Do Sins of the Thought Count?? |
|
Believers and non-believers alike see to think very highly of themselves. Most firmly believe they are NOT sinful. Many go as far to say they don't sin in Deeds. And whats more they know they have bad thoughts but think as long they don't do these evil thoughts they think God won't count evil thoughts against them, only evil deeds. This is UTTER FOLLY.
- Do we honestly think we are dealing with a God who can't see into our very heart & KNOW our thoughts?
- Knowing ALL our very Thoughts, Motives, & Intentions that God would simply ignore them and stick only with our deeds?
1Samuel 16:7
... for man looketh on the outward appearance, but THE LORD LOOKETH AT THE HEART. Psalm 94:11 The Lord knoweth THE THOUGHTS of man, that they are vanity. 1 Kings 8:39 (KJV) Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) Matt5:27-28 [Jesus speaking] "You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY'; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY with her in his heart. Matt15:19 [Jesus speaking] "For out of the heart come EVIL THOUGHTS, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. |
Look at why God wiped out the world in a global flood.
Genesis 6:5
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of THE THOUGHTS of his heart was only evil continually. Proverbs 15:26 THE THOUGHTS of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words. Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous THEIR THOUGHTS. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. |
SAVED PEOPLE STILL SIN
So there you have it God counts our sins of Thoughts, Motives, Intents, as well as our Deeds. So just because you didn't commit the evil thought to action doesn't mean it won't count. Do we sin even after we saved? The Bible says YES.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is NOT A JUST MAN upon earth, that doeth good, and SINNETH NOT.
1John1:7-2:1 [written to BELIEVERS] 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from ALL sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: |
So the Bible says BELIEVERS WILL SIN even after they are saved. Do any of us dare to contradict God on this and insist we can keep ourselves sinless, when even our sins of thought count against us? The good news for Believer tho is that even these sins whether done intentionally or unintentionally are ALL covered by the blood of Jesus.
Mark 3:27-29 [Jesus speaking]
28 Verily I say unto you, ALL SINS SHALL BE FORGIVEN unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. |
This blaspheme of the Holy Spirit is rejecting the idea that they are sinful even after one is saved and need Jesus to save them from ALL sins (past, present, & future). These are the promises inside the Bible.
If you wish to accept Jesus and ensure that your forever saved and forgiven of ALL your sins, then simply BELIEVE that Jesus died for your sins and TRUST that Jesus did it for you.

- There is nothing you can do to mess up your salvation because its entirely ALL in Jesus' hands.

- There is nothing you can do to make God love you less or even disown you.
