God can also be permissive, but that does not mean He is endorsing our sin, He is however showing us where that sin leads and that is to serious consequences in this life and the next.
Just because you got away with sin in this life and were even embraced and encouraged in spite of it by men, does not mean that God has turned a blind eye to it.
Romans 2:16 "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."
Ecc. 12:14 "For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil."
1 Corinthians 4:5 "Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God."
Proverbs 28:13 "He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion."
Luke 12:1 "Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all,"Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
Luke 12:2-3 "
2 “But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
3 “Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops."
It never pays to dishonor and disregard God or His principles. To honor His principles is to honor Him, to disregard His principles is to disregard Him.
