Sin disturbs the fabric of human relationships.
The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation."
Exodus 34:6-7 (ESV)
We often focus on parts rather than the whole. God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and He does forgive, forget and restore. Yet this does not mean He ignores justice or sin's effects on individuals and families. When we sin, we hurt ourselves, those we love, and all those around us. A sinful parent can injure a generation or more of children, making this life more challenging than it should be, and the next life unthinkable.
Sin disturbs the fabric of human relationships, affects our physical and mental health, and has the capability of intergenerational destruction. Therefore, those who love hate sin.
God alone sees the destruction sin imposes on humanity. Therefore, He alone is in the position to judge, and He will.
Walking with God and hating sin and its effects are critical to a successful life. For now, the choices are mine.
