Sin in the Life of a Believer

Psalm 51:1-15

A saved person can never be lost! The Lord keeps those that He saves. That is His promise and we have His Word on it. We never have to wonder, because He has made it clear enough for a child to understand.

Praise the Lord ? once we are truly born again, we're kept by the power of God. Because we believe that, some people think that we have God behind the eight?ball. We can sin all we want and it doesn't make any difference. But the grace of God is not a license for us to live any way we please. Just because a Christian cannot lose his salvation by sinning; doesn't mean a Christian has nothing to lose.

If a Christian sins, he always suffers. A child of God may sin, but no child of God can sin and not suffer for it. Consider with me this morning what sin does in the life of a believer.

I. It Affects Him Spiritually. v1?2

II. It Affects Us Mentally v3

III. It Affects Our Conscience v4

IV. Sin Affects Our Hearts v8, 12

V. Sin Affects Us Physically v8

VI. Sin Affects Our Spirit v10

VII. Sin Affects Our Witness v14-15

Do we find ourselves here this morning? Sin affects the life of a believer in all these ways and more. Is there any hope? Confession and repentance brings cleansing and forgiveness.

Perhaps you are here this morning, and you are not a Christian, you have never placed your faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary. You can trust Him today! Right now, you can come to Christ by faith.
