Do my sins sabotage God's best plan for my life?

Do I lose God's best plan for me if I live in sin?

This is such an important question, and it was sent to us in the email from my regretful

middle-aged woman named Valerie.

Hello, Pastor John.

Thank you for this podcast.

Can my grievous sins even commit it as a Christian thwart God's plan for my life?

If I live in sin, will I get his plan B for me?

Will I miss out on his plan A?

I recognize that I am forgiven, but must live with the consequences of my foolishness.

But I also wish I hadn't sinned in ways that probably changed the course of God's blessing

of my life and the lives of my adult children.

Have I forfeited God's best plan for me because of my sinning?

Let me lay some groundwork from the Bible, and then on the basis of the groundwork, try

to give a biblically faithful answer to the question of whether we are living in plan

A or B for our lives.

Let's start with the biblical teaching that all of us Christians will one day stand before

the judgment seat of Christ and be rewarded or not for the good and evil we have done.

Second Corinthians 510 says this.

He all must appear before the judgment seat of Christ so that each one may receive what

is due for what he has done in the body whether good or evil.

Second Corinthians 510.
