What is the most difficult sin to overcome? Homosexuality? Alcoholism? What is it? You would be surprised that the most difficult sin to overcome is not what most of us would think. It is the most common sin and one we must think about this time of year.

    Hello Clive. You're right that even when God forgives our sins sometimes there are consequences or results and effects of our sins that do last. We have the example of the sin between David and Bathsheba. Even though David repented of this sin, the baby they had still died (2 Samuel 12:13-19). Even though this wasn't a direct result of the particular sin itself (God put this consequence in place for David to learn a lesson) it is a good illustration of how our sins can affect others. This can and should be an additional motivation for us to avoid sin, but not our primary motivation. We should always be motivated by wanting to please God in everything we do. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones” (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-8‬).

    1.When we repent of sin, we are forgiven 2. However , the physical results of that sin (the consequences) remain and will effect us and others around us for generations. That is why sin is so evil and this should be an additional motivator for us to avoid sin. Please will you comment on this basic statement.

    Hello Clive, I really liked Lewis' reply. I'll add another from someone's personal experience. Once upon a time, before conversion, this person lived as he wanted to live. It was neither good nor Godly but apparently acceptable in man's world. He engendered a child but never married the mom, never met the child either. That child (if still alive) never knew her real father. That is the physical result of a sin. The man was forgiven (at Baptism) but cannot change the result of his sin. Sin is very evil, can be forgiven, but can affect us for quite some time. Skip Miller
