I'm a Christian, will God punish me for sinning?

Question

Even if I try my hardest to prevent it, yet I break? I'm confused.

Answer 1

Jesus died for your sins on the cross and rose again. So you're forgiven.

Pray and ask for Jesus' strength to stand against sin. And when you sin (we all do), He will forgive you. That's why He went to the cross for you and me.

Answer 2

We will all give an account of every word & deed when we ALL stand before God. We will reap what we sow. We can ask for God to forgive us. But to use the grace of God as a licsence to sin Is crucifying Jesus a-fresh leaving nothing left to sacrifice.Be sincere when repenting. In other words don't sin thinking that God will have to forgive you. As we're all human and sin sometimes without knowledge..

Answer 3

As a Christian you know the answer is yes, but you must really confront your wrongdoing and if possible correct it without re-opening old wounds. You are aware and have full l knowledge that it is often impossible to put evil doing right and some attempts to do so will make matters only worse. Pray that you will truly recognise the difference i

Answer 4

Romans 10:9 states that "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". If you have done this, you're going to heaven. When we get to heaven, we will have to give an accounting for ourselves and we will be rewarded accordingly.

Frankly, if I'm only allowed to wash windows in the kingdom, I'll be happy. Eternity in heaven is all that matters.

Now, should we sin? No, but we will. That's why Jesus died for us, so that we may appear spotless.

Try not to sin. When you do, confess it and try to turn away from it.

In Christ,

Answer 5

Any Christian who tells you that they do not sin is a liar and the truth is not in them. Also, they call God a liar. John tells us "do not sin." Which means that we should do everything we can not to sin but if we do sin we must ask God for forgiveness and help.

Answer 6

Grace(not law) unto you, and peace(not division),
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace.
Grace is not [the author] of law vs law, but of truth.
Grace can't lie(law) nor die(law). Law Law does both.

Christ is the end of the law(sin and death): Romans 10:4.
You're not truly Christ-ian if you haven't ended the law-ing.
Yer law law will punish you, kill you, if you don't stop lie-ing.

Law: I will forsake you: Jeremiah 23:39
Grace: I will never forsake: Hebrews 13:5

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 7

God said he will never allow a temptation so strong that you have to give in to it. God won't punish you for sinning if you repent and give your life to him.

Answer 8

If you are a Christian, you are dead to sin; the old man was crucified with Christ. So, theologically, it is no longer "you."

But it may well affect your "rewards and punishments" but not your salvation.

Answer 9

if you do not repent ( ask forgiveness & then Turn away from that sin) I would have to believe yes! God will not let the guilty go unpunished....and if someone does not repent, they might want to ask themselves...." Do I really have the spirit of the Living God in me?" ----or am I just playing "church"????

Answer 10

If you didn't have some ancient collection of books written by anonymous authors in a superstitious time period telling you an invisible being was watching everything you do and frowns on the natural behavior he instilled in you, would you still consider what you are doing wrong?

If not, then enjoy it rather than feeling guilt.
