Considering the Consequences of Our Choices

1 Kings 21:20

Ahab’s Rebellion:

He chose an idolatrous and immoral wife.
He began to worship a false god.
He led a Nation and his children to rebel against God.
He persecuted and killed the prophets of God.
He made a treaty with God’s enemy.

1 Kings 16:30-33

The Final Straw for Ahab:

I. Ahab’s Request (Verses 1-4)

II. Jezebel’s Ruse (Verses 5-16)

III. Elijah’s Rebuke (Verses 17 – 24)

Life Lessons:

1. Sin has Consequences.

Colossians 3:23-25
Galatians 6:7-8

• We Reap What We Sow
• We Reap More Than We Sow
• We Reap After We Sow

2. Some Sins have Continuing Consequences.

• To Correct
• To Remind
• To Caution

3. The Continuing Consequences of Sin Do Not Imply Incomplete Forgiveness.

Romans 8:1
Ephesians 1:7

What should we do?

1. Consider the Consequences.
2. Do not allow sin to enslave you.
3. Keep a short account with God.
4. Be grateful for God’s grace and mercy.
5. Obey God and leave the outcome of your obedience to Him.
