You cannot hide your sin from God, you will be found out/ God knows
Sin has consequences that touch people other than you.
This is not new
You are not the only one who suffers the consequences.
All the people suffered.
Sin disqualifies us for worshiping God
First thing is first.
Verse 10, God says, stop worshipping and make this right.
You cannot effectively worship when there is a sin going on in your life.
No matter how hard you try, no matter how much you want to worship, you can’t really worship if there is a lingering sin going on in your life.
Sin disqualifies us from God’s blessing, God’s plan for us.
Sin separates us not only from blessings but from God himself.
The effect of Sin permeates every part of our lives.
For Christians, the story of Ai has often been used as an illustration of sin in the life of a believer.
Like Achan in Israel, as long as rebellion against God’s will is tolerated there can be no success in life.
Instead, it is necessary to eradicate the sin in order to grow in one’s relationship with God and to receive the fullness of blessing.
The sin of one member of a community has an effect upon the whole community and especially upon that person’s family.
The story of Achan is one that emphasizes the dangers to the people of God and the terrible consequences of sin for those involved.
As already noted, it may be compared with the experience of Ananias and Sapphira and their fate in the young church of Acts 5:1–11 (p.
162).
God rejected their worship.
