Things Unconffessed Sins Do…Part 2

Separate from God

Isaiah 59:2  

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

Testify against us

Isaiah 59:12  

For our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us. Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities:

Jeremiah 14:7  

Although our sins testify against us, O LORD, do something for the sake of your name. For our backsliding is great; we have sinned against you.

Cause God to remember them

Psalms 25:7  

Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.

Expose guilt

Psalms 69:5  

You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from you.

Cause God to visit

Hosea 8:13  

They offer sacrifices given to me and they eat the meat, but the LORD is not pleased with them. Now he will remember their wickedness and punish their sins: They will return to Egypt.

Load down

2 Timothy 3:6  

They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,

Cause to pine away

Ezekiel 33:10  

“Son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what you are saying: “Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?”’

Leviticus 26:39 

Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their fathers’ sins they will waste away.
