The Death Penalty

In 1983, Karla Tucker brutally murdered two people. She killed them both with an ax while she was carrying out a robbery. However, in prison he confessed his sins to God and became a passionate believer.

Many people hope this change will convince lawyers to reduce his sentence to life in prison. However, the court rejected all applications. The woman remained on death row in 1998, 14 years after her death sentence was handed down.

Even though we have received God’s forgiveness, we still have to face the consequences of our sin. If we lie, mistreat someone, act irresponsibly, damage other people’s property, or violate local laws, we must still make every effort to make amends for all the wrongs we have done.

It is really nice to know that we are forgiven when we confess our sins to God. However, that does not mean we are free from all the consequences of sin. That’s why confessing sin is a good thing, but saying “no” to sin is even better.

“I will confess to the LORD my transgressions,’ and you forgive me the guilt of my sins.”
