No Limit to Grace for Sin or Consequence of Sin

It is presumptuous to assume that God removes every consequence the moment you repent of your sin. Do not think that the instant you show remorse God will restore everything as it was. He may not. Some sins, such as adultery, come from a flawed character. God forgives sin immediately upon repentance, but it takes longer to build character. It is character, not forgiveness, that determines what God brings next to your life. - Henry Blackaby

This is one of those things that I find people in Christ get confused about. There is always forgiveness in Christ. God forgives. (Psalm 103:12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.) God's redeemed people forgive (Matthew 18:21-34).

But forgiveness does not always remove natural and practical consequences. When we sin, we show a lack of faith and trust in God. God will discipline us to learn to love and trust him. (Hebrews 12:5-6 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.”) The discipline is at times a consequence. When someone sins, that person also shows a lack of restraint, character, honesty, commitment, and honor. Those characteristics make it hard for other people to trust that person. Common sense tells people that the person who sinned has flaws that need to be transformed by the Spirit before that person can be trusted with the hearts and lives of others.

The bottom line is that the sin that impacts other people's lives will have consequences. When your actions dishonor God there will be consequences. (2 Samuel 12:10 Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.)

People that are dishonest and hurtful to others, will be forgiven, but the consequences to those actions may remain. They may lose a place of influence in others' lives. They may lose a position or a personal relationship. Sin has a price. Thankfully, Jesus has paid that price to give us a permanent position in God's family and to give us a permanent relationship with God Himself. The consequence of sin may impact other relationships and the circumstances of life.

If you have sinned, repent and accept responsibility for your actions by respecting the consequences and the need for you to show the fruit of your repentance.
