what does God do to a Christian who commit a willful sin?

Answer 1

Forgive them.

Answer 2

God does nothing. The Christian made the decision to break communion with God and will not go to Heaven until he repents of his sin (repent also means to not commit anymore). Even after his repentance, he would still suffer the consequences of that sin in this life.

Answer 3

Anyone who sins separates him/herself from God. The Holy Spirit will convict the heart of the Christian so that (s)he will repent & seek forgiveness and the sin will be forgiven. That doesn't mean there won't be negative consequences to their action. (S)He may have to pay a painful price for that decision. God uses painful discipline to teach us not to sin willfully again if we don't want to pay the price. No different than any father disciplining His child.

Answer 4

Read Hosea 2. That's a good nutshell.

He hems you in and starves you out, so to speak. Not only does your conscience eat at you, but you find no pleasure in your sin. You're miserable and restless. This is the gift of God to lead you to repentance. Because once you're hedged in like that, He draws you back to Himself with His love. You get to the point where you realize you were so much better off with Him than running after everything else you've been running after. It's rather like the story of the prodigal son. He lets you leave, but He won't let you stay content in your self-destructive life.

His jealousy is not rooted in insecurity, let me say that.

But it's much easier to get away with sin before you're a Christian.

Answer 5

God rights all wrongs in one way or another, willful sin grieves the Spirit, repentant Christians will be forgiven.

Answer 6

He will not hear there prayers for sin builds a wall between us and our father God the only way to get back in his grace is to repent ask forgiveness of our sins and repent means to turn away from them and stop.
It doesnt matter who you are or were you been just reach out and he will reach in.
you could be a million miles away from God but it's only one step back to him.

Answer 7

Its all about mercy and grace - God will forgive us - but understand that we are always given a way out of sinning a choice

Answer 8

I personally believe God forgives all our sins, but that is only my opinion. I also believe every person has their right to their opinion. I do not like it when people think that what they believe is the only answer. I am opened minded and if someone believes something else I don't disagree with them I just tell them what I believe and leave them to their own believe. I BELIEVE we all sin.
but hopefully we learn from our mistakes. So MY answer to
your question is I believe he forgives.

Answer 9

It's God's nature to forgive if the person repents. Unfortunately, if he doesn't... judgment will come (May not right away... but eternity will be terrible). But God's mercy it's amazing!!! So, repent and seek God... He'll be waiting with arms open-wide!

Answer 10

1. Allah is most Merciful
The Qur’an says several times that Allah is the most Merciful. In fact all the 114 Surahs i.e. chapters of the Glorious Qur’an except for Surah Taubah chapter 9, begin with the beautiful formula, Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir-Rahim, which means, "In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful".

2. Allah is Forgiving
The Glorious Qur’an mentions in several verses including Surah Nisa, chapter 4 verse 25 and Surah Maidah, chapter 5 verse 74:

"And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

3. Allah gives severe punishment to the deserving
Allah besides being Merciful and Forgiving is also strict in giving punishment to the deserving. The Qur’an mentions in several verses that Allah will give severe punishment to the unbelievers and rejecters of faith. He will give punishment to all those who disobey Him. Several verses of the Qur’an describe the various types of severe punishment that Allah will give in hell to all those who disobey.

"Those who reject our Signs, we shall soon cast into the Fire; as often as their skins

Are roasted through, we shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise".
[Al-Qur’an 4:56]

4. Allah is Just
The question is, whether Allah is forgiving or revengeful? An important point to be noted is that Allah besides being Merciful and Forgiving, He also has to give severe punishment to the deserving wicked or evil people, because He is also Just. The Qur’an mentions in Surah Nisa: "Allah is never unjust in the least degree".
[Al-Qur’an 4:40]

It is further mentioned in Surah Al-Ambiya:

"We shall set up scales of justice for the day of Judgement, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least. And if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, we will bring it (to account): and enough are we to take account".
[Al-Qur’an 21:47]

5. Example: Teacher forgives a student who copies in the examination
If during an examination, a student copies and the teacher who supervises in the examination catches the student red-handed, the teacher says that he is very merciful and kind and forgives him and allows him to continue copying. Those students who have worked hard for the examination will not call the teacher merciful and kind but will call him unjust. This merciful act of the teacher will encourage the other students to also copy. If all the teachers are merciful and kind and allow the students to copy then no student will ever study for examinations and all will pass with flying colours by copying. The theoretical results of the examinations will be excellent in which all the students will pass with first class and distinction but practically these students will be a failure in life. The whole purpose of the examination would be defeated.

6. This Life is a Test for the Hereafter
The life in this world is a test for the Hereafter. The Qur’an says in Surah Al Mulk: "He who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed; and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving".
[Al-Qur’an 67:2]

7. If Allah forgives all and punishes none, who will obey him?
If Allah (swt) forgives each and every human being and punishes no one, then why should the human beings obey the command of Allah (swt)? I do agree that no one will go to hell, but this world would become hell to live in. If all human beings are going to go to heaven then what is the purpose and use of the human beings to come to this world, this life cannot be called a test for the hereafter.

8. Allah only forgives if a person repents
Allah (swt) only forgives if a person repents. The Qur’an says in Surah Al-Zumar, chapter 39 verse 53-55:

"Say: ‘O my servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

"Turn ye to your Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (will), before the penalty comes on you - after that ye shall not be helped."

"And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the penalty comes on you - of a sudden, while ye perceive not!"
[Al-Qur’an 39:53-55]

There are four criteria for repentance: First, agree that the act is wrong. Secondly, stop it immediately. Thirdly, never do it again in future. And lastly, compensate for the loss if caused to anyone.

Answer 11

the same thing He does with a christain who commits an accidental sin Forgives them.
