“Sin Has Consequences”

Tonight I heard that “sin has consequences.”

So do grace and love.

“Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound” (Romans 5:20).

“Love covereth all sins” (Proverbs 10:12).

Sin, repented of and properly dealt with, needs no further review and regurgitation.

When we insist on consequences over grace and love, we sow for a bitter harvest.

I don’t wish that harvest on anyone. Especially on myself.

So which will matter most to me in my relationships with those who fail?

Let me allow grace and love to triumph in my heart!

“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7).
