Your reply makes me think of my dad and many people's parents who are getting old. Telling the same stories over and over again. LOL. I just take it. Sometimes I tell him I've heard that one before but most of the time I just let him tell me the story again as if I'm hearing it for the first time. How does he not know he's a broken record?Most of us have noticed the consequence (or punishment if you will) is built right into the sin action. No matter how many times a sin is committed, there is regret, even a hopelessness. And an effort to try again. Used to take archery. Time and time again I missed the bullseye, even the entire target. Most sin is like that.So, no punishment at all for the Christian?
When we are unjustly impatient (a sin) with a family member or colleague, the immediate consequence is discord around us. We repent (heal the discord) and ask for forgiveness. Even so, the consequences (punishment) may linger because trust was broken and needs rebuilding. That takes time.
