Unforeseen Consequences

 

The life choices we made always have consequences. Both positive and negative results come into our lives and the lives of those with whom we interact, depending on the things we say and do. Contrary to the popular phrase, no man is an island. Everything we do impacts those around us.

This is especially true regarding sin. The consequences of a sinful act can manifest like a car crash, an immediate response to what we do or fail to do. Or the consequences may become evident after a long period of time, like a lifelong bad diet. One piece of cake won’t kill you, but a lifestyle of donuts, soda, and Cheetos will eventually and probably bring death sooner than normal. 

In the same way that one cannot look at the back of his own head, we oftentimes cannot see the negative impact of the sins we somehow justify.
