Our sin separates us from God and invites His judgment (Isaiah 59:1-2; Romans 6:23). An unrepentant heart makes us hide from God and everyone associated with Him. Our life becomes a ruse as we try to hide who and what we really are. None of this takes away our sin, helps us escape its consequences, or makes us a different person. It only takes us further away from God. We may convince ourselves that we are hiding because we are ashamed. But if we were really ashamed, we’d apologize and ask for forgiveness, knowing that “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

Description

1 Kings 14:1-33 When Jeroboam was confronted with his sin, he hid and didn’t change a thing. When David was confronted with his sin, He asked for forgiveness and God gave it. David’s sin was washed away but Jeroboam’s damaged his relationship with God forever.
