What are the consequences of cherishing one sin?

Answered in 1 source

Cherishing one sin can block our relationship with Christ and lead to eternal ruin.

Cherishing even one sin can have grave consequences for a believer's spiritual life. It creates a barrier that obstructs the flow of God's grace, much like a stone blocking water from a pipe. As Thomas Watson illustrated, one indulgent sin can corrupt the whole, analogous to a drop of poison spoiling good wine. This principle points to the reality that allowing one small sin to reside in our hearts can lead to spiritual decay and potentially shut us out of heaven, as all sin is a transgression against God's law. By failing to take sin seriously, we risk compromising our witness and peace of mind; hence, it is crucial to actively eradicate any cherished sin to maintain the vibrancy of our faith and our assurance of salvation.
