liberation from sin and allows him an eternity in his presence.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Through the sacrifice made by Jesus on the cross allows all sins of humanity have been personified, bringing with it the liberation of souls from the chains that oppressed them as a result of sin. Therefore every person who trusts in Jesus declaring him as his Savior, recognizing his liberating power.
“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he quickened together with him, forgiving you all trespasses, annulling the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, taking it out of the way, and nailing her to the cross; and dispossessing principalities and powers, he publicly exhibited them, triumphing over them on the cross »(Colossians 2: 13-15)
That is why God in his immense love for humanity sent Jesus to die for sinnersand in this way bring the opportunity to approach the heavenly throne, through that sacrifice made for each sinner.
- “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12).
- “Who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we, being dead to sins, might live to righteousness; and by whose stripes you were healed” (1 Peter 2:24)
In this way God achieved that humanity had another chance to get closer to himTherefore, it does not reject sinners who approach repentant, because God welcomes you with open arms.when they decide to leave sin behind and decide to follow the Lord in all his ways.
- “But if we confess our sins to God, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
- «For this is good and pleasing before God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:3-5)
On the other hand, the person who confesses his sins and turns away will allow the Holy Spirit of God bring in your life the renewal of your mind, carrying with it breaking that flawed mind that chained her, and renewing her mind with the principles of the Holy Scriptures, through study of them.
