John
3:19-20 (ESV) And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and
people loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were
evil. 20
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to
the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
NOTE: One of the
measures of unconfessed sin, is the unwillingness to go to God. Even prayer at
the dinner table is either omitted or ritually and quickly performed because of
a guilty conscience. I suppose it is possible to fake it but in that case the person
knows that they are in sin, they just don't want anyone else to know, nor do
they want to quit. The other case is where they don't want to face the fact
that they are in sin. Church, fellowship, opportunities to pray, all become
enemies to the person struggling with unconfessed sin, because he/she does not
want to face their sin, bringing about admittance and then repentance. And
repentance means turning away from the sin and back to God. We should keep an
eye out for these warning signs. There is a reason that they are called
"warning" signs.
