Why Forgiven Sins Still Have Consequences

We can be 100% confident that when we confess our sins, we receive complete and total forgiveness from God. However, God loves us so much, that he’s allowed the choices we make in life to matter. That means that even when we’ve experienced forgiveness for our actions from God, we may still face the natural consequences for those actions here on earth.

Today, Fr. Mike explains why we still experience some consequences for sins that have been forgiven in confession.
