Numbers; 32:23
(But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.)
When David sinned with Bathsheba, she became pregnant with his child. Now if the sin itself wasn't bad enough, David decided to try to cover it up. So David called Joab and told him to put Bathsheba's husband Uriah in the front lines at battle and then back away from him so that he would be killed. The sin of adultery was bad now he was going to commit murder by having Uriah killed in battle. As we know, the cover up didn't work because God saw everything and was displeased with David. David confessed his sin and was forgiven by God but there was still consequences for that sin. David and Bathsheba lost their son who was born to them.
How often we think we can cover up our sin thinking no one will know. We sometimes forget that God see everything we do good or evil.
Hebrews; 4:13
(And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.)
In our own mind we may feel we have gotten away with a sin, but God say you haven't. That is a very sobering thought when you think about it. All of us have done things we didn't think anyone knew about but God says He knew.
The Bible talks about sin as being leaven in a lump of dough. Once the leaven is introduced, it will eventually permeate the whole lump. When we allow any form of sin to get foothold in our life, it will continue to spread into more sin. We all sin and have fallen short of the glory of God and are in need of forgiveness. God tells us if we confess our sin He will forgive us, but we need to turn away from sin in the future. All sin is evil in the eyes of God and there is a price that must be paid. Now for all who have come to faith in Jesus Christ, the price has been paid at the cross. But for those who have not come to Jesus for forgiveness, they will have to pay the price themselves.
Romans; 6:23
(For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.)
You don't have to pay the price yourself because Jesus has already died in your place when He went to the cross. He died for all the sins ever committed, but you must come to Him to be forgiven for those sins. Come to Jesus today and get right with God. Once you die there is no second chance of forgiveness, you will then pay the price yourself. You will be eternally separated form God in the Lake of Fire.
God Bless You!

Hi Terry - its always good to "meet" another Christ-follower.
And wonderful to see your passion for the gospel.
Thanks for visiting Sonsearcher and leaving a comment there.
I am so curious though: I have noticed that someone from Cheyenne, Wyoming visits Sonsearcher quite regularly - is that you?
