The Dangers of Hidden Sinಮಾದರಿ

The Nature of Hidden Sin

Technically, a person can be saved and still be holding on to hidden sin since we are covered under the new covenant, but if they really loved God and had a desire to follow His commandments, they would turn away from their sins and commit to Him fully.

When God revealed the man who had disobeyed His instructions, Joshua and the people of Israel took him, along with the silver, the robe and the gold bar he stole, to the Valley of Achor.

But get this, Achan did not go alone. In fact, all of his sons, daughters, cattle, donkeys, and sheep were taken with him. After they had assembled, all of Israel stoned everything and everyone belonging to Achan. The nation then burned their corpses and heaped up a large pile of rocks on them (Joshua 7:25-26).
