Vær sikker på, at dine synder vil finde dig igen. En person kan se ud til, at lykkes i at skjule sine synder i årevis. Han kan tro, at de ikke vil blive åbenbaret, men Herren kender dem og vil åbenbare dem.
For mange år siden myrdede en mand sin kone med en økse. Efter han havde gjort det, tænkte han, at han bare kunne ændre navn, flytte til et andet land, til en anden by og ingen ville finde ham. Han kørte i sin bil til en anden by, købte billet til det første tog. Han forandret sit navn, forandret sit udseende. Da han kom til den første by var han bange for, at nogen skulle have fulgt efter ham, og han købte en billet i modsat retning. I fire lange år rejste han fra by til by. I fire år levede han i uro, ikke en times søvn. Han kunne ikke sove når han kom i seng. Pludselig blev han vækket af sin kones skrig: Jim, du dræber mig - du dræber mig. I desperation en morgen kunne han ikke mere. Han gik til politiet.
Betjent, sagde han: Gør med mig hvad du vil. Du kan brænde mig i den elektriske stol, du kan hænge mig, men denne ting må jeg have gjort op med. I fire år, dag og nat, har jeg levet i helvede. Ingen søvn om natten, ingen hvile om dagen. Gør med mig hvad du vil.
VÆR SIKKER PÅ MIN VEN -- DIN SYND VIL NÅ DIG IGEN!
Også om du aldrig kommer i fængsel.
I en af vestens byer havde en velstående olie - mand blevet advaret af sin forstander angående en speciel skjult synd. Forstanderen havde gået til manden i kærlighed og sagt: om du ikke vender om fra din synd kommer Gud til at sprede din synd igennem hele nationens aviser.
Manden ønskede ikke, at omvende sig fra sin synd. Han benægtede, at han havde skjult synd. Igen og igen talte Gud til forstanderen og tre gange opsøgte han manden. Men manden benægtede, at have nogen synd.
Herren lader aldrig sin vrede eller sin dom komme over et menneske før det er blevet advaret. Men når det er blevet advaret og ikke vil høre, da er der bare syndens løn til bage, Guds vrede.
En eftermiddag i et møde advarede forstanderen ham igen, og sagde, at Gud havde sagt til ham, at det var sidste advarsel. Men manden benægtede igen.
Da han forlod mødet gik han hen og var sammen med en anden mands hustru. Men denne anden mand havde fået klarhed over, at hans hustru havde en anden elsker. Han skjulte sig i sit hjem med en ladt revolver og omkring ved midnat så han elskeren komme ind i konens soveværelse og manden skød elskeren lige i hovedet.
Den næste morgen bar tre ledende aviser overskrifter om den rige oliemillionærs død.
Det var ikke Guds værk. Gud havde jo gjort alt for at frelse manden. Men det var Djævelens værk.
KÆRE VEN FLYGT FRA SYNDEN. LAD GUD VIDE, AT DU VIL OMVENDE DIG. DET ER DET ENESTE DER KAN STOPPE DJÆVELEN.
Døden vil heller ikke stoppe syndens lønudbetaling. Graven er ikke slutningen på et misbrugt liv. Efter at præsten har prædiket begravelsestalen, den sidste bøn er bedt, blomsterne er lagt ned, den sidste tåre er fældet og jordpåkastelsen er færdig. Da er der stadig noget tilbage.
Graven er ikke enden. Den er begyndelsen på evigheden i himlen eller i fortabelsen.
I Luk. 16 23-24 står der om den rige mand i dødsriget: " Da han slog sine øjne op i dødsriget, hvor han var i pine, ser han Abraham lengt borte og Lazarus i hans skød. Da råbte han: Fader Abraham! forbarm dig over mig, og send Lazarus, så han kan dyppe spidsen af sin finger i vand og læske min tunge, for jeg pines her i denne lue."
Nu var det for sent, at standse lønudbetalingen for et syndigt liv. Nu ville han give alt han havde i denne verden for at undgå det helvede han nu var endt i. Nu ville han blive prædikant og advare sine brødre, at de ikke skulle ende i dette pinested. Men det var for sent.
ROM.6-23 " SYNDENS LØN ER DØDEN, MEN GUDS NÅDEGAVE ER EVIGT LIV I KRISTUS JESUS, VOR HERRE."
Min ven, det evige liv er dit om du vil bede om det og tage imod det i dette øjeblik! Du kan stoppe Djævelens lønudbetaling ved at omvende dig og bede Gud om tilgivelse. Husk Gud elsker dig. Han vil tilgive, han er en nådig Gud. Vend dig til ham i Jesu navn inden det bliver for sent.
Din synd vil altid finde dig på den ene eller anden måde. Men Guds nådegave er evigt liv i Kristus Jesus.
Gud velsigne dig til sand omvendelse fra din skjulte synd!

YOUR WAGES ARE SAFE
Rest assured that your sins will find you again. A person may seem to succeed in hiding their sins for years. He may believe that they will not be revealed, but the Lord knows them and will reveal them.
Many years ago, a man murdered his wife with an ax. After he did, he thought he could just change his name, move to another country, to another city and nobody would find him. He drove in his car to another city, bought ticket for the first train. He changed his name, changed his appearance. When he got to the first city, he was afraid that someone would have followed him, and he bought a ticket in the opposite direction. For four long years he traveled from city to city. For four years he lived in turmoil, not an hour of sleep. He couldn't sleep when he got to bed. Suddenly he was awakened by his wife's screams: Jim, you're killing me - you're killing me. In desperation one morning he could no more. He went to the police.
Valet, he said: Do with me whatever you want. You can burn me in the electric chair you can hang me, but this thing I must have done away with. For four years, day and night, I have been living in hell. No sleep at night, no rest during the day. Do with me whatever you want.
BE SURE OF MY FRIEND - YOUR SIN WILL NOW YOU!
Also if you never go to jail.
In one of the cities of the west, a wealthy oil man had been warned by his master about a special hidden sin. The Master had gone to the man in love and said: if you do not repent of your sin, God will spread your sin throughout the nation's newspapers.
The man did not want to repent of his sin. He denied that he had hidden sin. Again and again God spoke to the steward and three times he sought out the man. But the man denied having any sin.
The Lord never lets his anger or judgment come upon a human being until it has been warned. But when it has been warned and will not hear, then there is only the reward of sin, the wrath of God.
One afternoon in a meeting, the steward warned him again, saying that God had told him it was the final warning. But the man again denied.
When he left the meeting he went and was with another man's wife. But this other man had learned that his wife had another lover. He hid in his home with a loaded revolver and around midnight saw the lover enter the wife's bedroom and the man shot the lover right in the head.
The next morning, three leading newspapers carried headlines about the death of the rich oil millionaire.
It was not God's work. After all, God had done everything to save man. But it was the Devil's work.
DEAR FRIEND FROM THE SIN. LET GOD KNOW THAT YOU WILL REPENT. THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP THE DEVIL.
Nor will death stop the wages of sin. The grave is not the end of an abused life. After the pastor has preached the funeral speech, the last prayer is prayed, the flowers are laid down, the last tear is felled and the grounding is complete. Then there is still something left.
The grave is not the end. It is the beginning of eternity in heaven or in perdition.
I Close. 16 23-24 says of the rich man in the realm of death: "When he opened his eyes in the realm of death, where he was in torment, he saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his lap. Then he cried out: Father Abraham! me, and send Lazarus so he can dip the tip of his finger in water and soak my tongue, for I am tormented here in this hat. "
Now it was too late to stop paying the salary for a sinful life. Now he would give everything he had in this world to avoid the hell he had now ended up in. Now he would become a preacher and warn his brothers not to end up in this torment. But it was too late.
ROM.6-23 "THE WAY OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE GOD'S GIFT IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD."
My friend, eternal life is yours if you ask for it and receive it in this moment! You can stop the Devil's payday by repenting and asking God for forgiveness. Remember God loves you. He will forgive, he is a gracious God. Turn to him in the name of Jesus before it is too late.
Your sin will always find you one way or another. But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.
God bless you for true repentance from your hidden sin!
