The Sin but not the Sinner

While sin is part of our human experience, it is not without cost and effect. As Christians the discipline we receive is the validation of our permanent place and our eternal position with the Lord (Hebrews 12:6-11). The discomfort we experience awakens us to the gift of His provision rather than the wrath of His judgment (1 Corinthians 11:32). God’s plan, while on Earth, always includes the opportunity for repentance leading to restoration (1 Timothy 2:4).
