Myth and Faith-15

 Myth: If you commit one sin nothing happens. If you are not able to stop doing some sin, you can do untill it wont harm you. It is all in the control of one's self.

Faith: Committing sin in like harmning ones self and needs a deliverer/redeemer.

Let us first try to understand this concept of sin.

Sin is like... when u are doing it you may or may not face it's consequences...but you are always vulnerable to its consequences once u are into it. You may get to face it's consequences immediately, or after sometime, or after still little more time....or you may even not encounter the consequences at all too...but once you enter into it, you are vulnerable to the consequences. 

It is just like a person's liver may fail in a very short span after starting drinking, or even after drinking for a few years, or he may not get a liver failure at all. But he is vulnerable to liver failure. The chances of a person facing the consequences are 100% compared to a person who don't commit the sin, but the probability of facing the consequence is 50%(may or maynot have to face the consequences), but same all through the time the person commits the sin. 

This indefinite concept of sin is comparable to that of falling down the bottomless pit in the Bible, to relieve from which God himself should come into this world to remove and give solid rock to stand upon to those who commit sin.

And this very concept of consequences of sin showing up is indefinite, people commit sin fearlessly. In other words, people will have their time until they face the repercussions, or until they come face to face with the consequences either to stop doing it or to repent for it. If the person repents about it and turns to Jesus at any time before his time is up, Jesus is ready to forgive, and such is the Love of Lord Jesus. When it is said that He is able to forgive even the worsest sinner, it means how big is the sin and for how long the person committing the sin, if he turns to Jesus, repents about his sin and acknowleges sacrifice of Jesus and grace of God, God forgives him. 

Trying to stop doing sin on ones own is dependant on ones will power and, if he cannot withstand the temptation, he falls for it again and again. Getting washed/rid off is the only way to come out of the sin, for which, there is no promise in this world except the precious blood of Christ Jesus shed to redeem the mankind from this sin.  

After being washed in the blood of Jesus, the person may still have to face the repurcusiions for his sins he committed in past, but his soul is redeemed. Other wise his soul is doomed to eternal hell.
