Sadly and shockingly, three famous well-known people with highly respected reputations were actually found instead to have led secret, shady, and suspicious lives. One was a well-loved athlete (OJ Simpson), the second a respected stock market investor (Bernie Madoff), and the third a brilliant theologian and admired Christian apologist (Ravi Zacharias). Once their sorid activities were made known, their true character was found not who they appeared to be, but became redefined by the evil deeds They Had Done In SECRET.
Likewise our true character is also not based on what others see, but How We (also) Behave When No One Is Watching.
Those that operate incognito (either on-line or in the world) justify their actions by thinking that what they’re doing is OK 'IF no one gets hurt,' and 'IF I’m getting what I want' and 'IF I don’t get caught.' On the contrary the Bible tell us that NOTHING is ever hidden from God, and that despite our most discreet indiscretions “Your sin will find you out.” (Numbers 32:23)
But here is the GOOD NEWS! (literally the meaning of the word 'Gospel!')
1 John 1:9 promises us that:
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Friend, regardless of whatever you have done in life, be it open or in secret, the LORD is willing and waiting to forgive you completely! Instead of walking through dark doors of Secret Sins walk through the door towards CHRIST that leads to Forgiveness …and Eternal Life.
