The Dangers of Hidden Sin

The term hidden is a derivative of the word hide, which means to conceal or cover up. Sin on the other hand, can be described as immoral acts or wrongdoings that separate us from God.

Ever heard of people referring to God as omniscient and omnipresent? Well, that’s because the Creator of the universe knows all things and is everywhere –all at the same time. (Psalm 139:1-2) That being said, hidden sin cannot be concealed from the Father. In fact, nothing we do, think, or say goes unnoticed, because everything is on His radar. (Hebrews 4:13)

Because God is holy, He cannot and will not exercise the full extent of His miraculous power in the lives of His people when they have tried to conceal their transgressions. Don’t get me wrong, God will never leave or forsake us. This is because as believers, we are covered by His grace, which was graciously bestowed on us through the blood of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

However, in order to truly experience the omnipotence of God, we have to confess our sins, ask the Lord for forgiveness, and actively make the choice to accept His Son’s free gift of salvation. (1 John 1:9)
