Denial

Jeremiah 2:35 "But now I will punish you severely because you claim you have not sinned."

Sin brings repercussions but it is denial that brings the punishment and correction of God. When we refuse to acknowledge our sin or we pretend that what we are doing is not sin, then we set ourselves up to be corrected by God. God corrects those that are his, if you are his child he will deal with sin in your life. There is only one way to deal with sin, confess it, repent and receive God forgiveness and strength to walkaway from that sin and move forward into the future that God has for your life.
