2 Corinthians 7:8-11
Have you ever listened to a commercial about a medication when they start taking about side effects? The possible side effects are sometimes very concerning. Some of the side effects bring a since of laughter while others bring great alarm. I heard one last night that was temporary blindness. Now that is something to think about as you take medication. We think of side effects in regard to medicines but most of the decisions we make in life have side effects. Side effects are effects other than the desired effect.
Godly repentance has so many side effects. Godly repentance is done to right a relationship with God, but look at the side effects.
The Message puts it like this in verse 11, “you’re more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more reverent, more human, more passionate, more responsible”. Wow, now that is some side effect list.
I want to encourage you to take time to repent as you become aware of sin in your life and enjoy the benefits.
