The choices we make, decisions we call, and actions we do all have their results or consequences. One way or another, we have to confront them and bear with the indefinite reality of whatsoever it is. In most conditions, they don’t look significant enough to us. But the more we dig in, the more we come to know how it breeds series of other actions that might completely alter, redefine, or reshape your life and the happenings in it.
We make hard choices when we are in menace or in the qualms of the tormenting times. But in that circumstances, sticking to do the right thing, be faithful to what God Almighty has asked us, and be committed to your belief, all this is not easy at all. Having a meaningful, exemplary, and inspiring life costs something more than we can even expect.
Consequences Of Our Actions – The Beginning
Consequences to our actions start back from the early days of the creation of this world. Let's eye on the example to get the best insights about it.
When our Father in Heaven, God, decides to create Adam because the inland area was barren, nothing would grow. God wanted someone to cultivate the soil and grow fields of grain and other crops. Then the Lord God erects artisan wells and causes them to rain on the land. And then, from Adam's rib, the first woman on earth was created. They lived piously in the Garden of Eden unto the serpent, craftier than the other animals, led the woman into temptation.
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day, God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because, on it, God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. These were the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. When no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground.”
(Genesis 2: 16-17)
Before Adam and Eve begin the world they were created for, i.e., nurturing the land, they get tempted by evil and get into trouble with God for eating the prohibited fruit, its consumption God had commanded against.
“To the woman, Lord God said, 'I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor, you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
(Genesis 3: 16)
“To Adam, our Father in Heaven said, ‘Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, you must not eat from it,' cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil, you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plans of the field. But the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust, you will return."
(Genesis 3: 17-19)
"The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife Eve and clothed them. And the Lord God said, 'the man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and also take from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.' So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life."
(Genesis 3: 21-24)
More About Consequences And Actions In The Holy Bible
It is our firm belief that the Holy Bible is God’s words. So God Almighty has clearly instructed in the Holy Bible about the consequences, choices, and decisions and their actions in our lives.
In Galatians 6:7, we read,
"Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
Additionally, in Romans 6: 23,
“For the wages of sin is death.”
“For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.”
(Colossians 3: 25)
"The prudent sees the evil and hides, but the naïve go on and are punished for it."
(Proverbs 22: 3)
"You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin."
(Leviticus 24: 15)
“But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet neglects to observe the Passover, that person shall then be cut off from his people, for he did not present the offering of the Lord at its appointed time. That man will bear his sin.”
(Numbers 9: 13)
The Final Words
In a nutshell, we clearly get the instruction from the Holy Bible that to our actions, decisions, and choices, there are consequences. Thus we need to have faith in God and make our actions speak of honesty and truthfulness so that they don't become a problem for others. And thus, we will be saved from God's wrath on us.
