Sin has severe consequences: Upon God’s threat to destroy the nation, Moses prayed and asked God to destroy him also (Exodus 32:32). God told Moses, “Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book” (Exodus 32:33). We will face severe consequences because of our sins, unless those sins are forgiven by the precious and powerful blood of Jesus. “The LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made” (Exodus 32:35). There are no words to describe the horrible consequences that result from sin in our life! God cares about you just as He cared about the Jews. The answer to life’s problem is not a calf of gold. The answer for life’s difficulties is devotion to God. Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Have you repented of your sins? Have you confessed your faith in Christ to others? Have you been baptized for the forgiveness of your sins (Acts 8:26-40, Acts 22:16)? As a Christian, we are to trust in the Lord and obey Him. He can deliver us from every sinful way.
