So, if I sin and forget about it and fail to repent, too bad for me, eh?
I don’t see it that way.
King David prayed for God to forgive him for his secret sins; his unknown sins.
I think we are called to walk in an ongoingly
CONFESSED-UP; REPENTED-UP; PRAYED-UP; WHOLE ARMORED OF GOD UP; FORGIVING UP
STATE—CERTAINLY IN OUR ATTITUDES AND IN OUR HEARTS . . . and as consciously aware, with our conscious verbal confession, repentances, assertions, declarations etc.
GOD LOOKS ON THE HEART.
However, I think those who
satan whispers to . . .
AHhh, that one little thing doesn’t matter, forget about it. No need to mention THAT to God. No need to worry about THAT. It was only a white lie. It was only half an hour of net porn. It was only an evening of justified rage . . . .
And creeping denail sets in . . .
Then creeping denial grows into creeping rebellion.
Before long, folks are inching then leaping away from God while telling themselves everything is cool, or cool enough.
I don’t think God sees it that way at some point.
You can sin and forget about it?
I’m not being meanspirited here, but I know when I sin, there’s no way I can forget about it. The Holy Spirit won’t let me forget, especially if I do nothing about it. He, literally, has taken my sleep and my peace of mind away until I’ve dealt with it.
How are you able to sin and forget about it when He’s there reminding you of it? I’m being serious and straight forward in my confusion here.
