No Sin Is Hidden Forever: An Important Reminder Every Christian Needs to Hear

In the eyes of God, there is no such thing as "secret sin." It's something we can all forget (or at least pretend to) from time to time, but the Apostle Paul gives us a direct reminder in the reading featured in this Sincerely Yours devotional podcast. And if we truly desire to receive the benefits of God’s goodness, we all need to hear it.







Today's Reading

1 Timothy 5:19-25 (MSG)

19 Don’t listen to a complaint against a leader that isn’t backed up by two or three responsible witnesses.

20 If anyone falls into sin, call that person on the carpet. Those who are inclined that way will know right off they can’t get by with it.

21-23 God and Jesus and angels all back me up in these instructions. Carry them out without favoritism, without taking sides. Don’t appoint people to church leadership positions too hastily. If a person is involved in some serious sins, you don’t want to become an unwitting accomplice. In any event, keep a close check on yourself. And don’t worry too much about what the critics will say. Go ahead and drink a little wine, for instance; it’s good for your digestion, good medicine for what ails you.

24-25 The sins of some people are blatant and march them right into court. The sins of others don’t show up until much later. The same with good deeds. Some you see right off, but none are hidden forever.
