Does sin break fellowship with God?

When Jesus died on the cross, did he pay for the consequences of sin?

Was it paid in full? Did He pay it all?

If he did, does all include broken fellowship with the Father?

Yes, of course it does. Jesus paid for broken fellowship.

If you still think it does, ask yourself:

What is it that breaks your fellowship with God? Is it sin?

If your sins caused you to be out of fellowship with God, what then keeps you in fellowship with God?

Not sinning?

How much of your life can you live not sinning?

Two hours?

So, how much of your life would you be in fellowship with God?

Not very long, huh? This is not good news. Sin does not break fellowship with God. Because the wages of sin is not broken fellowship. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). So if God were to deal with you according to your sin, what would He have to do to when you sinned?

"Aaaah that's even worst news!"

But here's the good news. At the cross, Christ paid for our sins "once for all." (1 Peter 3:18). The Law demanded sin to be punished by death. So Christ came and being our representative - paid the penalty of sin, which is death; so that we could have His life in us.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ. You have that life in you right now. Eat on that truth and enjoy the fruit it bears in your life.
