“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” (Ecclesiastes 8:11)
In the 1930’s and 40’s if Adolph Hitler had been dealt with after his first taking the life of a Jew and before he was responsible for the second death, it is very probable that six million Jews would not have died in Nazi consecration camps and gas chambers in the Holocaust.
Prisons across America are holding men and women who got away with breaking small laws as children. If someone, a parent, a teacher or a friend had stopped their committing such deeds as juveniles, in many instances they would not have committed the larger crime that landed them behind bars.
You and I must take our sins to the foot of the cross and deal with them there in confession and repentance and let God deal with our sins in mercy, grace and forgiveness before He has to deal with them in judgment and wrath. “If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins…” (I John 1:9)
