Those Who Do Not Repent Will Be Condemned

Many of us have been abused by someone in our family.   Abusers do not want to admit to abusing us.  They don't want to accept the damage they have done to us.  They will in turn further abuse us by trying to convince us that the abuse never happened.  They will gather up other family members to side with them.   They isolate us and make us feel like we are crazy.  They are very convincing and try to convince us that our memories are inaccurate.   They get us to doubt ourselves.   This is very hideous in the sight of God. 

Many abusers claim to be Christians.   They think they are going to heaven.  Going to heaven involves accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and REPENTANCE.   Denying sin is not repentance.   Repentance involves accepting the sin and acceping the damage that the sin has caused.  It involves confessing that sin to God and the person they sinned against when possible.   Trying to justify sin, trying to blame us for their sin or trying to make it sound like it was not a big deal is NOT REPENTANCE. 

Every person will stand before God and the truth will be revealed.   No one can fool God.  Those who have not repented will stand condemned.

Luke 13:5 - unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

1 John 1:8-9 - If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  9 If we confess our sins,  He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness.

Those who confess their sins to God and those they sinned against and turn from them and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be forgiven of all sin and will be in Heaven.
