Andrew Fletcher - "Consequences"

There are consequences to our actions, there's a link between what we do and what happens afterwards and there are consequences to the sin that we do and the bad decisions we make even if we are forgiven. The aim of the consequences of forgiven sin is not to settle the accounts demanded by retributed justice but to show the evil of sin and that God does not take sin lightly. We must not equate forgiveness with the absence of painful impact, being forgiven does not remove the consequences of our actions.
