Men And Their Sin

If any man, anytime, anyplace can ever sin and get away with it I will close my Bible and preach no more. Numbers 32:23, Galatians 6:7-8. Just as sure as there is a God in heaven, if you are bound to sin you are bound to suffer!

What about the Christian who sins, does he get away with it? NO! His sin is covered by the blood of the Lord Jesus. If he could sin and get by, then Hebrews chapter 12 is not true. Your sin will be pardoned by Christ, or it will be punished in hell. Not 1% of one sin will ever get by unnoticed, or unpunished by God. If so, God would not be a holy and righteous God. Every sin must be punished. The only thing between the unrepentant sinner and the judgment of God is time. That is all, John 3:18.
