Words of Wisdom from the Babylon Bee – We all have them … those things we know are wrong and we feel guilty about, yet we continue to do, making excuses after excuses … and asking for forgiveness after forgiveness, knowing on the one hand …
1 John 1:9 – If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Yet, fearful because the Bible also states …
Hebrews 10:26-27 – For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
Of course, we can see the context of Hebrews as being more of a general rejection of the gospel rather than a continuing, repetitive sin … right? After all, even Paul offered an admission that his continuing sin nature was, to some degree, out of his (not the Holy Spirit’s) control ….
Romans 7:15 – For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
But, don’t you wish that God would drop a bunker buster bomb on that hidden sin, destroying it as a continuing temptation? Of course, in the real world, there is often collateral damage from such a large explosion. But, in the end, it’s worth it.
