How do you feel when you commit a sin?

Question

Express yourself, I want to know how people feel when they know they are committing sins. I mean logical sins like “thou shall not steal”, “thou shall not committee adultery” and so forth. Never mind what religion you are, moral sins that are being broken like lying and cheating and eating to many cheeseburgers or drinking from the milk carton with your mouth! ;)

Answer 1

My conscience will bother me. After I became born again, I still experience temptations and sometimes I fell into sin (I cursed to someone with a lot of hate, and I remember Jesus said whoever hates his/her brother already commit murder in his/her heart, Matt. 5:22). But I no longer slaves to sin.
Roman 6:6 " We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. " I asked God to fill me with the fullness of the Holy Spirit to help me say no to temptation, and to convict my conscience of my wrongdoing when I do sin.

Answer 2

Pretty good sometimes and awful at others. It depends what you're doing but make no mistake if there was no pleasure in sin then people wouldn't do it. A 60 year old man who has an affair with a 25 year old woman would feel pretty good about it until he saw the devastation in the eyes of his wife and kids when they found out. Most of the time it's the consequences of sin that make us feel bad.The act itself though can make us feel great. By the way I'm not the man in question.

Answer 3

There are degrees of everything. Of course, I never killed anyone. I have never stolen from a store, but if I did I wouldn't go back there for fear of being caught. I have never cheated on my wife, but if I did I would have to tell her out of guilt. However, I can tell small lies, drink out of the milk carton or take the Lord's name in vain without batting an eye.

Answer 4

I feel guilty about it, ask forgiveness and resolve not to make the same mistake again. I don't think making the occasional mistake makes someone a bad person, but I do believe that habitual sinning can distance you from God. If you repent of your sin and turn away from it, then you can begin to grow closer to God again. Of course, that isn't always easy to do, but the closeness with God is worth it.

Answer 5

The Holy Spirit convicts my spirit if I sin, or my Lord Jesus lets me know if I have sinned. I don't sin on purpose.

I don't steal, commit adultery/ idolatry, or any obvious sins.

The sin of a Christian is more likely having a hard time to forgive. Not blessing those who curse you. Accidently yelling in a flesh moment. Etc.

Answer 6

Guilty

Answer 7

I feel guilty about committing the sin, then I start being afraid that God is really going to forget about me when it is time for the "Second Coming of Christ"

Answer 8

The sin which makes you sad and repentant is more liked by God than the good deed which turns you arrogant.

Answer 9

I don't believe in sin which is a very self-centered and immature perspective on wrong-doing (all about 'me me me' and how 'I' have done wrong and need to ask god for forgiveness instead of focusing on others). Instead, I try to see the harm/suffering I've done to others and look to avoid it.

Answer 10

Extremely good. The way a boy scout feels after helping a little old lady cross the street.
