***With God, we can ignore the base joys, the instant gratification, in exchange for the greater joy of following Christ. We don’t always do that, but with Christ we have the ability.***
But do you? And what happens if you don’t? Is there a consequence?
There can be residuals from sin. For instance, overendulging with wine, you can wake up with a hangover. Overeating, especially for a long period of time, (trust me, I know about this) can result in diabetes, heart trouble, and other assorted maladies.
Other sins will have their own consequences, I don’t need to get into them, I think you get the idea, but none of these sins will cause you to lose your salvation. Jesus said that he will not lose one of his own that his Father gave him. We do suffer consequences, but not loss of eternal life.
