Tonight we talked about how bad one sin is. In Joshua 7:1-5 we learn about Achan sinning and the death that is caused. In 7:24-26 we learn that it ended with him, his family, his animals, and his possessions being completely destroyed. Achan's sin caused sepration between Israel from God's protection. It caused death for the 36 men attacking Ai. It sent him and his family to death and fire.
Our sin seperates us from God. It hurts those around us. it sends us to hell. That is just one sin, it is enought to do all of those things, that is how bad one sin is. Our sin has eternal consequences. Even if it is a minor sin, even if we don't think it will do any harm, even if we only sin once.
There is good news though. How good is one action, in this case Jesus' death? Jesus' death brings us back in connection with God. When we have hurt people, he can help redeem those situations and bring about healing. His death brings us to heaven. That is how good one action was, it has eternal consequences. Even if it is a major sin, even if we have hurt more people than anyone in history, even if we sin more than we can ever count. All we have to do is this: "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
