Judgment of Sons Part 1: What Happens When Christians Sin?


Listen Later

⚖️ Can a saved Christian be judged by God? Most believers miss the critical difference between the judgment of our SINS (settled at the cross) and the judgment of God's SONS (our daily walk with Him). This powerful message reveals why your eternal security is never at risk, but your earthly fellowship with your Heavenly Father absolutely can be broken. Pastor Fortunato unpacks the often-misunderstood truth about Christian discipline and God's chastening of believers. Using vivid object lessons and clear biblical teaching, you'll discover why God judges His children on earth—not to condemn, but to train us away from sin and restore sweet fellowship with Him. What You'll Learn: ✓ The crucial difference between your STANDING before God (eternally secure) and your STATE of fellowship (can be broken) ✓ Why Ephesians 4:30 says you're sealed "unto the day of redemption"—not until you sin again ✓ How chastening proves God's ownership and love for His sons and daughters ✓ The temporal consequences of sin for believers (Galatians 6:7—you reap what you sow) ✓ Why self-examination prevents painful church discipline ✓ The powerful object lesson about weights and sins that slow your Christian race Drawing from Hebrews 12, 1 Corinthians 11, John 1, and Galatians 6, this sermon confronts American Christianity's tendency to embrace eternal security while rejecting God's daily discipline. You'll understand why God allows consequences for believers who refuse to judge themselves—and why His chastening is always for your profit, never for condemnation.
