Does God punish you every time you sin?

Answer 1

Jesus Christ bore the consequences of my sin:


"Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all."

" Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
After the suffering of his soul,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied ;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.

Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors."

Isaiah 53:4-6; 10-12

Answer 2

The wages of sin is death, not a crappy day.The good news is that Jesus took the full weight of sin.

Bad things happen in life. God did not promise that just because we are Christian that everything is going to be easy. If it was true then everyone would believe in God because they would know that everytime they did something wrong they would be severely punished for it. The only punishment that God gives is that if someone dies and they were living a life of sin and rebellion or disbelief that they would be separated from Him for life

Answer 3

It depends. According to Islam there are major sins and minor sins. If you truly ask and beg for forgiveness and perhaps pay your punishment Allah will forgive you. You must truly beg for forgiveness. Major sins like murder, homosexuality, rape, etc. you will probably be punished for. But a strong belief in one God will always help you. Your good deeds will come back and benefit you at that time.

Answer 4

What kind of punishment?

Everytime I "sin" I seem to feel really good about it. Perhaps god is rewarding me?

Answer 5

This is called the law of threes everything you do good or bad comes back to you three times and ten fold. It is the most serious punnishment you can get into. Be evil and evil will come back bringing worse with it.

Answer 6

Question: "Does God punish us when we sin?"



Answer: In order to answer this question, we first need to distinguish between punishment and discipline. For believers in Jesus, all our sin – past, present and future – has already been punished on the cross. As Christians, we will never be punished for sin. That was done once for all. “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). Because of the sacrifice of Christ, God sees only the righteousness of Christ when He looks at us. Our sin has been nailed to the cross with Jesus, and we will never be punished for it.

The sin that remains in our lives, however, does sometimes require God’s discipline. If we continue to act in sinful ways and we do not repent and turn from that sin, God brings His divine discipline to bear upon us. If He did not, He would not be a loving and concerned Father. Just as we discipline our own children for their welfare, so does our heavenly Father lovingly correct His children for their benefit. Hebrews 12:7-13 tells us, "As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Whoever heard of a child who was never disciplined? If God doesn't discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children after all. Since we respect our earthly fathers who disciplined us, should we not all the more cheerfully submit to the discipline of our heavenly Father and live forever? For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God's discipline is always right and good for us because it means we will share in his holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening--it is painful! But afterward there will be a quiet harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.”

Discipline, then, is how God lovingly turns His children from rebellion to obedience. Through discipline our eyes are opened more clearly to God's perspective on our lives. As King David stated in Psalm 32, discipline causes us to confess and repent of sin we have not yet dealt with. In this way discipline is cleansing. It is also a growth catalyst. The more we know about God, the more we know about His desires for our lives. Discipline presents us with the opportunity to learn and to conform ourselves to the image of Christ (Romans 12:1-2). Discipline is a good thing!

We need to remember that sin is a constant in our lives while we are yet on this earth (Romans 3:10, 23). And as such, we not only have to deal with God's discipline for our disobedience, but we also have to deal with the natural consequences resulting from sin. If a believer steals something, God will forgive him and cleanse him from the sin of theft, restoring fellowship between Himself and the repentant thief. However, the societal consequences of theft can be severe, resulting in fines or even jail time. These are natural consequences of sin and must be endured. But God works even through those to increase our faith and glorify Himself.

Answer 7

No, we have a very forgiving and patient God. He is here to help us to be better, but our nature is to fail because we are not God.

Answer 8

Maybe not right away, but you can be sure in the end, he will.
God can punish you in this world AND in the next.

Answer 9

If you forsake him "AGAIN"... in sin previously repented, the holy spirit vacates you untill you forgive and get forgiven.

Answer 10

we do pay for the consequences of our actions... every action has an equal and opposite reaction... he chasens those he loves always...
