Sin Hurts

I want to ask you  to search your heart while I present you with this word the Lord gave me this week. Does your sin hurt? Does it bring you to a point of discomfort, and does it bring you to a point where you feel like the burden is unbearable? I sat down with a young lady this week who asked me if I thought she was a false Christian or a lukewarm Christian. She had a lot of things going on at one time, and my heart broke for her as she listed all these things. After I listened to her concerns, and because of her trials and difficulties and conviction, I said, 'Definitely not.' The explanation I gave was this: A lukewarm Christian, while they have conviction, they don’t have the desire to do anything different. A false Christian will appear to live a life publicly committed to Christ, while their heart is far from Him. Jesus even addressed that in Matthew 15:8, saying, 'These people draw near me with their mouth, but their heart is far from me.' So I ask you all this morning, and even myself, does our sin hurt?
