You can sit in church every Sunday and still refuse to turn from sin.

Paul wrote of those who “have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed” (2 Corinthians 12:21 KJV). His grief was over people who continued in sin without repentance.

That should cause us to examine our own lives. Have we made ourselves comfortable with something God has called us to leave behind? Are we living together outside marriage while telling ourselves it does not matter? Have we treated marriage vows, divorce, or remarriage as matters of personal preference without honestly facing what Jesus taught?

Going to church does not make disobedience acceptable to God. And knowing the right words is no substitute for turning from the sin we have defended.

If the Lord is bringing something to mind, do not push it away. Open His Word. Confess the truth to Him. Seek His help to obey, even where obedience will cost you something.

The door to repentance is open. Will you walk through it?
