I continued to have pre-marital relationship with my girlfriend, whereas I was telling people that God has allowed to have physical relationship only between husband and wife. And a boyfriend or fiance is not a husband and girlfriend or fiancee is not a wife.
I heard many times on radio, read articles, people told me about sin of pre-marital, but that never made home in me. Even my own conscious told me that it was wrong, but I snubbed it always and self justified myself that I was giving her the pleasure. I always thought that Lord God would forgive me when I confess my sins. I never realized that Lord God eventually lifts HIS hand away from a person who lives in prolonged sin and mine was a prolonged sin.
It was only when I heard a speaker on Christian radio saying that God forgives your sins when you confess it. I was driving with my friend and told him that it was true and God would forgive my sin of pre-marital too. My friend, then, took out a scripture from the Bible and told me what I was doing and where I was. I argued with him and justified my action but one by one he defeated all my points and told me about prolonged sin. That's when I realized what life I was living in. I just can not afford to risk God taking HIS hand away from me. I immediately told him to pray for me and after him I prayed and confessed my sins.
That's what I call that the Lord rebuked me. HE nudged me many times about my sin, but I did not listen to HIM till the day my friend showed how wrong I was.
