"Be sure your sin will find you out!" Numbers 32:23',
Back to The Pastor's Morning Visit
Sin cannot be concealed!
It meets the eye of God—and affects the heart of God!
And unless we find it out, confess it with sorrow, and forsake it with disgust—it will find us out, and expose us to the rod of God, and the contempt of godly men!
Sin found Achan out—and proved his ruin!
Sin found Noah out—and covered him with disgrace!
Sin found David out—so that the sword never departed from his house!
However secret the sin—God is a witness! "He who covers his sin shall not prosper; but he who confesses and forsakes his sins, shall find mercy."
Let us be careful that we give sin no quarter, or vainly imagine that because God loves us—that He is unconcerned about our sin. He assures us our sin will find us out!
Oh, to hate sin as God hates it!
Oh, to loathe it as Jesus loathed it!
Sin is . . .
the source of all our miseries,
the cause of all our pains, and
the occasion of all our troubles.
Sin cannot be hidden!
Sin will find us out—and sorely wound us!
