Repentance is only necessary when there is sin. Proverbs 26:2 says that the "curse causeless does not come." God has a cause, a reason, for the calamities He causes or allows.
But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right— / if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.

“But your iniquities (sin) have made a separation between you and your God.” (Isaiah 59:2a) This is by far the biggest consequence of sin. Every sin is an offense to God, and God cannot be in the presence of sin. That is why if you choose to keep committing the same sins without repentance, you will stop feeling His presence in your life. The Holy ...
The following story is extreme, but it shows you how far your sin can take you. Sodom and Gomorrah were 2 of the most reprehensible cities known to man. They were so filled with sin that God could no longer hold back His wrath. God knew that Lot and his wife were dedicated to Him, so He sent 2 angels to warn them to leave before the destruction of ...
When you choose to run your life instead of letting God guide you, catastrophic events can happen. King Herod was an evil man, full of selfish ambition. He was troubled when he heard Jesus had been born. (Matthew 2:3) He discovered where Jesus was born (Bethlehem), but God, being omniscient (all knowing) led Jesus away safely through Joseph and Mar...
As believers, it is the Holy Spirit that convicts us when we do wrong (John 16:7-8), so that we can repent and be clean again. However, in the case of unbelievers or believers who refuse to repent, sin can catapult us into deeper sin. How does adultery happen? It doesn’t just happen; it is a sin-by-sin process. It starts with a look, “Wow, that per...
“For the wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6:23) It is my prayer that this verse really speaks to you. A true believer will repent of their sins, but those who are rebellious are in serious trouble! Eternal death (separation from God forever) awaits all who choose to not accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. Christ, Himself, says in Matthew 25:41-4...
Sin has many consequences; more than I have mentioned. Sin is always destructive, but repentance is always constructive. Please, give your life over to Christ today! He can take everything you are, and make you into someone you never thought you could be. I am living proof! He absolutely loves you and is waiting for you to come to Him. God bless yo...
- To Discipline Someone for Specific Sin – But be careful! It was their misapplication of this principle that led Job’s friends off track. Many make the same mistake today; therefore, let’s carefully consider this point.
- Because of Human Sin Generally – In Genesis 3, Adam pulled the keystone out of the arch of creation with his sin, and ever since, bricks have been falling on our heads.
- To Mature Believers in Jesus Christ – As a believer in Jesus Christ, you can be sure that, whatever happens, God is causing it to bring his Christ-reflecting and Christ-exalting work in you one step closer to completion (James 1:2-4).
- To Prove Our Faith – A fourth reason God brings calamity into the lives of believers is to prove our faith, both to ourselves and to others. How did God prove that Satan’s accusations against Job were slanderous?
Dec 18, 2023 · Habitual sin won’t cause us to lose our salvation or keep us out of heaven, but it can hinder our fellowship with God if we don’t humbly confess and continually seek restoration. As we grapple with sin in our Christian walk, we must never give up the fight or give in to our sinful desires.
A clear and consistent pattern in the Word of God is that He scatters as a result of sin. Large portions of the Old Testament are dedicated to warning God's people to repent to escape God's judgment, which—as Israel and Judah discovered—involved being scattered.
If a calamity occurs in a city has not the Lord done it? Job 5:19. Verse Concepts. “From six troubles He will deliver you, Even in seven evil will not touch you. Proverbs 1:26-27.
