why we sin
We
know sinners go to hell where their torment would last from generations to
generations endlessly
We
know that fornicators and masturbators and sexual-immorals won’t inherit the
kingdom of God.
We
know that liars and fraudsters and cheats and hypocrites and abortionist and
murderers would be cast into hellfire where there would be weeping and gnashing
of teeth forever yet many Christian folks still sin, they still transgress
God’s law over and over again and you might want to know why
*Because
sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of
the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Eccles 8:11*
There
is a sentence on all evil-doers and because of the love and patience of God
that these sinners, such sentence is not carried out speedily and these have
made many to continue in sin.
There
were days when sin attracts instant punishment; when Achan was stoned to death,
the earth opened up for Korah and co. to fall straight into Hell, when leprosy
fell on Miriam and death awaited Aaron and when Moses was denied the grace to
enter the promised land and was asked to go and die and when Ananias and
Saphira died instantly for lying etc. those days the sentence on sin was been
carried out instantly without delay and many perished instantly.
God
doesn’t want you to perish in sin; hell is no place for you that’s why He has
delayed the sentence on sinners. This delay is to afford you to time and
privilege to repent of your sins and not cause you to continue in such sins.
The Lord is not slack
concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to
us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance. 2Pet. 3:9
God’s
slackness about the sentence on evil doers is so that we might repent and not
perish but take note that delay is not denial, that it delayed means it would
become more terrible for sinners than earlier described because they refused to
use their grace period to repent.
God bless
you
