Do you know the difference between forgiveness and consequences?
Here’s a little story to illustrate:
A pastor is driving down the road — and speeding. He gets pulled over by a police officer, who lets him know he was going 12 mph over the speed limit.
The pastor replies, “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize how fast I was going. Would you please forgive me?”
The officer returns to his car, then comes back smiling and says, “Good news, Pastor — I forgive you… and God does too! And here’s your ticket.”
Forgiveness and consequences — side by side.
This week at CrossWalk Church, we return to our message series in Genesis. As we rejoin the Lord with Adam and Eve, we’re reminded that God promised a Savior. He forgave them.
But alongside that forgiveness came real consequences.
Still, God didn’t abandon them — He blessed them in their pain.
Let's celebrate the God who forgives us completely and walks with us through the consequences of a broken world.He is still blessing, even in our pain.
The sermon entitled "The Consequences of Sin" was preached by Pastor Dan Solofra at CrossWalk Church, in part of the “Genesis: the birth of God's people" message series.
