UOC Primate: sin is always to be punished

Unless we repent our sins, sooner or later we atone for them. It was said by His Beatitude Metropolitan of Kiev and All Ukraine Onuphry during his sermon on September 11, the commemoration day of Beheading of St. John the Baptist, according to the Information and Education Department of the UOC.

“Sin is always punished, remarked His Beatitude. – If we have made a sin and do not regret it, sooner or later we have to atone for it.”

It is not always that the wages of sin arrive at once. “I may do something wrong today, but pay for my deed in a year, ten years, or even later, yet there guilt will inevitably come.”

Only repentance can release man from the sin’s implications. “If a human confesses to it, then he will avoid penalty for what he has committed. God forgives us all the sins we confess to,” concluded the Primate.
