Your sin has consequences for yourself and others, even if nobody knows about it. It is not personal, it is not private; we are connected.
God is with us. God wants what is truly best for us. God has a plan for salvation. That’s God’s side and God invites us to be on God’s side. We can choose to stand on God’s side, but that does not mean that God is on our side.
